End of Summer? Booh!

It's in the air, I can feel it. Nooo!!!

Well, it is the end of August after all, isn't it? Nevertheless, it still feels a lil weird, while getting for work this morning for example, feeling the slight crispness in the air. But hey, it's still summer as far as I'm concerned. It ain't over til it's over...

This slight change in the weather, it's almost fitting, I suppose, coinciding with the (slight) change at work for me. Just like summer kinda' leaving us now, I'm also kinda' leaving (or just did) my current office/position temporarily. Seasons change...

And of course, first day away from my office, announcements were made for some major change ahead for the office. Cray cray!

Yes, changes, that's what it's all about...

Is Dot You?

Today was a day of celebration, congratulation,... and (sorta) goodbye. After work, the office celebrated 2 birthdays, also congratulated one of the birthday celebrant for getting her degree, and strangely enough, said a (sorta) goodbye, for me. Yes, me!

As the day wore on today, it occurred to me that I will not see my peeps at the office for a good while. It's because I learned mid-week that I have a new responsibility which in essence means I will be working with a different group of people and office, starting next week.

Honestly, it hasn't quite sunk in yet, that knowledge that I'll be away from the office for a while. I am quite excited as this is an excellent new opportunity for me. At the same time, if it's not quite obvious at this point, I  work with an excellent group of generous, hard-working, supportive and fun people that it'll be weird being pulled away from such an environment. But such is life, eh? Constant flux of change, for sure...

Anyhoot, today is another scorcher. The top that I wore is a recent purchase which I really like. It's got dots after all! I did forget, however, that it is of polyester material. And guess what happens when you wear a synthetic material on a hot day? Yup... But hey, I still really like it hehe...

Flower Power

When I heard that rain might be coming back sooner than the Weather Network originally predicted, I felt the urge all of a sudden to wear these pants.

jacket and shirt (old!), Tiffany necklace (gift), H&M pants,
Gap belt, Clarks flats (The Bay)

HAH!

Needless to say, the pants got a lot of attention today. Good attention, thank god. At least, that's what they say to my face. I'll settle for that. hehe

I was supposed to meet some colleagues for dinner tonight but the plan got cancelled. Kinda' glad coz I'm a lil pooped. So what did I do? Stayed later at work, that's what!

Danier tote, scarf (no name)

Hump day, thank god!...

Match-y, Match-y

I guess having the nice weather over the weekend was more than we can ask for this time of the year. As if right on cue, it was glum the first day back to work. *pout*

AE button-down, Gaultier jeans & Elise M belt (Winners),
H&M flats

I felt, deep in my bones(?), that I just gotta' wear colors today. I just couldn't bring myself to grab the drab colors out of my closet. Nope. Especially knowing that the rain will be coming back starting tomorrow.

Somehow, even though it's not the smartest thing, my sartorial brain feels like it's had enough of winter stuff. Somehow, it just feels wrong to even look at the sweaters and tights and layers.

Oh, I know I'm just deluding myself. One of these days, the temp's probably gonna dip a few more times and I'd just automatically reach for those warm cozy winter stuff. Bah!

BR trench

See, I couldn't even bring myself to put on a winter coat. Is it just me? It's as if my brain has reached a winter saturation point. Hmmm...

(The Bay)

I realized you're not really supposed to match things anymore. And I know I do, today. And things're supposed to just go with each other. But I couldn't help it, ok! heehee 


I thought the shirt had so much going on with it already, I thought I'd just pull colors from it. Granted I only really pulled a couple of colors, which are the most dominant ones to begin with. Meh...

Tiffany necklace (going-away gift, many moons ago)

There, I toned it down with the necklace. Believe me, I probably could have repeated the violet and orange combo in my neckwear too. HAH!
