Got Tape!

Happy Monday!  Why am I happy on a back to work Monday?  Because it's the 4 day week of my 9/80 work schedule.  That means I am off this Friday.  But what makes it even sweeter is... next Monday is the 4th of July Holiday.  I get a 4-day weekend.  That's almost a vacation.  I'm curious if anyone takes advantage of a 9/80 work schedule.





I was a surprised at how small my Painted Orchid Belt from Anthro is. At first it appeared to be made for a child.  It wasn't until then, that $50 on sale seemed like too much.  But, when I tried it with the Reflecting Pools Dress, it was LOVE.

I'm not sure if this photo is a blurry, or the Pattern of the Dress looks that way.  Maybe both.  The belt is sagging because my employee badge is hanging off to one side.  Who wasn't completely awake at 6 AM?  Me!

I might have an obsession with Moulinette Seours Silk Slip Dresses?  First the Verdant Slip Dress.  Then the Reflecting Pools Dress.  And finally, last week the Sangatte Slip Dress on sale.  If you placed a bet that I would buy a Fourth should it appear online, you would likely win.

I finally sprung for Tape to hold clothing to skin.  Shop Stick By Me Lingerie Tape HERE.  But before you do, consider this.  If you are going to be outside in the heat don't bother.  It won't stay stuck if you get wet or if you sweat.  And if you have Hot Flashes, it doesn't work to well either.  Ha-ha! It keeps the sides of my sweater stuck to my chest for about an hour. What is the point?

If my shoes look familiar, you just saw them last week with my #1 favorite Anthro Dress HERE.  But what I forgot to show you last week, I remembered to show you today.

No, No Ladies! Not the Love Scratches.  The bows!  Now you want them don't you?  It was Peggy of She Hath Done What She Could that found Miss Albright's Finest Hour Heels for me in her local Anthro Store. Peggy is celebrating her 200th Follower with a give-away.  Please give Peggy my love, and tell her how much I adore the shoes she found for me.

Why am I all smiles?  There was a group of Moms and Kids (about a dozen) running a circut that included the Amphitheater stairs.  I'm surprised I didn't catch any of them in action behind me.  Naturally they were smiling and watching me as they ran.  Who wouldn't stare at a crazy woman right smack dab in the middle of an Amphitheater, taking pictures of herself with a huge camera and tripod.  I would stare too.  They gave me good reason to smile back.

Does anyone else have the pleasure of a 4-day weekend over the holiday?

What are your plans for celebrating the 4th of July. 

for my Canadian, Australian, and European Anthro Sisters, it's Summer!

What do you do on your Summer weekends?

Last Wednesday was an insane 113 degrees F in Good Ole Boy BTown.
