Hello Friends – do you want to make the 1st Monday of the summer better?
Then do what I do, think of your favorite summer songs, you know the ones that you just have to hear every year no matter how old it is…the ones you only listen to when it’s hot outside or when you’re on vacation?
Okay, now download, stream or pull them up on Pandora, turn up the volume, then sing along loudly in your office or cubicle – sike…don’t get fired…or carted off to Bellevue, just sing quietly and chair dance!
This is the list with link to my six favorite summer songs.
Sundress – C.o.C.o Brown & The Phat Cat Players
Under The Boardwalk – The Drifters
Hot Hot Hot – Buster Poindexter
Heatwave – Martha & The Vandellas
Summer songs and summer wear seem to go hand-in hand, hence my #1 jam, so when it’s hot all day everyday, I prefer a sundress. This is one of my favorites thrifted from GW Boutique.
Infinity Scarf – Target (clearance)
Sandals – Ross
It’s getting HOT out here!
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!
OOTD – Layering Leaves
Posted on: August 30, 2012
Today is my “YAY-DAY” because tomorrow I’m off for a stay-ca-day to start the long Labor Day holiday weekend. Today’s outfit is layered like the leaves on the lawn …. don’t go summer…please stay a wee bit longer (wiping away tears). Not ready to put away the summer wear so I covered this spaghetti strap maxi with a front zip vest thrifted from Goodwill, accented with a red belt from Ross. Popping more of the red with earrings inherited from my lil sis who passed away in 1992, a bracelet from MizOutlet.com and covered one stone in my ring with red nail polish. The polish is easily removed for a change of color to accent another outfit. I thought about wearing red shoes but decided on these black and white stripped wedges from Marshalls.

OOTD – Anchors Away
Posted on: August 29, 2012
Happy Hump Day Wednesday, I hope you are having a peaceful yet productive day. I am trying my hardest to wear as many summer outfits as possible before the cool days of Autumn arrive. I have a feeling that like summer, the tempetures are going to be extreme but at the opposite end of the thermometer. I haven’t worn this outfit (here) since the Spring when I was chosen “DC’s Friday Fashionista” (here). It was after that post that I remembered the wheel in the garage, where it has been stored for over 20 years, guess it will soon become a yard sale item. I vowed to include it if I ever wore the outfit again…and today is the day, it fits in with the Nautical Anchors Away theme.
This is also the first time wearing these wedge sandals, purchased online from Urbanog.com along with several other pairs in April (here).
Doesn’t the first shot look like I was saying, “don’t start nothing and there won’t be nothing!” – lol
OOTD – Throwback Thursday
Posted on: August 23, 2012
Good Thursday, I hope your day is positive and productive. Today is less stressful now that I am back in my own cubicle after only an hour and half commute which always starts with a prayer for safe travels.
The outfit of the day is a 70’s throwback, wide leg pants and wedge sandals which I wore in Junior High School. The pants were purchased in May (here) and the sandals in June (here), but the patterns compliment each other – I love when that happens! The mix of jewelry includes wood, glass, plastic, stone and metal another throwback to the fashions of the 60’s and 70’s. Purse was purchased from TJ Maxx and is just large enough to carry all my daily essentials without being too bulky. I wish my figure was a throwback to the 70’s, then perhaps the belt purchased from Goodwill would fit a little less snug!
I am giving my son a reprieve this week and have enlisted hubby to take my pics – unfortunately he is not as good but I’d never say that to him. Instead I will set up the tripod that I purchased on Saturday and learn to use the timer on my camera!!!
Top and Belt – Rainbow Shops// Skirt – Goodwill// Wedge Sandals – Marshall’s// Earring & Necklace Set – Jewelrymax.net// Rings – Flea Market Vendor// Silver Bangles – Jewelry Box
He did a little better on Saturday afternoon, I guess he’s not a morning photographer!
