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!!

On Saturday after the power was restored the men and I jumped into the car and drove to New Rochelle, NY for a cousin’s Baby Shower. Nothing makes you more aware of your own aging until your “baby” cousins start having babies, in this case having her 2nd – a boy! My cousin was just a toddler when she danced at our wedding and now she has her own dancing toddler. Traffic on the Jersey Turnpike and GW Bridge was terrible and we got a little lost but once we arrived it was a fun, fun family affair. I was also able to see my “friend-for-life” and hopefully this weekend she and her friend will be stopping in Delaware so we can do some more catching up.
I love my family and had a great time – Congratulations and God Bless India and Mike!
Do you hear the theme song from “Taxi”?

Alrighty now….here we go again…the next heatwave is coming. Excessive heat warning is in effect starting tomorrow with temps reaching 97 on Saturday. I miss the days when I could work from home because I would definitely be poolside with my laptop on Friday! Oh well, those days are long gone and now I can wear my old favorite summer work clothes starting with this 2 piece skirt and top set. The sandals were purchased from Burlington Coat Factory last year to wear to my son’s graduation, but they weren’t comfortable enough to be worn all day so they ended up in the back of the closet.

I chose to cover the maxi dress with a top and belt because I’m not comfortable wearing skinny straps to work. The temps are expected to reach 100~ and we have a scheduled fire drill at 2:30 this afternoon so I might have to remove the top while outside.

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!

It’s FRI-YAY the beginning of what is predicted to be a gorgeous weekend. I plan on getting my inside chores done early so that I can sit poolside reading magazines, listening to music and sipping a few cold ones!!! I am not sure what my sons have planned for their pops but hopefully it includes eating out so that I don’t have to cook! I am wishing you all a safe, fun filled, fan-tab-u-lous weekend and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads.
Enjoy!

This dress was one of three purchased in May 2009, to wear to my grandmother’s funeral – RIP Mama! Blue was her favorite color and I wanted to wear something blue but ended up wearing the traditional funeral black. It has been hanging in my closet ever since because it has a short cropped jacket and ribbon belt which makes it look very matronly. Today I decided to wear it but without the jacket and ribbon belt and it’s now one of my favorites.

Orange is one of my favorite colors because it can be worn any time any season. I love the brightness of this thrifted J. Crew top paired with the asymmetrical brown and beige skirt especially on such a warm and bright day.

Today started out a bit rainy and overcast but temps are supposed to rise with bright sunshine heading into the evening commute.
The polka dot shirt was thrifted from Goodwill and started out as a size 2x. I sew so I never let sizes deter me from making a purchase and I had been searching for a black and white polka dot top. With help from hubby who pinned the sides so that I could cut and sew it, it’s now a better fitting size large. I wore a Fedora instead of carrying an umbrella which is such a pain when walking only a few feet into the office from the parking lot.
