It does that lovely mix of dressy for work and funky for casual. For some reason, I always get preppy in the late spring and summer. Must be all those cool crisp khaki pants and white tops. And because, I am really not all that preppy, I use things like the watch above to funk things up.Also, watches and purses are so much more fun than cardigans.
And then there are the shoes. I don't really need any shoes for right now, except for maybe a pair of cute flats. I need boots for the fall. So here are the current contenders:
The Millie from the ever funky Dr. Martin, because they would look SO good with my black and gray skirts. Of which there are many. And while I love my boots with the cute little heel's, sometimes you just need a good pair of stompy-boots.
These lovelies are the Brixie by Fitzwell. I stumbled upon them and have been drooling ever since. I like the dark brown, and the mid-calf shaft means that they should fit my athletic legs with no problem. Now, I just need to find myself a pair of red pointy boots and I'll be set!
As for clothing, this is a very hard time of year for me. Because I can't remember the last time that my legs saw the sunlight, and because I gained a Backstreet Boy while I was knocked up, I can scar small children for life by wearing shorts. I am giving self tanner a whirl, and bit the bullet and got some white shorts. I should also mention that I am eating better and exercising again, and things will return to acceptable levels soon. Because I'm sure that this poor boy would love to get back to not making records, or whatever in the hell the Backstreet Boys are doing now. The most pressing "issue" (a funny concept considering the amount of clothing) is going to be blending the wardrobe so that it is all fun and pretty and not as segregated. I have a tendency to group and wear all black and gray or all brown and red. Should be easy enough to get things to play nicely: accessories baby!
I have started my "for fall" list, because what I think that I want is so important that I have to tell the Internet. But, the idea here is FOCUS. I need to keep to my list this year! Last year I ended up with about 7,000 pairs of black pants. Handy, but boring. So, this year the search is on for a pair of dark orange boot cut (the bigger the bell the better) corduroys (or chino's - its the color not the fabric). What are the chances?? It's fun to have that thing you search the Internet till it's dry for! That's what lunch breaks are for, right??
And, just maybe - I'll even post some pictures of me in my glorious outfits! What fun! Now where is that camera??
