The Summer Blahs

It's pretty early to be sick of summer, here. August sucks in so many ways; thank goodness it's nearly over. But the heat will continue.
So I give up. Uncle.
UNCLE!!!


It is taking every bit of discipline I have not to yearn for fall. I admit I'm tired of all the screaming bright color of summer, and am longing for some cool weather thinking. So even though I've stopped trying to be all happy-clappy about the super-heated misery of summer, I persevere with the wardrobe re-mix project.


It's turning out to be less fun than I hoped it might be. There is still plenty to mix up, but new combinations are not necessarily better combinations. The more pairings I consider, the more I'm pretty sure I was right the first time. The good news is that although every new combo won't be a winner, they are options. Options are good.

I usually wear a peplum with a pencil skirt, and

haven't worn them with a necklace.

Another way to get some wear out of

these this summer ... 

I like wearing the mid-height heel, and

these I bought for fall.  (That's my story and

I'm sticking to it.)

I'm cheering myself up by joining the Often Colorful and Sometimes Casual Patti at her Playdate for Grown-Up Girls and Boys, Visible Monday !
