Hot is right. We are having a little tropical episode here. It's pretty hot, in the mid-80s, but it's really humid. Of course, my main concern is my Sideshow Bob hair. My hair is naturally super curly - when it's short, it's pretty much a 'Fro. But I haven't had short hair in forever - I also haven't had uncolored hair in forever, so I'm really not sure what color it actually is. I'm guessing that it's brownishblondishmostlygray. The point of all this is that my hair looks exceptionally awful these days. So I feel compelled to counteract that with exceptionally cute outfits. But I don't think I succeeded today. Take a peep :
The skirt is a 100% silk number, made by Studio M. That was (maybe still is) a Macy's brand. I'm going out on a limb and saying that I do most of my clothes shoppping at Macy's. They have a sale almost every weekend, and then if you use your charge card, they keep taking off 20%, until things become very affordable. The Tshirt came form Hawaii, in some souvenir shop over there (although I have been to the Macy's at Ala Moana many times). Since this outfit came off a little grandmotherly, I decided to spice it up with accessories. I went with my Leopoldo Giordano butterfly shoes.
That helped, but still not a bullseye. So I guess I am going to have to comfort myself with the thought that at least it feels like pajamas. For my necklace, I went with my garnet blossom and the matching earrings, which you can't see.
On my left hand, I have a cool and very sturdy leather wrap bracelet with big pointy studs. I have had this a long time. I also have a diamond solitaire, under which I have put a band that is a trio of fire opals.
You can see that I'm still using Concrete Evidence by Ulta on my nails. On my right hand, I have a Brighton bracelet that was a gift from my coworkers for my birthday a while back. I wear it a lot in the winter, but not so much in the summer, although I don't really have a reason for that behavior. The ring is silver and onyx.
Well, that's it for today. My outfit is ultra-meh, but you know, after a day sweating in this humidity, probably nothing would look all that great. So I will try harder tomorrow. I got sucked up watching Investigation Discovery last night and didn't put a lot of effort forth on my appearance. I am a huge fan of Lt Joe Kenda, the Homicide Hunter, and he was on last night, so Elli and I were glued to the screen. I love Joe. Today, I am linking up with www.pinksole.com for How I Summer. Apparently, I summer like a grannie.
