Hello Summer...

And Hello July aka my Birthday month.

I feel like I am 10 when I say that but every time July comes, I think of it as my birthday month. Although I also need to share my birthday month with America’s Birthday (July 4th) I don’t mind. Hahaha.

Anyways, summer is officially here and it’s been HOT!!!! 95 + degrees hot, humid hot, and just plain HOTTTTT!!!! Today I decided to wear this new pencil skirt I recently purchased at, *drum roll*, Forever 21! WHATTT!!!! Hahaha. I honestly haven’t been inside that store in probably a year. I find their clothes disposable. As soon as I throw the clothes in the washing machine, something happens to it. I rather spend a little more at other stores for a better quality. But recently, I saw this skirt on a girl and asked her where she got it. To my surprise it was Forever 21. I don’t know if they have changed the quality of their clothing, but this skirt definitely didn’t seem Forever 21-ish (you like my new word? Hahaha). The quality is actually very good and its not see-through! I am very happy with my purchase. Maybe now I will look into Forever 21 a little bit more.

Well hope you are having a wonderful week! Stay cool out there!

Xoxo,

Lisa

The unthinkable...

Just happen. Yes, this is me dressed casual. I know to some dressing in shorts and t-shirts is comfortable and their way of dressing, but for me, I much prefer dressing in dresses and pretty heels. But since I am headed to the country club, I decided to dress in something more appropriate for the day. Also, I believe this is the first time I have posted pictures of me in flats! Double shocker!

Don’t think that this is going to be an everyday thing. Trust me I have my cute dresses and skirts waiting for me. Hahaha.

Well hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Remember to drink lots of water! Its officially summer and the weather is hot everywhere, (and humid for some parts). So drink your water and put on some sunblock!

Jean Shirt and Full Skirt..

 

Kind of day. And I am grateful I wore these pieces because it was warm!

I know I have mention this before in some old blog post, but I love jean shirts. I find them so practical for warm weather as well as cold weather. You can dress them up or dress them down. They can be used as a shirt, or a layer. I absolutely love them! Recently I paired the jean shirt with some black pants, but today I decided to pair it with a full skirt. The combination reminds me of a uniform of some sort, but I can’t figure out it out.

Also, you might have noticed that I am wearing my hair up in a bun. Shocking, I know! I hardly do this, I think because I find my hair to be my security blanket. Also, I have A LOT of hair that when I do put my hair in a bun, it gives me a headache because it can get heavy. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if you have a lot of hair and its long, you understand what I am saying.

With that said, I am excited about this weekend. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s by Saturday. After spending most of winter in a cold snowy city, I have come to appreciate any kind of warmth. Being from Southern California, you tend to forget how lucky you really to have warm weather 95% of the time.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. For those of you who didn’t work on Monday (I hope you took some time to thank and remember those who gave up their lives for this beautiful country) because of Memorial Day, hope you are having a wonderful short week.

Xoxo,

P.s. Ignore my un-manicured hands and also the length of the nails. As you know I am big sports fan, and my team the LA Kings (Hockey Team) is in the playoffs which means, I am biting my nails like crazy. I know disgusting but I can’t help it. Any tips on how to stop?

The weekend is...

Officially here, and we should all head out to the country club!

What better way to start off the weekend by having wonderful weather like the one I am currently enjoying where I live. I went from complaining it was too hot on Monday, to loving the weather by the end of the week. Where’s my drink!? Hahaha

Since it’s warm enough to wear light clothing but gets a little chilly after 5p.m., I decided to wear pants. I am not really a pants kind of gal, but I do wear them because I easily get cold. I bought these H/M Pants a couple of years back, and although you can’t really see the details, they are floral. (“Flowers for spring, groundbreaking!” From which movie is this quote from?). I know many can be intimidated by prints on pants, especially if you are older than 21, but there are many pants that women of all ages can wear. Just stick with prints that are subtle. Don’t go for those crazy leopard prints that scream “I took these from my teenage sister or daughter”.

Well hope you have a wonderful weekend. Whatever you decided to do, please be careful and stay safe!

Another beautiful...

 

 

 

Summer Spring Day!

Today the temperature is over 95 degrees. And although it feels more like summer than spring, I am loving every moment of it. Sure, I didn’t love it yesterday while at work with the broken air conditioner but today the air conditioner is working and I’ve been able to step outside to enjoy the sun for a bit.

Have you notice that when the sun is out, people seem nicer and friendlier? I guess those rays do help people’s moods.

Anyways, since it’s been crazy hot, and I thought the A/C wasn’t going to work, I decided to wear this light weight dress. It might not be an appropriate corporate environment dress, but when do I ever wear things that are appropriate to work. Sure, I don’t wear “club” clothes, but I find the typical corporate dress code BORING! And what’s the worse than can happen? Send me home! OK! I’ll go home and enjoy this weather! Hahaha. Jk!

Hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday. Don’t worry, we are closer to the weekend :)

Indian Summer....

has really hit us this year and I am enjoying every moment of it. While in most places it is starting to cool down, where I live it still feels like summer. I am not a sweater kind of gal and I am easily cold, so this heat wave has been delightful for me. There are so many bloggers already wearing sweaters, scrarves and warm outfits while I am here wearing the lightest dress I can possibly find.

I must admit, its been a challenge trying to find outfits that are appropriate for work but cool enough for this weather. I know all good things come to and end sooner or later, so please don't mind me and my light summer like outfits.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

xoxo,

Lisa
