When I wear it, it is.

I *could* wear jeans all the time for work. There are people who show up looking like they are going to the beach to paint fences. But I like the concept of dressing for work, if only to provide a distinction between workself and homeself. And looking professional there doesn't take that much effort, and works in my favor as far as getting a bit of respect from a fairly bottom half of the pile. Even so, the work uniform is dress slacks or skirt (mostly summers) and random top. I have pants in black, grey and light brown/beige/khaki, natural linen and chocolate brown linen. Tops are often fine knit sweaters in solids or button downs, of varying sleeve lengths. I even have a few patterned tops. Gasp. Basically things where I grab a top and go huh, this goes with the x color pants. End of thought.

Funny thing is, simple as that? Puts me in probably the top 5% of most formally/professionally dressed folk. When I get compliments from one of the Italian fashionplates, I know we have low standards.... (Seriously, ALL the italians there dress fabulously.)

Color? Is black a color?

Hey, now. My latest collection of solid-colored generic tees also includes dark brown. It's a step!

I think this is universal.

I think this is universal.

Except Italian tourist to Prague. I remember loudly colored tracksuits and backpacks.

Of course, that may have been fashion-forward at the time, but it was ugly.

When my parents were getting ready to go to Kennebunkport last summer, my mother was saying my father needed to bring nicer stuff, and I basically said, "I hope what I'm wearing right now is OK, because this is what I will look like for the next three days."

Owen just took a pair of white, knee-length, lace-edged bloomers off of one of Olivia's dolls and is wearing them around the house.

I should really take a picture. They're adorable.

Cash, I love trotting out the pix of my little brother wearing adult galoshes coming above his knees and a straw hat. And nothing else. TAKE THE PICTURE. For Olivia, if no one else.

(of course, I also have a picture of him wearing gold lame boxers tucked up high, rabbit ears on his head, squatted over a plastic egg, carting a easter egg basket. When he was 25. So. Not to mention the budlight box headgear a few years earlier. So.)

looks down at self...

Um, yep. This summer, I've been totally slack on what I wear. T-shirt and shorts/capris. At least when I go out with friends, I try to dress a bit cuter.

I should really take a picture.

Um, yes, yes you should. And where is your Flip?

hi the aqua will ship around the 1st of Sept. The dots will ship tomorrow Thanks again-Angela

Gotta love the service. :-)

Color? Is black a color?

I hope so, as is dominates my wardrobe

This is the season of Remington Steele where Pierce comes to the front of the stage. I wonder how Ms Zimbalist felt about that.

Okay, that's how they can sell the Trixies for $34. The Obi dress goes for $300+. Right now Masterpiece Mystery is set in the UK in WW II, and it's just drool city. So Trashy Diva's not helping. But they are out of my current allowance, because I have too many pieces of clothes I can't work out how exactly to wear. Even though I've worn them plenty times before.

I do love the bodice on Trixie, though, and it shows so well on the polka dot one. But XS is the bottom of my size range, and if I ever lift a kettlebell again, I'll not be able to wear it.

I'd totally buy this, but just stare at it. I'm so blue underdeveloped.

Shame they have no long sleeved blouses.
