Summer fashion

[vanillafluffy]

GK got back to me with the pix she took when she was here last month. God knows I love her dearly, but I sure hope she never has to earn a living at fashion photography or portraiture, cos it is NOT her forte. Out of a half-dozen pix of me, this is the only one that's decent. It was taken on the walkway outside her motel room overlooking the pool.




The top is poly---a bit warm, but cute. The black skirt is my favorite---there's a little ruffle at the hem. The icon is a close-up of the tatt, if you're interested. My shoes are off because we spent the morning haunting Goodwill and my feet were killing me.

sbjb, this one's for you---



I TOLD you it was yellow.
(And that was indoors. In crappy light.)

Skirts, etc., in FLA

Good point. I wonder how I'd fare, living in hotter climes. I don't do shorts, either - haven't the legs for them. We had a heat wave this year and I actually bought some capris.

Seriously, from the time we moved here (when I was 14) until my late 30s, I didn't do shorts. I'd had to wear them---mandatory!---for gym class for years before that, and hated it. I finally got to the point where I said to myself, "Self, who cares how fat your legs are? Roasting in long pants to cover them up---usually long *black* pants---is not going to make them any thinner or you any happier. Be comfortable. Wear shorts." So I did.

Cold weather? Real cold weather? I have become a real Floridian in that respect, IE when the temp goes below 50F, I get very indignant. Although I welcome 65F and below---at that point I can start trotting out things with long sleeves and jackets---I have an absurd number of jackets that may get worn 2-3 times each every year.
