The way the blue could pull me in

Blue is a fairly recent addition to my wardrobe. I don't remember wearing a lot of blue in my younger days and then I went through the "I only feel comfortable when I'm wearing black" phase (yes, I do remember saying that....out loud).

Now I find I'm wearing blue quite frequently. Today I may have over done the blue palette. Or is that possible?

Have I really not worn these shoes in 7 months? That's kinda crazy! They really are a perfect match to this dress.

I was wearing these bracelets. I bought the same ones for my coworker as part of her birthday present. Now we're like Joey and Chandler - BRACELET BUDDIES!

These are nicer than

Luckily I didn't buy them from the Liberace House of Crap.

I really am over due for a haircut. My stylist is in Costa Rica so I'm going to have to wait a while longer. Ugh!

I wish that I was on that plane

Yay! I'm on holiday! No work until after Labour Day! YAYAYAYA!

I may have gone out tonight to celebrate. Yes it's only 9:15pm and I'm home from celebrating, but I'm feeling pretty toasty. That photo is actually pretty old. I do look rather enthusiastic in it though.

Here's me today.

I can't tell you how many times I either almost fell off my shoes or stepped on my skirt today. It was a lot of times. Many many times. Luckily I never actually fell on my face or ripped my skirt off. Score one for me!

I'm mostly having a "staycation" so I've planned some pampering. I'm having my hair cut tomorrow and on Monday I'm having a pedicure and getting my eyebrows done. On Wednesday I'm getting a tube put in my right ear. Ok, that last thing isn't really pampering but being 1/2 deaf isn't easy.

Here I am looking at my shoes that almost killed me a few times. These are surprisingly heavy and my legs are surprisingly white.

A few people asked what shoes I bought this week. Here are pictures of them.

 Gold Dot sandals.

Liebling Wing Blue shoes.

Another hazy, humid day in the big city today. I have to empty my dehumidifier at least once a day.

My new washing machine was delivered yesterday and at least 5 loads of laundry have been done. Whoooot.

Today has been a low key day. Breakfast at Cora's, a trip to Dartmouth, and grocery shopping. Boring.

Doesn't mean you have to dress boring!

Humidity is not a friend to my hair. It's all floopy and frizzy.

These shoes always get a lot of second looks and they make me about 5'10". Makes it easier to reach the top shelf at the grocery store.

Is there anything more loathsome than grocery shopping? I hate it. Maybe it would be more fun if I enjoyed cooking.... Maybe.

You can see I included my froggy friend in the photo.

Earlier today I went to H&M to try and find some cheap blouses. I left with this skirt and the striped leggings in the photo.

Not sure why the camera focused on the image of me in the mirror - weird.

I've been trying to find a maxi dress of a similar pattern as this skirt. This will have to do. I think I wear this to one of the Duran Duran concerts later this month.

(I've bunched my blouse up underneath the tank top so it looks weird.)



Oh, I finished knitting something.

It's a tea cosy (duh) with a knit cup and saucer on the top. I knit it for a wedding shower that I'm attending tomorrow.

This is the first knit object that I've finished in MONTHS! The recipient should feel special.
