Hoooooraayyyy for four-day weeks (especially when they are payday weeks!)! Work just seems so much easier to get through when the week is only four days. Why is that? I vote we have three day weekends every week--that would please me.

(tunic: tjmaxx; scarf: f21; socks: uo; shoes: seychelles; sunglasses: vintage)

I would like everyone to make a mental note re: this outfit. I am wearing denim shorts underneath. This is a big step for me, because I am usually length-blind and don't really realize how inappropriate it is to wear clothes that barely cover my bum (I blame short-person-itis, an unfortunate handicap that forces me to go to extreme measures to make my legs look longer--and me taller). Anyway, I decided that this tunic just plain too short. I think this means I might be a grown-up? I certainly didn't let the length faze me when I wore it this time. Annnnd now I wish I had belted it. C'est la vie.

I got a little bit of work done on my screenplay last night, and I got to sit at my new (to me--it belonged to my grandmother) desk in our recently rearranged bedroom. I think it was good feng shui that facilitated the flow of words onto the page (or maybe it was that glass of wine...). It also probably helps that the screenplay takes place in Vermont in the summertime, and Summer has certainly shown her face around these parts lately so it was absolutely the right kind of atmosphere. (Annnnd the fan currently resides in the bedroom, so it's the only room in the house that is inhabitable at this point.)

  1. Adorable :D The socks are cute.

    It is kinda short...but with shorts underneath it's probably fine. I have a shirt that looks nearly exactly like your dress. but it's a shirt.

    You're awesome!

  2. I love it! The socks are by far my favorite thing about this, but the entire looks is just so darn cute, you pull it off well!!! I would probably just look like a tarte if I tried to wear those socks, but I might try something along those lines anyhow. Tartes be damned!

  3. I love the whole look, especially where you are wearing sunnies, totally gorgeous. I also love your hair, it makes me miss my long hair so much.

  4. I am soooo in love with this look, that chambray tunic is so awesome with your colourful scarf and knee highs. Sooo cute, and the length is good unless you ever have to bend over...or a gust of wind comes about, so denim shorts underneath is a wise choice haha.

  5. I was going to say, I'm amazed you can wear that to work! And on me that might well be a shirt, one reason I've never much liked tunics on myself.

    Anyway, whatever the motivation, I'm glad the words were flowing for you. I hope this beer aids in my own flow of words tonight, but I can kind of feel it putting me to sleep already...

  8. Yay for three day weekends, I agree! :)

    You look lovely! I wish I had the legs to wear overknee socks like you do, they look adorable! Cute scarf too! Have a nice long weekend ;)

  9. I love your outfit!! I have short person-itis too, and sometimes don't realize how short something is until I'm already out of the house and the wind starts blowing lol ;-)

  10. You look great, and the details in this outfit just make it so much more fun! I have definitely walked around with inappropriately short tunics and dresses before (when I was younger and didn't really care) And wearing the same things now I cringe at that fact!

    ps. Yay for getting some writing done! I'm gonna try and do that myself :) (easier said than done!)
