OOTD – Timeless Tuesday

Gauchos have been referred to as “old lady capris”, but I consider them timeless wardrobe pieces.  I own several pairs and love them because they can be worn during any season – winter with boots; spring with open toe shoes; summer with sandals; fall with tights and booties.  Today I opted to wear with a double, bow back top, a tri-metal belt and metallic liz claiborne slides.  Poison ivy has spread and I am trying hard to keep it away from my face, right now it just the arms and 1 leg..

OOTD – Monday Maxi

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!!

OOTD – Sizzling Summer Sun

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.

OOTD – Cool in Capris

Today is going to be another hot and humid summer day but it’s FRI-YAY!!!! When I got home yesterday it was still 99 degrees but today it’s supposed to be cooler and stay in the low 90’s. My outfit of the day are closet staples purchased a couple years ago and are my go to comfort clothes. White denim capris and a sleeveless top always feels good and is cool enough to wear in this weather. I ventured into the back of the closet to find my summer sandals, these are one of my favorites purchased last year from Bear Feet Shoes. My jewelry is always a mix of gold and silver and today I added a bronze ring, bracelets, and earrings. Bronze is a metal that I also like to wear especially in the summer.

FRI-YAY !!!!

The only way to start the day – COFFEE!!!!

Bronze, silver, gold – I’ll mix them all.

HAVE A FUN FILLED WEEKEND!

OOTD – Maxi Dress to Maxi Skirt at Work

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.

OOTD – Summer Songs

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!

Summertime fun in the sun calls for good music and these are my favorites – click on the links to see YouTube video. What are some of your favorite summer songs?

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.

OOTD – Maxi Monday

Last week while at Marshalls, I saw the Valerie Bertinelli clothing line and fell in love with this multi-patterned skirt. It’s a comfortable fit with a very high waist which I like because low riding clothes just don’t work for me.

OOTD – Funky Friday

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!
