After playing (and struggling) with technology, my blog has a new look! I needed a change. (Now I'm ok with my white photo backgrounds, but eventually I'll need to get creative with that as well.)
And on with the post...
So I had the opportunity to wear my recently thrifted shirt dress to work....
The fabric is a heavier cotton and I thought that maybe it would be too heavy for Texas summer, but I was proved wrong. On the day I wore it, we were getting rain from the hurricane and the humidity forced the air conditioners into full force. I could have used some leggings or tights and an additional shirt layered underneath!
I did try it with socks after I got home, but it just didn't do it for me...
But these sandals sure worked for me! They were a Christmas gift 2 years ago. (Or at least I got a gift certificate to purchase them.) As much as I love them, however, I don't wear them that much. So this was the perfect opportunity! They had just enough red for me to bring out this old DKNY clutch, which sort of looks like a giant coin purse.
In case you were wondering what that weird glowing thing was around my neck, I also wore the Lucite necklace I picked up a few months ago.
Shirt dress success! I think the dress will be in heavy rotation this fall...tights, boots...STOP! Seriously, it's to soon to be talking about fall!

I've had it for 6 or 7 years but I find it a little tricky to wear. Silk has a tendency to be staticy in the dry winters here but wrinkles like mad in the humidity of summer. So today, the high being in the 60's or so, was the perfect day to wear it. (It was chilly in the morning so I had to do some layering.)
Perhaps it's the combination of pastels with the brown? Not sure, but I like it and as long as the winter stays as mild as it has this year, I think it's going into current rotation. Well worth the closet dig, don't you think?
