Rainy, Rainy

Well, I love my Hunter wellies and don't really need rain to wear them. But, we have had quite a lot of rain lately and I am looking forward to some sun to dry things up.

And warm things up...I put a long sleeved striped shirt under this chevron dress and added a denim jacket and scarf to be comfortable.

A twirl...please Mommy?

And a hug from my girl puts the warmest smile on my face!

Thanks to my friend Annette for my new Alex and Ani bracelet! I am lucky to receive such a sweet gift.

Belated Post: Thanksgiving in South Carolina

Found these photos on my iphone. I wore it one day during my trip to Hilton Head, SC to visit my husband's parents.

. 

 I liked the fun skirt, baseball T and statement necklace.

 Sorry to include the bathroom sink but my iphone photo skills are not up-to-par!

All in a dress

I've had to teach quite a few field labs this fall but, I still want to look stylish as I traipse through the mud, muck and streams.  

 This is one look I pulled together with a striped dress, a fatigue inspired jacket and my trusty Hunter's.

 I think I was able to look put together to be comfortable, hip and fashionable.

Not much of a Statement?

I pulled this necklace out to participate in the Marion Berry trend of the month style challenge for August: Statement Necklaces.

And then I thought "Is this a statement necklace?".

It makes a statement about me, I like classic colors and proportions and shapes. And

It will have to do since this is what I wore!

I know it must look like I ripped the sleeves off my jacket mid photo shoot but, that was not the case. I put the vest on in the morning and went out to photograph this outfit when I decided I was too chilly and I changed to the jean jacket instead of the vest.

Dress: LOFT

Sunny Monday

I love this top I thrifted, it is so classic and the fabric is a nice weight and feel. I haven't featured here because it is too heavy to wear when the temperatures are in the 90's.

The 100 degree temperatures of the weekend left us with a rain storm and much cooler and comfortable temperatures. I pulled out my white denim skinnies and was happy to get another wearing from them this summer.

Another Fun day on Monday

Another Monday in summer and therefore another day of fun adventures and activities with my daughter.

Simple outfit: Bermuda shorts, polka dot empire waist blouse, leather sandals. 

My girls!

I had to include this photo too, such a sweet picture! This is what we wore to a neighborhood party and had just enough time to snap a few photos before we left.

Also, isn't this watch cute? 
It has a buckle strap (plastic) and a large bronze-gold face and I picked it up for only $7.00.

Too tall shoes?

The last time I wore these shoes my husband told me that "I was too tall to wear those kind of shoes". Well, as you can see I wore them again. This time with Bermuda shorts to balance out the proportions of this look. 

I don't think for wedges they are particularly high but they are certainly taller than shoes I typically wear.

I think these are six foot high fence sections. Too tall?

I paired the J.Crew shorts with a red silk shirt and a navy polka dot belt to give a nautical feel. I like the sleeves on the shirt rolled up rather than straight down. I think this calls for some alterations.

And now as I look at these pictures with the shoes on, I must be six feet tall. So that's why, he just doesn't want me to be as tall as he is!
