Are mosquitos color-blind?

Because they sure seemed attracted to my dress. And my arms. And my face.

I love these colors together. Is it coral? Peach? Melon? Let's go with melon. I love the colors of melon and turquoise together. And I love this dress because it goes with everything. You can throw a blazer, a jean jacket, or a scarf over it and it looks perfect. I got it at GAP on clearance for $12 about four years ago. I'm pretty sure I'll hand it down to my daughter. She will love it. Well, first she will hate it because it's "so 2000", and then the style will come back around and she will thank me.

Why didn't my mom save all her cool clothes? Oh yeah, becasue I made fun of them back in the '80s. Who knew that rompers and Farrah Fawcet hair would come back, seriously?

I asked my husband if he could make my legs look darker, and he said, "Oh yeah, I'll just put the camera on the 'tan' setting." So funny. But he lied.

Pretty Dressy for a Monday

Only when I pick them out ahead of time do I have the presence of mind to wear a skirt and high shoes on Monday.

I got this shirt at Dressbarn which, I think is kinda older-ladyish (no? yes?), but I was looking for school dress-code-appropriate camis and there it was. And it has sat in my closet for about seven months. It is making its debut thanks to this fabulous belt that I got at the Goodwill this weekend. I think they go together like peanut butter and jelly. The whole outfit makes me want to have a garden party. Also a little old-ladyish...I swear there's a 20-someting inside of me that hates that we had to grow up and wear teacher clothes. She still wants to go clubbing.

Shirt: Dressbarn, Skirt: i.e. (thrifted), Cami: Downeast Basics, Shoes: Kors (thrifted), Earings: n/l, 'Rags' in Boulder

I committed a thrifting faux-pas and bought these shoes even though they look a lot like a pair I already have. But when I put them on, they felt like sliding my feet into silk stockings, the leather is so soft. It would have been criminal not to buy them. Criminal!
