Heat of Summer, Denim and White

I think this is the first time that I've blogged the same shirt, in a different outfit... I could be wrong...
Wore this shirt first here, and loved it. Still love the shirt, but I think less so with this skirt. But I think its the denim skirt.
Styled it this time with all filigree-looking silver pieces, but I have to admit, my first impulse was to put on the necklace from the first outfit. Fighting that turned out OK, I think. I like the silver. And I was always of the mind to wear ring on one hand, bracelet on the other, but I kinda liked the gypsy boho feel of the ring and bracelet on the same hand. I feel like its something that Jessa would wear, and although I am no Jessa, I think I could appropriate a little accessories styling. I think I'll try doing it more intentionally next time, and layer even more jewelry on one hand, and wear rings on the other hand too...
My first impulse was also to throw on capris with this, but I only have denim capris, and the day was supposed to hit over 30°C (that's over 86°F for our American friends). Heat + Humidity + Denim = a very hot, sweaty, sticky, miserable me. To the rescue comes the denim skirt. The hot weather denim substitute!

Mreow

Last week was hot... so very hot. But I am not complaining. I swore to myself that once Summer FINALLY arrived, I would not gripe about the heat. So I am not griping, I am just sayin'. It was muthatruckin' hot last week. And maxi dresses still seem pretty on-trend this Summer, so when I saw this little lovely in the back of the closet, I threw it on.
I bought it last year at Forever21+, and though I have a fear of overwhelming animal prints (being that I am nearing—if not sitting smack dab in the middle of—the Cougar years), fear of overheating won out, and out the door, and off on my merry way I went.

Wouldn't you know it, I got TONS of compliments on this dress. Have I mentioned my theory that I get the most compliments on the stuff that I don't really dig?

My son's daycare teacher said she loved my dress.

The girl behind the counter at the grocery store said she loved my dress.

I am befuddled, bewildered and bemused. But I'll take it. And I'll move this dress from the back of my closet to the front!

On Me: Leopard Maxi Dress Forever 21+ (last year); Shoes Charlotte Russe; Necklace/Bracelets Unknown

Black, embellished trapeze dress

No time, no time. No time to take fancy pictures.
Thanks to Liz, my co-blogger, for keeping the homefires burning!

So instead, I now take shots in the bathroom at the office. But hey, you get the idea right? And who doesn't think that cardboardboxes make the BEST decor...

Today's OOTD!

I love this dress. Its a smidge short for my comfort level (that's the shortest I will go with a skirt; I am almost 40 *sob*), and when I wear it, I am always checking to make sure that my goods are covered (because I can't "feel" the dress on, so I feel nekkid), but I absolutely adore the detail on the top, so, I dream about wearing it all through the cold and dreary winter, until it is time to take it out of the back of the closet and let it see the sunlight of summer day again...
Yesterday — crazy hot here in TO. Heat advisory, so this baby made her appearance.
Its kind of a trapeze dress, but I have yet to see anyone but skinnybitches look good in trapeze dresses, so I belt it. Nice and high, under my bust, empire-waist styles...



Check this detailing!
