High-low hem

I'm linking up with Patti over at Not Dead Yet Style for her Invisible Monday - I think these gorgeous new sandals are super 'un-invisible'.

 

I did no preparation for this weeks outfits, much less did I even think about them this weekend.  So, this morning, I opened the wardrobe and one of the first items I saw was this high low hemmed dress.  Hmmmm thought I, I can wear it with my new shoes and this little short sleeved jacket.  It was so hot this weekend, I was convinced our offices would be like saunas today.  However, without a jacket, this dress is not quite office appropriate.  Since I work in a very relaxed environment, with people slopping around the building in really tatty jeans, I could probably get away without a jacket, but I'd feel super uncomfortable the entire day.

Bronx shoes 

I previously wore this dress while the weather was a little cooler with a long sleeved jacket and red court heels.  I quite like it with the blue though, but black and red is always hot in my opinion.

This is proving to be an interesting work week already and I have taped my little '5 Ways to be happier at work' as received from Jon Gordon at the bottom of my screen to remind myself to be positive

1. Monday - To focus on what I 'get to do' instead of 'have to'.
2. Tuesday - Don't expect my boss and co workers to make me happy (I already know that - but it's a good reminder all the same)
3.  Wednesday - Don't seek happiness - share strenghts, decide to work with passion & purpose.
4.  Thursday - Focus on excellence instead of success.
5.  Friday - Celebrate together - build a positive team/support group.

Hope your week has started off well ... what all do you get to do this week?  Enjoy

Blogger inspiration ... denim and red ... thanks Bessie

On Tuesday evening as I was hopping around the blogs reading and enjoy all the gorgeous stylish ladies, I visited Bessie and saw this outfit.  Ah, the light bulb went off, I can create this outfit without a problem.  Only thing, I don't have such a thick belt, so I went with my snakeskin belt and shoes.  Since it's Spring here, I did not wear hose.   I added my royal blue set of bracelets bought a couple weeks back - I am so smitten with this colour at the moment.

The usual photo bomber ... she loves posing

Tiara tantrums

 

On my way home from work, I stopped at a Costume Store in the hope that they'd have the goodies Miss Boo has requested for her birthday - at her school, the birthday girl wears a tiara, sash and a bunny tail ... well, I found a little tiara but none of the items she's asking for. 

Drama boy

 

Then I grabbed Liam and he's so dramatic, you'd think I were shaving his hair off ... silly boy.

 

I can't wait for my hairdresser to get back to work.  I'm desperate for a cut.  I could not get time before she went on leave and now it feels like its been months.  Its one of those strange things in life, one day your hair is fine, suddenly the next the style just seems to leave.  I'll never understand it. 

 

Hope your Thursday was fabulous.

I love the colours of this outfit ... naturally I'd not wear denim shorts, but I like the look of this outfit and the shade of blue is divine ... I'm adding a blue scarf to my wish list.
