What to wear to a weekend lunch...

I'm sitting at my desk right now trying to decide if I want to go out and get a coffee.  The dilemma is this: its rather cool out this morning, and I didn't bring a jacket.  Yes, my mother taught me to never leave home without one, but I thought I had one in my car already, and apparently I was mistaken. It's not like it's freezing outside, or a long walk to the coffee shop, and obviously the coffee would warm me, but I'm just really comfortable right now, temp-wise, and I'm weighing how good the latte the latte will taste with losing my comfortable feeling right now.  This is majorly a first world problem.  Just keepin' it light for a Monday. ;)

Friday Favorites - Easter Dresses under $100

Friday Favorites - Easter Dresses under $100

Easter is a little over a week away, and while the point of the holiday is obviously to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus,  I have to admit I always look forward to getting a new Easter dress.  I remember as a kid it was a fun day when Mom would say we were going Easter dress shopping.  And how excited I would be to wake up on Easter morning and put on my pretty new dress that had been hanging in my closet untouched awaiting this day (after scoping out what the Easter bunny left us in our baskets, of course. ;) )  Easter dresses to me are floral and colorful and something you feel feminine and pretty in.

Classic Blue and White

Classic Blue and White

The perfect off-shoulder top, and how to wear culottes.

So did anyone have any bloopers with the time change this past weekend?  You know they made daylight savings time on the weekend because so many people would be late (or early, depending on Spring or Fall) if it was a weekday.  I'm not a fan of losing an hour of sleep, but I do like having more light left in the day when I get off work.  My husband actually works on the weekends, and he set his clock ahead before going to sleep on Saturday night not knowing that his clock had an auto-adjust for DST, and his alarm went off at 4a instead of 5a.  That makes losing an hour even worse!

Pleated Maxi

A classy maxi dress with just a peek of skin.

You have to admit if you like clothes, it's more fun being a woman than a man. (Makes me think of that song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song": I Enjoy Being a Girl.  Hear it below. Beware, it's catchy.) We have so many options.  Men can chose from what? Shirts (long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless) and pants (long and shorts, and a few can pull off cropped pants, LOL.)  But we get all of the above, plus dresses and skirts of varying lengths and cuts and styles.  There are so many variations when it comes to dresses.

What to Wear When it's Summer Weather in the Winter

Happy Washington's Birthday,  National Margarita Day and Full Moon!  Who knew February 22 was such a party day? LOL  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was busy but good. Quality time with loved ones always makes the days good, regardless of the activities.  For some reason my son woke up at 5:45a on Saturday morning (then slept in until 6:45 today, go figure) so my weekend started early.  We got out of the house early to get the car washed (our car came with free car washes for life when we bought it a little over a year ago) only to find out that the dealer has cancelled that perk due to the California drought.
