I know you aren't going to believe me but this is not my house or my balcony. Our house doesn't have a balcony, in fact I'm not even sure if we have an attic. But I am 99% sure we don't have a second floor. Of course who needs a second floor to have a balcony? I could just knock out our bedroom wall and put up some columns. And some of the huge lion statues, so people know we are high class.
Hence, why I went with a style blog instead of a decor blog.
This will round up my 30 for 30 summer remix. (I'll try to post all 30 looks this week, promise.) I always feel like I just finished running a marathon after a 30 for 30. Although technically I've never run a marathon. I have run a full mile though. I know, you are impressed and probably thinking, 'how does this girl have time to run a whole mile once in her life and wear clothes?'
It's a gift.
Mellow Yellow
Sometimes when I dress in bright colors I actually forget that I'm wearing bright, attention-grabbing colors. Take today for instance, as I was walking up to the post office some girl in the reflection of the glass caught my eye. I thought "well that's some serious yellow going on." So I did a double take in the glass. Turns out, I was the girl. I'm not sure if that's a good sign when you start talking crap behind your own back...to yourself.
This is also probably a sign I need more friends. That don't hang out at the post office.
Backwards
I know what you are thinking -- "she's wearing her belt...backwards. That's weird." But actually I really like it this way. The only problem is going to the bathroom, so I just don't drink water. Problem solved! If you are wondering what this looks like from the back and how I hide the buckle, I've made a diagram for you to study.
Now you understand, young grasshopper, now you understand.
Advanced Style
There might be cool weather where you are, but here in Texas it's hot, you guys. Maybe too hot. I typically carry around a cardigan or jacket to throw on when it gets cold when sitting inside, but the thought of wearing a jacket of any sorts makes me want to gag a little. And I hate throwing up, so no jacket for me.
Yesterday, I saw a little old lady who was very well dressed and covered in gold tone accessories (I mean covered -- purse, shoes, jewelry, the works). Then I noticed her layers of bracelets over her oversized gold watch. I looked down at my layer of bracelets and oversized watch. This either means that lady reads style blogs or she's been rocking that look since the 80's. Either way, I gave her the silent head nod of approval and an only slightly creepy wink. Although she clutched her purse tightly and walked away, I think she got the message.
Free Spirit
Ikat?
I wore this outfit a while back (but I didn't blogged it, so it didn't happen). When B asked what I was wearing today, I said "you know my ikat skirt that I wore the other day." First mistake: using the term 'the other day.' I'd like to flatter and tell myself that he remembers every great outfit that I wear, but this is a lie. (No hard feelings though, B.) The second mistake was using the word "ikat." If you would like to see total male confusion, use a vague name that doesn't remotely describe the pattern but kind of sounds like a new Apple invention. Even better? Ask him to spell it. I almost told him that tomorrow I'm wearing my idog skirt, but that would just have been cruel.
(PS -- My necklace came from a boutique I worked at in college. Besides a rogue Britney Spears cd and a bachelors degree, it's the only thing that remains intact from my college years.)

Copy That
Remember when I coveted this outfit? Well now I've copied it. Which is ten times better than my original plan, which was to steal it.
I have this problem. The contents of my closet has somehow ended up on the floor, instead of on hangers. I'd blame my college roommate but she lives 500 miles away. I'd blame my husband but he stopped wearing my clothes years ago. I don't know who has done this to my closet, but I'll find them. And when I do, they are cleaning that hot mess up.
As I was saying, it's hard to get dressed when nothing is in order. (See: Closet Organization post) That's why this shirt is on repeat from last week. And this skirt? It was thrifted and newly hemmed from my mother. The shoes were the only ones left on the shelf and luckily my bag never found it's way into the dark abyss that is my closet. Looks like I'll have to clean my closet myself or re-wear this outfit tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.
