I hope y'all have had a fabulous weekend. It's still hot here in South Florida, so I'm really struggling with "What to Wear"! I can't help myself...to me, October means turtlenecks and vests and loafers and all those cute autumn clothes. So even though it's still 85 degrees here in South Florida, I'm gonna wear October clothes!
Earlier in the week we had dinner at a marina. We dined outside and it was nice and breezy near the water...I think I could have worn a turtleneck!

"Here's What I Wore" The khaki skirt is from Target, the pink gingham blouse is by Izod, the green vest is by Lilly. I carried my pink monogrammed Land's End tote {like I owned a yacht} and wore my pink Revas.
I really didn't get out much during the week...spent most of the time cleaning out the boxes in my garage. Our neighborhood is hosting a garage sale soon and I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff. I MUST downsize the loot out there. It's a bit messy as I went through every single box!
This is "my side of the garage...I've never parked my car in there!
I have also begun to take over husband's side of the garage. Poor thing, he can hardly get his little car in his space now days.
I wish I could show y'all the "after" photos, but until the get rid of the stuff, it's still crowded. Neat. But crowded.
In the evenings..."Merlot Hour" helped after my hard days of labor.
If y'all remember, last week I prepared the chicken spaghetti casseroles and sent over an extra one to my friend Lane. Well, she returned my dish...in the Southern style. In the South, when someone gives a gift of food, it is considered proper Southern etiquette to reciprocate with a treat when you return the empty dish. Lord have mercy, she returned my dish with Cuban French Toast. It was about 9 o'clock at night when her husband delivered this delicacy to us. I just had to taste some of it. Decadent I tell y'all! I need to stay in the gym much longer after this.
I love this Cuban sweet, for sure!
It is important that you practice thank-you etiquette. Last week I was speaking to my friend Miss Kara who lives in Mississippi. Kara had just had major surgery and she mentioned that the ladies from her church were bringing over supper. With everything else she had on her mind, she said "I must remember to place a treat in the empty dishes when I return them!" Bless you Miss Kara...you are so Southern!
Today it was another 85 degree day, so I wore this Austin Reed blazer, blouse, and skirt to church. Thank goodness they keep the sanctuary real chilly...so I was comfortable. After a quick lunch at Panera, I'm home preparing a meal and treats for a supper party.
Just so y'all know, my skirt is ivory NOT white! Y'all know I'd never wear white after Labor Day. 'Course, I do think I'm the only female in Florida who follows this rule. Lord have mercy.
As usual, I adore your outfits, Miss Janice!
ReplyDeleteMiss Janice, in Florida we are allowed to wear white until Thanksgiving. The fashion police have given us an exemption!
ReplyDeleteI love the peek into your garage...I've always wondered where and how you stored all of your seasonal goodies. It looks very organized, so it's no wonder you are able to change out the seasons so quickly.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived near you I'd definitely hit your yard sale and probably buy everything!
