Flexible Attire

I totally asked for it!  I looked up at the sky and pleaded for the rain to stop.  I hate driving in the rain.  Oh it was sunny today...and so sticky and hot!  The outside pictures were taken in the morning; however, in the interest of full disclosure (sorry, can't take the lawyer out of me) around lunch time, I couldn't take it any longer and had to remove the purple shirt underneath.  That's dressing for work in Florida for ya.

Please excuse the bathroom background in the last picture...office bathrooms are so nice, right?

Mia has photobombing down to a science :-)

Prim and Proper

Who wants to visit Florida this week??  We've got beautiful stormy weather and grey skies in the forecast for the week!  Unfortunately, I woke up feeling pretty drab this morning much of it due to the yucky weather outside.  My mood to wear something comfy overpowered any sense of wanting to look put together.  Here's to hoping for better Florida weather!

Blue Skies

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!  It's  hard to go back to the office after a long weekend but it always helps to know that at the end of the day, I have a lil doxie to snuggle with and DVR to look forward to :-)

The REAL Party Dress

Happy Memorial Day!  So this is the dress I ended up wearing to the wedding that I got all dressed up for on Saturday when the wedding was really on Sunday!  I've always been so bad with dates and invitations.  It's a fact that I can go weeks without picking up my mail which is so so bad.  I once missed a friend's bridal shower because I never checked the mail and didn't open the invitation on time!

The Party Dress

Gosh, it looks like I'm all dressed up to go somewhere...well, I was.  A friend of mine was getting married so my hubby and I got all dressed up, took pictures, got in the car, I pulled out the invitation to make sure we were on time...oh, we were on time...in fact, we were early...The flipping wedding was the next day on Sunday! Grrr!  I swear my head is always somewhere else.  You would think since I rsvp'd to the wedding that I would know what day the wedding was.  Nope!  Since I'm not one to waste hair and makeup, I changed clothes and went shopping...so it wasn't a total waste ;-)

Memorial Day Colors

Why hello there Maria's pasty legs!  Another hello goes out to my hubby photog whom you can see in my sunglasses.  Uh oh hubby...your cover is blown!  He's not actually a photographer...just a nice guy that wakes up early to take photos and pretend to be walking the dog if we think someone might be watching our little photo shoot :-)  Hope everyone is having a good start to their long weekend!

Spotted

I've come to realize that the older I get, the more drawn I am to styles I wore when I was younger...like toddler younger.  Not literally, but I am definitely more drawn to polka dots and bows more and more and more...will it stop?  Probably not but I'm okay with that :-)

Flowers and Lace

I am clearly loving JC Penney skirts right now.  In one trip, I snatched up this skirt and two others and I'm loving all of them!  This is my first time owning a pink skirt and I have to say I'm pretty obsessed.  I ordinarily wouldn't wear a bright color if I know I'm going into court, depositions, etc, and since today I didn't have any of those things on my calendar I decided to wear this skirt.  Well, I get to work today and my boss pops in my office and asks if I'll go to depositions this morning...hmm, pink skirt, lace top, and a big flower necklace...not too intimidating I thought.  However, I threw on a black blazer and it surprisingly came together nicely.  This means more colored skirts for me now :-)

Dainty and Minty Skirts

It's no secret to those who know me or see me everyday at work that I love pleated skirts.  This one from JC Penney caught my eye because of the color.  Most of my skirts are some sort of dark color but I'm venturing out into colors purposefully.  I'm not quite sure if the skirt can be called mint because it is more in between of mint and powder blue.  It actually reminds me of the pistachio macarons my little sister brought back for me last night from the new Laduree boutique that opened in NYC.  I think I've consumed more than a dozen macarons this month but I am in NOOOOO way shape or form complaining :-)

Cargo Pink

You wouldn't know that I live in Florida by the look of those super duper pale legs!  Although I can tan if I tried, I'm terrified of sun rays (obviously) and trying to find a self tanner that won't make me orange ;-)  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Shades of Blue

My hubby and I spent Sunday morning the best way we know how...sleeping in then eating breakfast at one of our favorite local restaurants, Sisters.  I love eggs benedict and Sisters definitely kicks it up a notch by adding roasted red pepper in their hollandaise sauce.  It seriously tastes so amazing!

The Leopard and the Salmon

Do NOT let the long sleeves, long pants, and scarf fool you!  It is hoooottt here in Florida!  But that doesn't ever stop me from wearing what I want.  I may complain every second I stand outside but that doesn't bother me...just the people around me ;-)

Leopard and Green

I know I say this every single Friday but I am sooooo ready for the weekend!  I have big time plans to sleep, sleep, and more sleep.  I do want to go see The Dictator at the movies so I guess I will have to wake up and get dressed for that...although, I have been known to go to the theater in yoga/pajama pants before ;-)

Green Pleated Story

I'm wiped out from work and have nothing much to say today except...wow, those are some dirty stairs...
