Rorschach Floral

Lovely blogger friend, Megan Mae, wore a wonderful watercolor floral blouse the other day and it reminded me that I had a watercolor floral blouse of my own somewhere deep in the recesses of my closet.  Found it.  Wore it:

Wore it, in fact, with a vintage blazer, gray skinnies and black heels.

Interestingly enough, this outfit is a pretty fair representation of our weather lately.  It was gorgeous for about a week, so our trees are blooming in pink and white, like my blazer and the background of the blouse.  But, the past few days it's been raining and gray like the flowers and the skinnies.

Of course, now that I look at it in photos, I think maybe they look less like flowers and a bit like Rorschach prints.  So we'll call it a Rorschach floral.

Happy Monday, Everyone!

When Squirrels Attack

Yesterday, I was outside taking my pictures, when I was attacked by this squirrel:

That’s right, that little beady-eyed, venom-fanged menace tried to kill me.

He snuck up on me along the retaining wall, and when I screamed and ran away, he rushed me:

If you look closely, you can see the shank he has hidden in his tail.

Witnesses believe I was targeted because the squirrel didn’t like my outfit: 

I think that’s ridiculous because my outfit was awesome, but maybe he didn’t like the combination of burgundy cords (Banana Republic, here), lemon yellow sweater (Gap, here) and cherry red belt (Macys, similar here).  Or maybe he hates houndstooth (Old Navy via Goodwill, similar here). 

Whatever the reason for the attack, I think we can all agree that the squirrel is a menace to society and needs to be stopped.  

So, please take a good look at that horrifying face of evil, and if you see that razor-clawed ninja squirrel, please perform a citizen’s arrest.  We must keep the world safe for the children.  But, be careful.  He’s both fluffy and dangerous.

Happy Thursday, All!

Yes, No, Yes

Yes, my dress is sheer.  No, I’m not entirely certain it’s work-appropriate.  Yes, I wore it to work anyway:

And I loved it.  Sheerness be damned, I think this dress is fabulous.  It is, admittedly, probably more of a party dress than a work dress, but the only party I have coming up is a 90s party and this dress is from the 70s.  Besides which, I wanted to wear it now, not later, so I wore it to work.  I'm not a complete dress code rebel though, so I did wear the dress (vintage Lady Blair) layered over a navy blue slip.  I also added a black patent belt (Steve Madden via Ross) and black patent mini-wedges (Seychelles).

I guess this probably isn't the most versatile dress in my closet, given that its a sheer 70s party dress, but it will definitely remain in my closet.  And I will wear this dress again.  There is just no way in heck am I getting rid of this one.

Happy Monday, All!
