Sunday was dinner with my Step-dad, step-brother and sister and their families to celebrate a belated Father's Day. We went to the new Our Best restaurant in Jeffersonville. Now, I'm not usually one for down home country cookin', but this was some good eatin'! I had the biggest piece of peanut butter pie for dessert. The girl said it was the last piece in the pan, so instead of cutting it in half, she just gave me the whole thing!

I hate shorts and only wear them when I absolutely have to. Like doing yard work... which I NEVER do. Casual cotton skirts are my subsitute for shorts in the summer. They are cool, casual options for us ladies that don't have the prettiest of thighs.






Here is a closeup of my necklace. I've been hearing a lot of talk about "statement knecklaces" lately. I would have to say that I think this necklace would fit into that catagory. The stone is about 2" high and 1" wide, so it's pretty substantial. It was made by local artist Sarah Balmer. I have a couple of her pieces and I just love them. She uses quality materials and her pieces are done well. Her designs can be found at Scout (which I mentioned in this post here) and some other boutiques around town.





And last but not least are my leopard peep-toe flat wedges. I started thinking today when I had these on that along with my hate of Crocs, I am developing a hate of rubber flip flops. (Sorry, Les... I know you have a post wearing flippies, and you look adorable in them, but...) I guess I don't get when these started being acceptable to wear off of the beach and out to dinner? I guess about the time that it started to be acceptable to wear your pajamas to the grocery store? I just don't know. The only place I've worn rubber flip flops in the last year has been out to walk the dog and on my uncle's boat. These little flats are adorable and they take just as little effort to put on as a flip flop... and they look so much better. Just say NO to the flips, girls! I will step off of my soap box now. :)
