I don't do summer....WELL....

Since Joni complained yesterday, I thought it was my turn...

Ah, Summer.

While most people are breaking out their bikinis and popping hot-dogs on the grill, I will be inside, head drooped over the AC. I don't enjoy heat - unless I'm near the ocean. Summer to me is a time of sweat, oceans of plain (non-layered) clothes, flat hair and plump white fleshy arms. Wringing my boobs out ever 10 minutes and peering down my cleavage as the sweat disappears who-knows-where...

Black becomes an enemy, and you know I LOVE black.

But, as most style-minded folks do, I try. I try and try to work a long-sleeved top while keeping 'the girls' in a supportive bra - Without dying. I wear my floppy hats and big sunnies. I am always tempted to throw caution to the wind, pitch the sunscreen and just get a damn tan. 

Sunscreen is also very HOT. 

However, as a +40 woman who overexposed herself in the 70's, I resist.

Here is my attempt to layer in the heat. I know most will disagree with my lack-luster view 
of summer, so I'm finished bitching. BUT - the next time you hear the hot-dogs sizzling, 
think of me...sizzle...sizzle...sizzle...

In it's defense,

There are a few upsides to summer, however. 

Sunglasses, soft maxi dresses, up-do's, fun nail polish and funky sandals!
Hummingbirds, the smell of freshly mown grass, and roses.

And, of course, vacations to the beach.
Every year, around this time, I consider moving to Seattle.
I wonder if Bella has a two bedroom?

I wonder how many sunnies I can collect this summer?

As the sexy Sarah might say:
"Summer, I want a divorce."

Make You Own Scarf Tunic!

I have always had a fondness for sarongs and scarves. Since I have so many, it's fun to play with them, especially when I come up with a new way to wear one. This scarf was on sale at Dot's for $7 bucks. It is very sheer and about 4 feet wide when pulled loose. I can even wear it as a skirt! 

HOW:

Start from behind - Wrap it around your chest, gather top of scarf at front of neck, twist, tie and wrap around your neck - Tie. Then tie a small knot at the bottom front to pull it in a bit.(I hope that made sense). Wa-La! A new, fresh and frugal summer top. A short sarong would work, too. It's super easy and under 8 bucks! It's also a great look with a tee or without. I prefer the tee for bra strap coverage ;)

Here's to a creative week!
