Remember this tee from the post two days ago? The same day that I wore it with the skirt, I had a cook out to go to that afternoon. I paired the same top with floral shorts and sandals, and I was ready to go. I went with pink accessories for a little more fun and to balance the navy. And I'll admit I was skeptical of these shorts when I first bought them, but they have been worn lots this summer. I still have a few more ways in mind to wear them.

Super quick post because I'm running late. I had an awesome but busy weekend.

I have always worn this skirt in a super casual way before and never thought of wearing it with heels or "dressed up." Inspiration came from Megan's Moda. I reversed the striped piece and went with a striped tee and solid maxi skirt. I loved the result. I didn't wear the floppy straw hat but tried it on for kicks while taking pictures.

Here are two other casual ways I've worn this skirt:

I have worn my white jeans way more this spring and summer than I have shared on the blog. They are just such an easy go to, and the options for outfits are endless. I wanted to put together a light cool outfit for a  Saturday morning meeting but still have a little color. Long pants were more appropriate than shorts for this meeting but it's still so hot. This tee and scarf did the trick with the jeans.

I'm so angry right now I'm not sure I'll get through this post. Last night our dog helped herself to a pan of brownies that I left on the counter to cool. My husband was with her when I left the room. He walked out just long enough to brush his teeth, so she helped herself. She is a Belgian malinois and tall enough to stand up and reach the counter. This resulted in an 11:00 p.m. trip to pet ER to have vomiting induced so she didn't die from chocolate poisoning. I love her dearly but she has some anxiety and behavior issues and I'm getting a bait of it. Put this together with the fact that I spend so much time in the kitchen cooking since we eat a whole food, gluten free, mostly paleo diet due to some allergies, and I rarely have time to make the extra treats, I am furious. It goes a little deeper than just "the dog ate the brownies" but you didn't come here for this, so I'll stop and move on.

I sneak this gold trim tee in at work from time to time. It technically doesn't fit dress code, but with a blazer, no one seems to notice. I last wore it with a camel blazer here:

 

This would be a winter version. With the light colored pants and colorful accessories, this striped tee is  a summer piece again.

Red, white, and blue for work or play

With the Fourth of July coming this weekend, I thought it be fun to round up ways to dress in red, white and blue. It's a classic combination I go to year round, not just for patriotic holidays. All of these are from my archives:

A little nautical

I have typically worn this shirt with all navy in the past. I love how the white gives it a little more of a nautical vibe. Less of a bumblebee vibe. Even though it's navy/yellow, my boss always says it reminds him of a bumble bee when I wear this shirt. His poor wife- that man SO CANNOT give a compliment. But we get along well, and he is funny at times, so I don't take offense.

Happy Monday! No, I'm not usually this excited for Monday and I have a busy week ahead, so I'm just trying to psych myself up for it.

I've managed to get a little behind again on posts. I wore this Sunday a week ago. I expected to be hot in the sweater, but I survived.  I'd loved to have paired this with a different shoe, a light grey maybe, but I had to work with the closet I've got.

Here are two other ways I've worn this skirt. I think I've worn it more than this but I'm drawing a blank. It's one of my favorite skirts.
