Another client meeting on Tuesday. I had about a two hour drive to and from my meeting so I wanted something comfortable and warm for the trip.

Funny story about these pants. I bought them about three weeks ago when it was still pretty warm. I just hung them in the closet until the weather was a little more appropriate for heavy tweed. Then I completely forgot about them. Until last weekend, when I bought the exact same pants again. I only realized it when I got home and went to hang them next to my other new pants - the exact same pair! Apparently I really like these pants. HA!

Dress: The Limited

Shoes: Baker's Shoes

Necklace: Amy Cornwell Designs

It was finally just a teeny, tiny bit cooler today - in the eighties instead of well into the nineties - but I took full advantage of it and busted out my transition-to-fall shoes. I absolutely love these shoes: suede! hardware! straps! And they are actually comfortable, no lie.

Know what else is comfortable? This dress. 100% cotton - it's like wearing pajamas to work. Except with bling. Because, you know, who doesn't want bling on their pajamas work clothes?

I have a very bad habit of always buying shoes in black. A pair will catch my eye in red, or blue, or buttery caramel, but the moment I find out they're available in black - it's over. No matter how much I like the red/blue/whatever, the practical part of me says I'll wear them way more often in black.

Which, of course, is completely not true. I own about 15 pairs of black shoes which means I wear each pair less often than all my other shoes.

These lovelies were no different. They first caught my eye in taupe, but as soon as I saw them in black, I knew the black ones were coming home with me. Lucky for me, when I went back to the store recently, the taupe ones were on sale for $15. So those came home with me too. :)

Anyone else wondering how the heck it got to be the end of July already? I could have sworn it was just July 4th! The summer has just flown by. Not that I'm complaining, though - I'm pretty well over summer. Bring on Autumn and cooler temperatures!

I've been wearing dresses and skirts nearly every day, simply because it's too hot to wear anything else. But my laziness got the best of me this morning and I forgot to shave my legs, which of course, meant I had to wear pants.

I probably would have been fine, except I decided to walk the two blocks to the mall at lunch. By the time I made it back to work, I could have passed out from heat exhaustion. Probably the only reason I didn't is because my hair had soaked up so much humidity it was impossible to be dehydrated. Blech.

Consider this girl schooled. Lesson learned: No more pants until it hits at least 75 degrees again.
