I'm 5'4 and this is quite literally the ONLY maxi dress I can wear with flat sandals; and while the plaid was a bit much at first glance, the length and prospect of incorporating it into the last of my spontaneous jaunts this summer, sold it. . .for $6 to be exact. Get it while the getting is good- Target, Clearance, $6. There was another plaid option, but this was the least rowdy ;)
This week has been a blur of boxes and lists and trucks filled with things and hangers spilling out of closets filled with boxes full of things! I moved into a new house, or should I say- 'new to me' and getting everything organized and in its place has been an undertaking, the likes of which mere words cannot describe. . . More about that later. Anyway, I've received a few 'Where are you?' messages and figured I'd better post something, anything quick. . .so here I am, in the park on my last Sunday in my old neighborhood. I promise next week will be filled with posts :)
Some rely on electronic devices to keep order of their tasks, messages and special occasions-- I, on the other hand, am the lone descender. Voice messages that I cannot immediately return, directives born of conference calls, grocery lists, book recommendations, gift ideas, strokes of genius and other incessant musings- are all tucked away safely, between the fine lines of the diary-style calendar I've kept since I was 17.
I bought this dress 2 years ago and I've worn it about a million times. I love the colors, the deep v-neck, the pockets, and the high waist- so you can imagine how excited I was to find a belt that helped breathe new life into this old favorite.
When you're standing in front of the coffee maker, in a daze, willing the drip to completion, while flipping through the mental catalog of your wardrobe, contemplating stylish options for navigating an unexpected heat wave-- a romper is your saving grace.
What do you do when the Sake runs out? Slip into a silk camisole, hit the deck, bottle a pretty flower and give yourself a pedi :)
What can I say? Some days are leather and some days are lace. I rushed and raced all morning, anxiously awaiting a date with my girls and all too stoked to debut my mummy leggings (Thanks Baby!)-- While yesterday, I sat pretty on conference calls in a pencil skirt and a button down. I still can't decide if the rough and tumble days are more fun than the prim and proper days :)
