Hot Pink Temps

The temperatures are getting higher here in the Inland Empire.  So, I'm looking for cool colors and fabrics to make sure I don't burn up during the day.  The office is air conditioned but once I start going out into the field I need to stay cool.  What better ensemble than a thin cotton top that breathes and multi colored skirt.  And yes, you've seen this skirt before.  I just love the colors and pattern of it.  It seems to go with just about any color blouse and I just love the possibilities of it.  That's gross grain ribbon attached to the top of the skirt and eliminates the need for a belt.  Needless to say you can spot me walking a mile away in these colors.  My new fav.

I'm Back!

Finally!  I was starting to get a little worried there that perhaps I stepped into something I didn't know a whole lot about and wouldn't be able to get out of.  In a panic that my blog had been spearheaded into cyberspace, I made a few phone calls and got her up and running again.  I'm disappointed in myself that I only produced one day's worth of outfit pics in the interim, so I will write more of something else to make up for it. How worried am I that I'm showing too much leg in this outfit? Not much really.  You need to let your legs out of their skins (jeans) in order to get some sun, don't you?  I know it looks hot and sunny out and I'm wearing a blazer, but really it was a tad bit cool this day.  

I'm really liking the idea of shopping my closet.  The only new piece I have on here is the turquoise necklace made from two separate pieces bought at the local Hobby Lobby at 50% off.  A cute necklace for less than $6.

For a few more days until I can figure out what happened to it.  Be patient.  I will be posting as soon as it's back up and running.


Update, I think I got this thing fixed.  We'll see.

Color Me Up

 I'm learning some valuable lessons as I continue to filter through my closet and drawers.
#1 My shopping trips do not have to happen all that often.
#2 There's more to a wardrobe than black and
#3 Wearing bold color doesn't mean you're coo coo or that you have a quirky personality. (I'm certain mine is quite bland)

In discovering those three facts I'm learning that while this blogs title has the word fashion in it, the blog is primarily about finding your own style, no matter what your age, and setting your own rules.  Your style and mine will never be the same, because everything about us is what determines our individual style. Does that make sense?

The big whammy for me was that I needed to try new things.  By that, I mean pulling things out of my closet, even if I think it won't go, and laying it out on top of something else to see if it suits me.  I may even have to try on several items before deciding on one outfit that gives me the warm and fuzzy.  

  Being worried about this color combination pushed me to try it on and until I saw someone else wearing it I still wasn't sure.  It's kinda like the "you go first" thing.  You want to see someone else do it before you put yourself out there.
