My brother refers to me as Cyndi Lauper. When I am rushing, I have a tendency to throw on a lot of bold pieces instead of t-shirts and sweat pants. Fortunately, my husband is South American so he thinks bold colors and styles are fun. We wouldn’t be married if I dressed like a school teacher from 1985. So there’s that.
I get dressed every single day with care when I go to work, so it’s hard to make myself be proper and acceptable on my days off. I throw on whatever and go. The thing is, my closet is wonderful since I work in retail management. When I try to get dressed like a regular person, it’s a time consuming challenge, so it doesn’t happen often.
This day, was a shopping and movie day so comfort was the thing. When I say shopping, I don’t mean shopping. We do not shop for fun, mindless purchases. It may be coffee, a cell phone repair and a health supplement errand. I don’t want to make it seem like this man takes me to Louis Vuitton or anything. I am lucky if he will step inside a Ross or TJ Maxx. There was that one time in a Prada store in Paris, but that was once in a 10 year span of time.
At this point in my life, having a lot of stuff is not my goal. Time, cash and cutting down on my acquisition of meaningless things is my focus. Learning, staying focused on reality and being a loving person are important. It is just as easy to throw on something fun though, than something that resembles vomit.

Bye, Summer. You kicked my ass. I gained 10 pounds because it was too hot to do anything outside. I’ve been working in my yard all week because I neglected her all summer because of you. The A/C in my car now needs a trip to the doctor (again) because of you.
Now, that it’s a cool, crisp 89 all week, as opposed to your sorry 100 degrees or more…I will pull out my Fall Wardrobe. There will be boots, and velvet, and layers and good hair days because it’s just about impossible to have a decent hair day when it’s 100 degrees and humid outside. The struggle is real.
The post above is from about 6 weeks ago. I didn’t post much because it was just too hot outside to deal with reminding Ken Sjoberg to focus the camera before clicking. Ugh. He goes from Alejandro to Liverpie real quick when it’s hot.
Summer made me decide to only post when it’s fun. I was with a friend on this day, and it was so hot and steamy outside that I decided to embrace the messy bun.
As far as the light silk Johnny Was scarf…I literally feel naked without one on now. I’ve sort of made a game out of the scarf thing at this point. Each Johnny Was scarf is like a little piece of art. Things are looking up though because we are now moving into real Johnny Was Scarf Mode as Winter draws closer.
Let’s move forward together into Fall and Winter! Bring on the boots, scarves, jackets, fabrics with texture…and please Lawd…put the flip flops away by November. This is a non-negotiable.

POP OF FUN
How often does one have life events which call for a very sheer, white fringed dress? Hardly never. There’s no good way to wear a bra with such a dress, so I opted for a scarf so I wouldn’t be too exposed. Then there’s the shoes. I have worn them once. But my husband loves them so I threw them on as well. Then there’s the bag, which already had everything in it…so I grabbed it and ran out the door.
We were only going mattress shopping so there was no one else to impress. It turned out to be a whimsical and fun outfit so I thought I’d post it.
