Another day of the layered hair cut.... I thought I was getting the hang of styling it, but it looked pretty pathetic by the end of the day. On the next washing after this, I could do nothing with it. I just couldn't wear it straight and I really don't have time for curling daily. Anyway, I'm sure you are tired of hearing me complain by now. Some of you left some nice comments on yesterdays post. Thanks. That was the day after the cut when I still had some of the salon styling going on. Once I washed it myself, it was all over.

 

At least I can always find happy shoes in my closet. I don't wear these much (last seen HERE and HERE, but pulled them out for an Instagram challenge on print mixing. I have to be careful about print mixing in a conservative office, but mine is relaxed enough to get away with some subtle mixing  once in a while. I doubt I'd wear this outfit to court, but I'd definitely wear the shoes to court with a solid outfit.

Everyone is in full on fall mode now, but I could not resist wearing these floral pumps one last time last week before fall officially came in on the calendar. The last time I wore them I was studying the colors in them and noticed teal and coral were prevalent. It's usually the pink that catches my eye, but this time the other colors won my attention. From there, the rest of the outfit came together. Thank you floral pumps for a fresh and new way to wear this blazer. It was getting tired.


A look back at how I wore this blazer a couple of years ago:

 

And how I wore it last year:

It's another Bridgette Raes inspired look. Remember I said I may or may not have fallen in love with a necklace in this post and went on an ebay hunt for it? This is it. I had all the basic pieces to recreate these outfits but needed the accessories. I 'm on love with the necklace and this purse. I'm amazed at how much the purse goes with and the color is refreshing after years and years of brown and black bags. And fall or not, I'm sure you will see this necklace again.

Happy feet

I wanted a pair of floral pumps all last summer. I finally bit the bullet during a Payless sale this spring and purchased these. I got a compliment from a colleague on them. He said something about "happy feet". The irony is that the tendonitis in my left foot flared up shortly after wearing them and my feet still aren't happy. But my heart was, at least for a day.

Maxing it out

As some of you get ready to say goodbye to summer (it will still be hot here for a while), I thought I'd share some looks with my maxi skirt and an old maxi dress I was able to pull out and wear again this summer. I love maxi skirts/dresses in the summer- so cool and comfy.

Funny thing about this dress- I missed it so much when it was too small for me, and now that I am able to wear it again, I've only worn it once. It seems a little tired and drab to me now, but was once a favorite. Funny how we change.
