The Blues Have It



I just noticed it has been  more than a month since my last blog post.  Going back to work three days a week, vacationing in Isle of Palm and meeting social obligations just completely consumed the month of June. 

While I've been posting on FB via my iPhone, I haven't done due diligence about providing links to outfit posts.  Not sure how much any of you like/use the links, but I like to provide them on the blog. 

After a really lovely long Fourth of July weekend with temps that had you reaching for a sweater to watch the fireworks on Friday night, real July hit us with a vengeance yesterday.  In fact, when my Mr. Wonderful snapped these pictures for me this morning, I felt pretty snappy, I was so hot.  After a few failed attempts,  we got it done. Part of the problem lies in dressing for your deep freezer of an office, but snapping photos off your patio where the temp and the humidity is on the rise. I felt as if I were standing in a sauna.

Anyway, this is a nothing fancy outfit.  I love this no-iron white blouse, which though pricey is really no-iron and worth every cent of its cost.  When one shows wear, I just try to grab a new one when L&T has a percentage off everything sale. I scored the skirt when Ann Taylor had a promo that took 50 percent off the entire site.  I was delighted with its light weight and graphic navy print.

I'm also loving these new nude d'orsay flats from Halogen which I picked up at Nordstrom.  The leather is as soft as a glove and the shoes were comfortable right out of the box.

What do you have that you love and think is worth every cent you paid and maybe more?
