I swear I didn't *mean* to match the dishes in the back, but hey, I take a photo opportunity where I can get one. This was in a totally freaking cute little cottage we rented in Fredericksburg, TX. Wine tasting + cute downtown + being able to walk everywhere = winner, winner, chicken dinner!

The long and shorts of it

Shorts, shorts, shorts. We have a love-hate relationship. Being a teacher, I have the summer off which basically means I don't have to wear real clothes for 3 months. Being a woman with the typical body hang-ups, I am crazy-picky about the exact millimeter of thigh that shorts hit at. I'm too old and too self conscious about my upper-thigh area to do booty shorts. I've worked too hard to keep my weight down to do grandma shorts. My typical standby for summer shorts is Bass Pro (my dirty little secret I've admitted here before) but even they failed me. I tried on shorts at Anthro (did bring home one pair that has potential if I let out the hem), Target and Old Navy...I know that isn't the be all end all of stores but I also refuse to pay more than about $40 for shorts because, THEY'RE SHORTS! I was about ready to go home in frustration when I decided to brave the mall. And like manna from heaven, these little treasures were waiting for me. They fit perfectly in the waist without pinching, I can adjust the leg length and they come in about 398 colors. Neon orange, neon pink, "active blue" and lavender currently live with me. Southern turquoise and deep guava may be my next acquisitions. So anyhow, I now feel like I can comfortably brave the summer while at least making some attempt to still have some style.

This little birdy number almost didn't get to live with me. I'm actually quite ashamed that I paid this price for a polyester dress. But it's a dress WITH FLAMINGOS, and dammit, I didn't want to wait for first cut! I also tried on about 10,382 items at Anthro a couple weeks ago and was sorely underwhelmed. I might revisit this weekend now that the Tag Sale is on (although I'm still pretty meh about what I've seen online). There are only 3 (3!3!3!) days of school left and then I get to be a lounge lizard for three months, so really I probably don't need to shop.

I don't feel like anything came out super winning fashion-wise this week. It is that time of year when I'd really be happy just living in shorts and tank tops but I have to get dressed for another week and a half. Trying to look professionalish, be comfortable, and not be HOT is a tall order. But anyhow, the countdown is on...

I wore orange every day this week. Didn't mean to, just kind of happened. I only photoed 2x though. I had a couple bad hair days, mostly due to sleeping in. I picked up Mina last weekend on super sale. Unfortunately no fishy shirt, boo! I may try again this weekend.

Still trying to remix what I own and resist the lure of the mothership. Unsure how much longer I'm going to last though. I'm bored out of my mind with much of what I own and some of the new offerings are intriguing. I'm especially thinking this lovely might be making its way home with me. Depending on how the weekend goes, I will probably at least go do a try-on session.  And, 18 days of school, if anyone is counting...

It's starting to get HOT, but a little bit of chill is still creeping in ( see tights above ). Tomorrow is supposed to be 90. My pasty white legs aren't ready for 90 yet. I also desperately need a pedicure.

p.s. I severely hate the new blogger interface. I'm not good at change.

p.p.s. I realize the skirt in the first pic above seems to contradict my claim to not own a basic black skirt. It is tencel, quite drapey, and OFF-black :)
