OOTD-The Case of the Meltdown

Before I begin today's post, I just want to say thank you to all of my wonderful readers who left congrats in the previous post. It truly warmed my heart and put a smile on my face.
Yes, he put a ring on it!!!



We're just going to ignore those pesky straps. This is real-life picture action here!



Time for Angry Birds!!


I have a propensity for wearing this striped top with a pink skirt (see here). I can't help it, I love the combination!! The weather guy said that it would be close to 100 degrees today and all I thought of was flowy and light. This little swingy skirt definitely fit the bill, but it didn't keep me from melting into a slight puddle of sweat while taking these pictures this evening. I'm thinking tomorrow calls for wearing a bikini to work. Do you think I'll get a pass for inappropriate workwear? If I am sent home, I can just go across the street to the high-rise with the rooftop pool. Can you believe I get teased with that kind of view everyday in the summer?? It's almost enough to make me cry.

Do you have a strategy for getting dressed in the hotness or do you start to not care as much when the temperatures are unbearable?

  1. Congratulations!!!! Now I'll go to bed with Beyonce singing "Uh oh oh uh oh oh oh oh, All my single ladies!" Hopefully I'll have a happy dream for such an upbeat song.
    I love your shoes! How about a close-up? If you find a formula that works for you, then wear it, as you're doing so well here.
