Lime and Khaki

OOTD inspired by the inset pic of the safari cat skirt.  I am also trying to wear some of the items that I have purchased recently before summer comes to a close.  I am doing a pretty good job now that I have an idea of how many items that have not been worn.  I posted a set on polyvore a collection of items purchased this summer that I have not worn.  My goal is to whittle this number down to nothing.  I'll keep you up-to-date.  Do you have any items in your closet that you were excited to purchase but do not have a place or occasion to wear this article of clothing.  Join me in finding new and inventive ways to utilize every item you own at least once or consider finding it a new home.

Tennis, anyone?

I attended a tennis tournament with my BF yesterday!  We spent a wonderful time catching up, people watching and trying not to burn in the sun.  It was her first tennis tourney, so I was able to share with her my love for tennis which dates back to the days of Andre Aggasi and Pete Sampras!  Those were the days!  I definitely had more interest in the men's side of tennis.  But the women are wonderful also.  Stefi Graf, Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati were awesome in their heyday.  I especially loved the quickness and cleverness of Martina Hingis.   The Williams sisters have always been a favorite of mine.  This tourney did not have such big names as there is another tourney in progress.  Maybe, you've heard of it - the 2012 Olympics!   All of my current faves are scheduled to play.  I need to catch up on the action there.  But it is always fun to see live tennis.  I hope that you had a great weekend. 

Fall Preview - 2012

Thoughts of cooler temps and fun clothes are calling my name.  I can't believe that the summer is halfway done.  But I still have a lot of summer fun planned.  I am just looking forward to the offerings of the fall season.  I'll need to take inventory of my closet and see what additions are needed.  ;-)

Happy Friday

Today's OOTD.  This is the closest item to the Anthropologie top that I have.  I really like this skirt.  It's a great color and very comfortable.  Happy Friday!

Too Darn Hot!

This is today's OOTD.  It was another 100 degree day.  This is the outfit that I chose to stay cool.  I am a little disappointed in the sweater.  My office gets cold (icebox cold) at times.  So another layer is always necessary.  I think that I would prefer my short-sleeved navy blazer instead of this sweater.  The blazer is more of a swing blazer than a fitted jacket.  The blazer is breathable and the sweater, not so much for triple digit weather.  What do you wear to stay cool and professional?

Afternoon at play

I will be attending a tennis match next week and I am thinking about dressier options.  This is just a dream because I hate being hot and dressed up (especially if I do not have to be dressed up).  But this may be a nice cool option.  But I don't think that pencil skirts, heels and bleachers are a good combination.  So this may have to wait for another day. 

Rainy Evening at a Gallery Opening

Saturday was a particularly rainy evening.  But it was also very warm.  So, I opted for a sleeveless dress with a wrap.  I never used the wrap as the gallery was very warm.  Hence, it never left the inside of my bag and I forgot to add it to this grouping.  The company was great.  The art was good.  And the wine was free.  A great night!
