maxi dress (Winners); denim blazer (Winners); bracelets (don't remember)

Please excuse the look on my face. It was after a very long day and I was pooped!

I bought these wonderful maxi dresses last year (after discovering a few super flattering ones when I had thought that this was a trend I was going to have to pass on) and then noticed a few bloggers teaming them with a jacket to make them work-appropriate. Good job ladies!!

Great shoes, eh?? Ha! I teamed this get-up with some muted silver flats.

It was a perfect outfit for work and then super comfortable enough for me to wear to an outing at a museum.

Have a fabulous weekend!!

and all that jazz!

I am going to see CHICAGO!!!!! The Play. The one that I star in in my dreams at night.

I am beyond excited. I nearly teared up when I got the tickets. You see...I had just told myself I wouldn't go and see it as I am trying really hard to save money. Then, a dear friend surprised me with 2 tickets to the show. I seriously sat teary-eyed at the gesture and at the excitement!

If you've read any of my blog, you'd know I am obsessed with rock...but just as crazy about Broadway!

Granted my posts have been a little sparse lately but I have been travelling for work (Quebec City where you all NEED to visit) and it's been event after event after event after event. This Saturday is the culmination of all events and then it's a little quiet for about a month.

Just in time for the manfriend to go on his European jaunt leaving me to actually rest. Poolside is my preference.

Hope you all can put a little jazz in your step today!

*hugs*

oh, happy day!

This is a happy day! We just completed another successful Telethon and raised $6.175 million dollars! I am a happy camper. My boss is a happy camper. And many kids will be happy campers too.

Since it's a bit of a lazy hazy hokey pokey kinda day...jeans and a turtleneck it was for me. My go-to outfit, plus, it's chilly here!! It's June 1 and chilly!

It was a fantastic working weekend! Who knew those words would ever be seen together in a sentence, eh??

June is going to be a busy one too...we have a 5K walk to organize, our Teddy Bears' Picnic at the end of the month and I'm gone to Quebec City on a business trip for a week! I've already started thinking about what to pack and bring. There will be 3 business meetings and then 3 nights out. Not including the flight there and flight back outfits. I am looking forward to it though! I've never been there and we're staying in a castle! Love.

Happy Monday!

I'm in mid-arm-toning season so wearing sleeveless tops doesn't always sit that well with me. Funny thing - I bought 2 sleeveless wrap tops this past weekend. How do I get around this dilemma? In the past I wouldn't have bought them or would have let them sit in my closet. Now, thanks to the fashion blog world, I layer like a pro and have gotten so much more use out of my closet. With the top ensemble I've got sporting today - I found 2 skirts that would look awesome with it - making summer dressing a much easier task than I anticipated.

My favourite season is fall. I love fall clothes - the excitement of back-to-school shopping (even though I'm done school!) Summer has always been the exact opposite. I feel like my pasty white flabby parts are overexposed. I have since learned to love linen and dresses and skirts and pedicures and deal with short sleeves and -gasp- even go sleeveless sometimes! I've especially had to embrace the summer since I'll be in Greece for some of it and it won't be sweater weather.

Tomorrow is one of our Radiothons. It's the local country station that runs it and country music by its very nature is sadder than normal. Even for an upbeat song! So it lends itself well to children's stories. They are long days for me. Up at 3:00 a.m. and in bed around 10:00 p.m....only to do it over again for 3 days. Needless to say, I will be setting up my outfits for the next 3 days tonight. Talk about good preparation!
