I'm wearing a bright blue American Apparel tee (of the thicker cotton variety, some of their shirts are too thin) and denim just above the knee skirt and black wedge sandals. Bare legs. Because it is Baltimore in August and I am not an idiot. Another important element of my outfit--necklace with tiny blue and green beads and a little clear um..plastic? encased bright blue flower.

I really don't know what I'd do if I couldn't wear tee-shirts in the summer!

Crocs: cute & practical or shoes of the devil?

I just got Owen a pair and he's decorating them with Jibbitz.

DH came home from work early so I have a choice: futz around on the internet or go to the gym and work out/swim?

I think Crocs are cute for little kids, but nsm for grownups. Mostly I think they're cute on Violet Affleck.

Oh, have I mentioned here how excited I am that my childhood crush wrote the script for Gone Baby Gone (Dennis Lehane book), which is coming out in October?? And starring Casey Affleck, which is the connection there.

Crocs = cute and practical. Em has a pair of fuschia knock-offs.

Think I need a pair myself.

And looks like no Gaelic Storm for us, but a movie instead.

Also? Joe sent me flowers. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Black lace trimmed tank, green and blue random "ethnic store" skirt (knee length), crocheted jackety thing, Birks.

Tasteful diamond studs and solitaire necklace, my wedding set, and a vintage diamond ring.

The usual. Though often, you could swap the skirt for yoga pants.

AWWWWWW!

I'm babysitting for a friend Saturday so she can see The Prodigals and Flogging Molly at the Irish Festival.

Paisley cotton skirt in orange, brown, and purple. Brown v-neck t-shirt, brown braided flip flops.

Wedding set and great-grandma's ring.

Boss is pretty lax about his own business casual. He's always in jeans cause he's out on jobsites. We occasionaly have a casual Friday. Hmm...might ask for one tomorrow.

Oh and I always wear a ring my mom made in college--silver w/ jade stone. Desperately needs to be polished.

I feel like the knee-length bermuda shorts with a nice shirt and nice shoes (NOT a tshirt and flip flops) should be acceptable. But my office had gotten pretty casual by the end there.

And I think if it's summer and your skirt is knee length, hose are silly unless you need them so your shoes don't rub. (But NO HOSE WITH SANDALS!)

Personally, I'm against flip-flops and/or shorts in a business setting where you're meeting with clients and/or representing clients. It's just... meh. It's beach attire, formalized.

But I have craxy opinions, I know. I feel dressed down because I'm wearing casualish black pants and motorcycle boots today (with a nice top and the black blazer I keep here). This is only because I'm driving my (NEW!! OMG!!!) motorcycle home tonight, though. (VROOM!)
