Well hi there!

Ever get really busy? Like OMG-I-forgot-my-name busy? That's been my summer. However, I've had a great time and love it. I just don't have time for this blog when I'm that busy :( Prepare yourselves for a photo dump of posts over the next couple days. I'm going to recap our summer via photos.

Today's outfit:

Dress: TJ Maxx
Cardi: NY&Co.
Wedges: Nine West ($7 at Marshall's!!)

TGIT

Thank goodness it's Thursday, kittens! I'm off work tomorrow and Saturday and CAN'T WAIT to spend time cleaning the house and piddling around in the garden. Ten years ago if you told me I'd be saying this I'd have sworn you were nuts!!

Dress: Cynthia Rowley

Cardi: New York & Co.

Flats: Sam Edelman

TGIF, kittens!

Is it sweltering where you live yet? It's supposed to be 93 here today and there's a good chance I may melt. I came prepared by wearing a loose cotton dress. I figure I can stand over a fan when no one's looking and cool off :)
 
Dress: Cynthia Rowley (via TJ Maxx)


Michelle Obama pearls: Walmart

Shoes: Crocs Prima flats *sigh*

I picked up this cardigan at Target the other night for next to nothing - $5 out of pocket! I had a top I returned plus a 20% off Merona coupon so after all that, I was only out $5. Not bad!! I was stumped as to what to pair this with but after a few minutes of thinking about it I said, "Screw it" and threw it on w/a black dress.

This dress was a real steal also - $25 at TJ Maxx. It's hard to see in the pic but it has some adorable pleating on the front and back. I tried to snap a pic of it but it's kinda hard to see still:


Pretty cute, huh? I love that it's cotton and loose and perfect for hot and humid days.










These shoes are a total accident. If you recall a couple of years ago, I had the misfortune of leaving my beloved Prima flats in my car and they shrank like crazy. I tried to stretch 'em out but after my little science experiment, they shrank right back and became worthless to me. Well earlier today I was at Big Lots and what do I see for $10? More Primas. They didn't have black - just Easter Egg colors. I picked up the light green (celery) and passed on the purple and blue. I may go back and get another pair because these are so perfect for the yard and for stashing under my desk at work.

I didn't want a repeat of my previous experience w/these so I put them on and ran errands in them. Then I completely forgot I had them on when I took this pic - whoops! I swear I had cute black flats on earlier!!

One step up from wearing pajamas to work

That's how Tracey describes super cotton dresses like this and she's absolutely right! It's a great and comfortable way to look put together.

I'm having a hard time getting a new photo spot at work now that I have an iPhone. There's not a good place to prop/lean it. Any tips?
