Ele-fun

This skirt is part of a two-piece outfit from Thailand that I found at Goodwill.  It is a wrap, and it might not wrap quite enough.  Oh well.  That's why I have a slip.  The top that goes with the skirt is cropped, and I'm trying to figure out how to style it.  This outfit is a better use of the sandals than last week.

 

I managed to avoid accidentally cursing during my TV appearance last night, so I consider it a success.  Unfortunately we didn't go on until around 9:30 and didn't leave the studio until after 10.  Who knows what time I actually got to sleep since it seemed to take forever for me to wind down.  I'm dragging today.  So glad it's Friday.

Stephen got two new beer recipe kits in the mail yesterday, so we will be brewing this weekend.  We've invited some friends to share the fun.

Tangerine TV

I'm going to credit Gracie at Fashion for Giants for inspiring me to experiment with the tangerine color family this year.  I found this shirt at Goodwill, and I decided it was worth the $1.75 investment.  What do you think?

Shirt, Goodwill; tank, Rue 21; slacks, Younkers; shoes, Born, Younkers; dragonfly pendant, purchased in Cozumel; cicada pendant, ebay; bracelets, purchased in Cozumel; earrings, Christmas craft bazaar.

I am supposed to be on TV with my boss tonight, and I am not looking forward to it.  I was going crazy trying to decide what to wear until I remembered one little secret... It doesn't matter.  No one cares.  Yay!

A new cicada.  No, it's not a cockroach... or a
palmetto bug.  I think I'll paint the eyes red
to make it clear.

Yes, my feet are kind of busted.  You should have seen them
before I painted them up last week.

These earrings don't get enough wear.  Hopefully
they will get more now that I am embracing the
tangerine.

Don't forget that Thursdays are for Thrifters!

A Second Shot of Lemon Lime

This jacket is the other half of the microsuede skirt suit I wore yesterday.  Can you see how it might be a bit too much green microsuede all together?  I decided to carry over yesterday's green and yellow color palette, but a bit more casual.  I'm getting kind of reckless with wearing denim to work in the past couple weeks.  Hopefully I can get away with dark jeans.

Gadget frequently tries to tempt me to play
while I'm taking photos.

I lost my cicada earrings for almost two months, so it has been a long time since I last wore them.  Oddly, the last time I wore them was another day that I  just wasn't feeling.  If I could think of any excuse to stay in bed today, I would.  Hopefully the cicadas will save the day.

I got a little wild with my shoe styling today.  I found a pair of clip-on magnolia flower earrings at a thrift store a few months ago, and today I clipped them to my shoes as some extra adornment.

Day 1

Day 2

After two days of lemon and lime, which outfit was a refreshing sip, and which left a sour taste in your mouth?
