Today’s outfit of the day features a skirt hubby gave me last year for Eid al-Fitr, which is the Islamic holiday celebrating the end of Ramadan. In addition to this Kimono Skirt he also ordered for me a few other skirts and tunics from EastEssence.com all of which I love. This white, cotton, wrap skirt is very flattering and the hand-stitched embellishment, piping around the pockets and buttons really enhances the look. This is a large which is my normal size and it falls loosely over the hips and is not binding, I would have worn my shirt tucked in as shown on the website but you can see my underwear so I decided against it – hubby agreed!

Last spring while shopping at Goodwill in Exton, PA, I saw this dress and immediately fell in love with the pattern. Sunday night while watching the 10:00 news I noticed reporter Luann Cahn had the same patterned dress, but I bet she didn’t get it from Goodwill for $5.00! This is the first time wearing it this summer and once again thanks to Saturday’s picnic, it fits like a glove!

Today is Hazy Hot & Humid Hump Day. This morning the outside thermometer was reading 80 degrees before 8:00! Another excessive heat warning is in effect so stay cool, hydrated and please check on the elderly.
This dress has been in my closet for over 10 years and the side slits are high enough to make it cool and comfortable, but not too high so it can be worn to work on a day like today. The faux-suede, strappy sandals were purchased from AVON and the gold tone, gladiator style works well with tribal print in the dress.

Love my new beach bags from Avon.

Last week’s heat wave officially ended on Monday with temps only reaching 89 degrees, but today it’s expected to be 92 or higher. Last week my outfits were shorts, tanks and bathing suits but that’s not going to fly at work, so cotton is the perfect fabric to keep me cool in this weather. The sleeveless cotton shirt and skirt were thrifted from two different Goodwill stores earlier in the season.

I am counting down my 2-day work week, I so love when a holiday falls in the middle of the week. Today I threw on something cool, comfortable and wrinkle-free, a spaghetti strap maxi covered with a tank top. Can you tell I am ready for my 5-day staycation!!

Conversation this morning:
Hubby:…whoa…you look good….
Me: what!!?…
Hubby: no, you just don’t look like you are going to work
Me: what…too much?!
Hubby: no…no…I just said, you look good
Okay, so he said, I looked good…but what…too much? That’s it…it’s official….today is Tropical Thursday and I am on vacation – MENTALLY!!! NO WORK – .NO WORRIES….sssh just don’t tell anybody – I want this dream to last all day!!
I remember seeing this tropical print dress at Goodwill and immediately thinking about sitting on a beach, with an umbrella drink in my hand. Unfortunately there are no plans to do that so I figured I might as well wear the dress and daydream about sitting on a beach with an umbrella drink in my hand. Thanks to the soaring temps today it’s helping to feed the fantasy.

No not me…the necklace, even though I do feel chunky after having birthday cake and beer over the weekend. Today I decided to wear this chunky necklace that I purchased from Avon months ago but never wore. To my surprise I think it works well with this plain, white, scooped-neck shirt – what do you think?

Happy 1st Day of Summer 2012!!
With an overly warm winter and a very rainy spring it’s only natural that summer is barreling in with excessive heat. We have been given excessive heat warnings for today and Thursday with temps expecting to reach the high 90’s but feel like 100 degrees. This morning at 6:00 the readings were above 70. Stay cool, hydrated and safe!

There are numerous published safety tips on how to stay cool during the excessive heat and I am definitely adhering to the one about dressing lightly.
After work I will be hitting the pool!
