Last Bloom of the Season

Seeing that it's now September, I figured last week might be the last time I could wear these pants this season.

cardi (old), Esprit button-down shirt, H&M pants & bracelet,
Clarks flats (The Bay)

No? Yes? Yes... Eeek, is that a half-tuck I see?!?! I swear that was not done purposely. *pinkie swear* HAH!

Been really busy at work. And actually, kinda' outside work too, with work peeps at that. Well, at least the stuff outside work was fun stuff (translation: having libation hehe).

Friday couldn't have come fast enough... And lookey now, it's September... *sigh*...

Blue and Floral;)

Last night, after work, met some colleagues I haven't seen in a while. For 5 women to get together, it definitely took a bit of an effort. Like someone in the group said, it was like herding cats. Go figure.

Effeti Moda shirt (Winners), H&M pants, AE belt,
Joe Fresh sandals (recent purch)

Let's just say last night's get-together took roughly 50 email correspondences and a few text messages here and there in a span of a month and a half. What was up with that!

But in the end, yes, we finally locked down a date. And what a fun evening!

We met up right after work, so we're talking late afternoon and it just went on and on. It's interesting, to me, that as a group, it was the most unlikely grouping, but with a common experience, the personalities just mesh and the dynamics work for some reason. Unexpected, in a delightful way...

Oh, and these sandals were worn for the first time last night. Let's just say I had to break it in, but for a change I didn't care. I like it, ok. And because I've been on flats for a good while now, I just felt really tall in these babies. Best part, it was only $10! Yay!

;)

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!...

Full(y blossomed) Weekend

Yesterday was a busy day, for sure!

F21 cardi, (old) shirt (Winners), Della Spiga trousers (Costco),
H&M flats, Nygard necklace (Sears)

And it was fabulously sunny too!!! Wheee!!!

So there was my volunteer in the morning. Then, met some friends for dinner. The morning outfit had to be business appropriate. But the afternoon one...

H&M floral pants

HAH!

I swear I would've NEVER bought something like this in the past, but thanks to sis twisting my rubber arms, I ended up getting a pair myself when I bought a pair for her. heehee Thought I'd just give it a dry run, see how I really feel about it.


And, you know what, I actually am liking it! How about that!

Betsey Johnson sunnies (Winners)
(a rare full body shot indeed!:p)

Did I mention how fab the weather was? Got to break out my new sunnies too, on top of that!

You just gotta love a perfect spring weather. It just seems to bring so much promise, doesn't it?... The promise of a new bloom, new beginning... *happy sigh*
