Friday night I got home and realized I spilled on my dress, so I switched to the dress that arrived in the mail – the “Kate” dress from J. Crew in “Flame.” This is a bright orange-red that I adore. On sale and with a coupon so the dress was a cheap as Old Navy. Score! Same accessories.
Attended a circle of women in my community which was really wonderful. Met some new people, connected closer with those I already knew, had some of the BEST watermelon of the season!
Saturday… for the life of me I cannot remember Saturday. Oh yes, yoga, then lunch with my mom, then ran errands. I came home and tried out some of the camping supplies for our upcoming trip to Bonnaroo, waterproofed my Duo boots, took a nap, went out to dinner… nothing terribly exciting and no pictures.
Sunday began with errands and then yoga.

We had a great time, saw lots of friends, played with their son who just turned 1, chilled on the beach and grilled for dinner. Got a bit of sun even though I put on the SPF 30.

The best accessory I acquired in the past decade was getting out of credit card debt. My Experience: When I worked in retail, I found it far too easy to shop. I was spending at least 45, usually closer to 65 hours a week at a mall. Lunch hours were spent strolling through other shops,…

Fall is here… and my wardrobe is not ready. Most everything I wore this time last year no longer fits. Since working out on a regular basis I haven’t lost a ton of weight (less than 15 pounds) but building muscle has drastically changed the size and shape of my body. It’s not just my…

Friday I worked from home, Saturday I went out and Sunday… well just wanted to share a typical Sunday look. How I dress when not at work… Friday: My feet and my baby at the playground I worked from home, but that didn’t mean I lounged around in yoga pants and an old tee shirt….
LOVE that dress with those sandals. What a fantastic color, reminds me of that long ago blood orange Mizrahi sweater at Target.
