Coral and nude

I keep intending to do the measurement of my perfect skirt length.  I think a slightly shorter skirt looks better on me, but that may well be a figment of my imagination ;-).  Any suggestions or comments in this regard, I'd love to hear your opinion?

I've been making a concerted effort to wear clothes in my wardrobe that I have almost forgotten about.   I love the colour of this top and bought it was before the coral hype.  Its also great for autumn with the 3/4 sleeve.

Its day 13 in the FABruary Style Challenge and I see that I am short of a few posts - not sure I'm going to catch them up though. 

This morning I had a look at a few of the other participants (duh me, still not quite up to speed with Twitter as yet) and want to have a look at a few more.  I added a few to follow in future.

These capris are more mint green in real life than how they appear as blue in this photo.  I'm always amazed at how colours change when photographed.

I'm still super keen on this top and think this is the best its looked thus far. I had originally intended to wear it with these trousers (pictured to the left and which are a little darker than the capris I'm wearing today) but then decided to go with the capris.   I also prefer it styled with the thinner belt than the two previous times as pictured below.

Hope your day is super stylish and fun.

This morning I decided that since my guys are going to site, I'd dress a little casual.  I choose my linen capris (Meltz) and the batwing-ish t-shirt (Legend @ Makro) and the scarf that my sister Lynn gave me as part of my Christmas present (Pick 'n Pay) and my trust nude wedges (ShoeCity) and my necklace that Taryn gifts me and for the life of me I can't remember where its from, but Charlie something rings a bell (its from State side) so please forgive me.  My watch is a Christmas gift to myself last December and its a Fossil and the ring came from a little tourist store in Graskop and was bought for me by Schatz last year.

We had the most awe inspiring storm last night.  When I was brushing my teeth, lighting came crackling through the sky and as I looked out the window down onto the Klipriver Drive and Bellairs intersection, it hit the lights and that led to sparks flying all over and the traffic lights then went dead.  It was scary and makes your heart beat faster ... poor little Marshy was rather flustered and Tequila was panting heavily and underfoot as she gets highly stressed with storms and fireworks.

Schatz said he was woken a few times after that by the power going out ... lucky for me, I slept through it.

This look is inspired in part by this picture off of Pinterest.  I have planned to replicate it again however, not with shorts but trousers.

I do so love the fabric of this skirt.  Its a stretchy t-shirt knit and just sits like a pj on me.  Possibly not a good thing, but it doesn't ride, doesn't dig, doesn't turn around or any crazy stuff.  I wish all my skirts were this comfortable. 

I'm having a little bloggers block this evening so I'm going to run along and get some things knocked off of my 'to do' list.

Hope your Tuesday was great.

Schatz was still half asleep and shaky when he tooks my pics this morning, so apologies for the bluriness of the pic.  I am feeling in the holiday/weekend spirit so decided to wear my capris.  I find this top to be happy - the colour and the print just looks happy and I enjoy feeling happy.

Last night was our monthly Sistas Dinner.  With it being December, we gave out Christmas gifts.  I got such gorgeous gifts.  I'm hoping to get photos from my sisters soon to share.

Norma gave us each a little wooden crate filled with yummy goodies like biscuits and sweeties as well as a three piece cake set.  Its quite different and definitely gorgeous.

Noleen gave us each a wall hanging with a poem on it and a gorgeous clock.

Lynn gave us a note book (mine has an image of the Eiffel Tower on it), scarf, sweeties and hand cream.

I gave Noleen and Lynn each a pendant and for Norma I got a bracelet and I added in a little Christmas fruitcake and a minature candycane.  I also brought Christmas Crackers for us to share.  I always enjoy watching the other patrons faces ... as curious as they are about what we're getting up to as curious as I am about them :-).

While I was out to dinner I got a message from home saying that our young cat was missing.  Schatz and the kids searched the closets and he went around the garden with a torch, but she was nowhere to be found.  Luckily this morning the neighbours domestic told our Felicia that they had taken her to the SPCA - she's home safe and sound but she's such a little adventurer we're going to have to keep a close eye on her.  She's also due to be 'fixed', so we'd best get that done soonest ... however cute a little litter of kittens would be, I so don't want to fall in love with even more animals.

I guess as I need now is a Santa bag and I could look like a southern hemisphere Santa helper :0).

Happy day to you

Its a wonderful, wonderful day ... today is my Friday!  I decided to take tomorrow off to get some things done, namely, visit the doctor and have some blood tests done (finally), collect my boys school reports, visit the hairdresser and then help with the moving and packing back of furniture as the carpets are being cleaned tomorrow - yippee!!

I thought I'd dress more in my Friday style of clothing so that I can get in the weekend mode.

Hope your day is fabulous!

Red 'n white .. looks so right

My mother was wearing a similar top a few backs and I asked her to get me one as well.  I quite like the 'necklace' design as theres no need to add a necklace.

I momentarily forgot about these shoes as I was wondering which shoes to wear, then remembered these.  I do so love the playfulness of the polka dots.

For Courteney and Jarod school holidays have already started and Courteney, who has been finished for over two weeks is so bored.  I wish she had a holiday job to keep herself a little busy, but before we know it, their dad will be here and they'll be off on a summer holiday.

Although Liam is going to school, their exams are finished and they're sitting around a little bored, watching movies and cleaning desks. 

I have 13 days of work until I'm on leave and I so can't wait ... sleep late ... lay in the sun ... drink and eat and just enjoy and relax ... sigh!

Hope your Tuesday is Teriffic!
