The heat goes on

Uffda, another HOT one out there.  So, it's another sundress!  And it's another totally not maternity outfit.  I kind of love that I have some things that still work!  And I'm cool and comfy and that also makes me happy!

Dress as skirt - thrifted unknown
Shirt - Ruff Hewn, from friend
Sandals - Xhilaration, Target
Necklace - S&D with MMD buttonflower
Bracelets - Target and Bead for Life 


It might be crazy hot, but we're eating a winter meal tonight!  Got a nice crockpot of chili waiting for us at home.  We had all these tomatoes and peppers from our CSA and thought - what better than to use some of that up than with some chili?  Who cares that it's over 90 outside?  The crockpot doesn't heat up the house!  I remember we ended up doing that on a hot day last year too.  Eventually I get tired of summer meals, you just have to shake it up a bit!

In other news, you may remember I mentioned I had a friend who was due any second with her third child - she finally had him yesterday!  He's a big one, but I'm so very happy for her and excited that my little guy will have a playmate.  I went to visit over my lunch hour yesterday, got me pretty excited about meeting my little man too.  Lots to do before then though, so he can just keep right on cooking for now!

  1. So exciting that your friend and you will both have baby boys so close in age! I am with you on crockpot meals in the summer or at anytime. I have beef stew on tap for this Friday, ha ha!

    I like how you layered the top and dress. The colors look great together!

  4. Awww so many babies, congrats to you friend! Chili actually sounds great. With air conditioning it's cool inside right? haha. Love how you layered this longer top over a dress, what a creative idea!

  8. Crockpots are a total life saver in summer time. Just turn the fan on and maybe add a dollop of sour cream and a side of sweet tea. That'll cool things down a bit!

  9. I really like your top and sandals today! You must have a/c in your house if you can eat chili in the heat!

  11. Well you just keep on cookin' girlfriend. I love your light weight outfits for work that are keeping you cool. We have had cool weather while you're having hot. But it is suppose to be up in the 90°s again this weekend. Happy Crock pot!

  13. I have a crockpot but I've never actually used it! I know it's meant to stay on all day, but I get nervous with the dogs. Hope you can keep cool in the heat!
