Last night, I started my most recent athletic endeavor - pickleball. Basically, you play in the same type of court as tennis, except for it's only 10 feet wide. You play with a wooden paddle that looks like a big ping pong paddle, and the ball resembles a whiffle ball. I wasn't sure about whether or not I would like it, but I did. Stay tuned to see if I become a pickleball addict.
Onto my outfit. Today, I am trying to force autumn into happening. This cute little dress is from Old Navy. It's chiffon, and it has an attached knit slipdress underneath. The only problem is that the slip is about 4 inches shorter than the chiffon part, so it still requires a half slip. That could be the reason that this cute dress was on such a deep discount.
I also decided to break out a pair of shoes that I got last year and wore exclusively during the fall and winter. They are tan suede and made by Mossimo, which is a Target brand. Here in SoCal, Target donates a lot of new items to the Goodwill shops, and I got these at one of those. I layered dark taupe hose with cheetah print ankle socks to complement these boots. They are a desert boot style with a lug sole and a stacked heel.
This dress came with a self belt, but for more interest, I went with a rust colored braided belt with an antique gold buckle.
In keeping with a bohemian theme, I wore a necklace that is made of a bone disc with some ethnic looking beads making up the balance.
I went all hippie with my arm jewelry also. On the left, I have a tan leather cuff with a mother of pearl bar, and my wedding set. On the right, I wore my carved amber ring and my Native American souvenir copper cuff.
So that about does it for today. Oh, and in keeping with my usual "day late, dollar short" week, I am linking up with Erin at www.simplyjustlovely.com for Working Girl Style. I have been working hard all week, and am looking forward to my weekend off. Stay tuned for lots more shenanigans.
