We've been experiencing some hotter than heck days in Texas. When it is over 100 degrees for half the day, you tend to just stay inside and soak up the AC. Who cares if your light bill is higher for a few months, because you don't want to die before then by walking outside! And Houston is extra blessed because of the crazy humidity.
But that's enough complaining. Before I continue, though, I'd like to blame the heat and humidity for my lack of fashion posts. I just can't make myself take pictures outside when I am sweating within 10 seconds of walking out there. And y'all don't want me to do it before work, because my make-up gets put on in the truck. I know, safety hazard, blah blah blah.
Anyway, so I love this mint green blouse because it's so breathable for summer. It's light and airy and even pretty too!
In this first pic, I paired it with some Ann Taylor shorts for a quick and cute summer outfit for the weekend. I think this was a Sunday and I first had on a lace black skirt and then changed to shorts to bum around the house.
Note the stretchy headband and lack of footwear. I'm pretty sure I had just done a load of dishes and came outside to take a quick pic.
The next day, I donned my gray pencil skirt, fav summer blazer, and snakeskin heels for an easy breezy work look.
I love using 1-2 pieces from my Sunday outfit for a quick look on Monday. I just can't get inspired without help on Monday mornings. The weekend is over too quickly and my brain isn't functioning yet because I make my coffee right before I leave!
Y'all, this picture makes me laugh.
I mean, what on earth was I thinking when I looked into the camera like that?
"I know your deep, dark secrets, Mr. Camera"
haha.

Please ignore the fact that I need lipstick. Thank you.
Also, I hate lipstick. But I love lip gloss.
These are the earrings I wore on my wedding day! :)
Yay for love & dangly earrings!
Close up of this lovely blouse that I'm trying not to wear every single day. But believe me, I totally want to.
Do you ever make it easy on yourself too and just grab a piece from Sunday to wear to work on Monday?
Sometimes I will even copy the entire outfit for Monday and just leave it at that. Please don't think I wear dirty clothes or anything, I only re-wear it if it was only worn on Sunday for a couple hours.
psbtw, It's good to be back! Missed y'all!
Yay, it's GREAT to see your smiling face on my google reader. I use to recycle Sunday to Monday, but my new job requires sweats..lol
ReplyDeleteLove the little pleats on your blouse and your white blazer. I hope you had a great weekend! :)
Whew! That sounds so unbearably hot(at least for this northern girl!) I love the top and I love all the variety you have to wear it with so many different things!
ReplyDeleteI love lip gloss too and am not a fan of lipstick at all. At least not until I started blogging and realized I NEEDED lipstick in my photos. I usually forget though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know when I worked that I used to do the same thing! If an outfit worked on Sunday to go to church, I knew with certainty it would work Monday morning for work when I was too groggy to make decisions.
ReplyDeleteI love how pulled together that blazer makes this look.
