Yep, I’ve never worn shorts to work before. But I’m tired of my dresses, and it’s too hot for anything else. I did try to make it a bit more respectable by adding a white button down. Am I being too conservative? Do you wear shorts to work?
Excuse the brevity of this post. My brain is melting…

It took all of my self-restraint to keep from bursting out into song on the treadmill when this song came on my ipod. However, I will be jamming out to it in a few hours when I get dressed for the night.
I wore this while running around the city, taking photos. I left the house convinced I felt confident enough to get some street style photos. I chickened out though. It feels so unnatural for me to approach people I don’t know. I also think that a lot of the beautifully dressed people I see on Newbury street are tourists from overseas, and I’m nervous about asking someone who doesn’t speak a word of English.
In los gatos malos news, I brought home dried catnip for the first time. Highly entertaining. I think Chloe is now a catnip addict. Pretty sure I have a bag of potato chips I would’ve found her passed out in it after getting the munchies.
I also got a pedicure with the brightest neon pink I’ve ever seen. The picture just barely starts to capture the… neon-ness.

I’ve have this shirt forever but the straps are a little too long. I pinned them up and presto, perfectly fitting shirt that was sitting at the bottom of my drawer for years. I’ve got to bring it to the tailor soon. You might also notice that my hair is straight. Really straight. I got a brazilian keratin treatment, and I’m working on a review of the experience to share with you guys. Here’s a spoiler… it’s awesome!

Earlier this week, I gave up on dressing for the weather. Like Sam Jackson would say, or yell, “It’s too hot for this shit!” So I wore my new shirt from Zara, and long pants, and sweated my proverbial balls off.
Short post today; I’m actually in Philly visiting my sister and nephew. I might be biased but my nephew is the smartest, cutest child to ever exist. Enjoy the weekend, folks!

If these photos were taken at the beginning of the night, like I’d planned, my hair would be down and giant and curly and fabulous. But when you mix alcohol and a hot bar, you end up with hair pulled back (and out of my drink!). So these photos were taken at the end of the night, after champagne, abita raspberry beer, and passion fruit martinis. I think that explains the uh, quality of these photos.

I’m still obsessing over maxi skirts for hot weather. They are such a good ventilation system. This is another dress worn as a skirt- perfect for getting that floor-sweeping length I’m crazy about.
Hi! Calliope here. I’m wicked cute, right? Yeah I know- I am fucking adorable. Thanks for noticing.

Another day, another long skirt. There’s really no cons to wearing a long skirt. When you walk, it’s nice and cool and breezy. When you’re being attacked by air-conditioning your legs are covered up. They make everyone look taller and don’t require shaving your legs. Yup, a long skirt is the perfect article of clothing.
For those who read yesterday’s rant about consumerism and my pledge to wear most of my clothes before buying any more, there are indeed two new additions to my wardrobe in this outfit.
Number one is this super cute and lightweight shirt from urban outfitters. Gifted to me from one of the lovely ladies on fashionism, I think I’ll be wearing this loads as the summer heats up. Number two is my footwear. Every summer, I visit GoJane and buy a few trendy flat sandals at ridiculously low prices. They rarely last past the fall, but for $15-25 bucks a pair, I think I get my money’s worth. These are really comfortable and may just last me a few seasons.
Chloe cat is in her typical formal-wear outfit. Why she insists on wearing fur in the god-awful heat is beyond me. She’s clearly a blue-blood.
Lastly a close-up of my new favorite necklace. My sister bought it for me when she visited last month. It’s just dainty enough to be worn with nearly everything.
