Hot & Cold

You may find yourself asking, "Why is Pink Julep's hair always in a ponytail these days?" Well, to answer that question, it's HOT! Really hot! All the time! So why am I wearing a cardigan you may ask? Because the air conditioning in my office resembles the temperature of the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle! So today I have on a heavy and warm cardigan, but the yellow tee underneath is so light and airy it feels like wearing nearly nothing at all!

Here's a close-up of my perfectly matching yellow rosebud studs. Love these!

A close-up of my shoes, which sadly suffered an accident today... I scuffed them on the toe beyond repair! This saddens me deeply and to be honest, I'll probably still wear them for a while, but they just aren't the same anymore... bummer!

After work, hubby and I headed to Caymana Bay for some light shopping and a movie! You may find yourself asking "Why is Pink Julep suddenly dressed like Nanook of the North if it's so hot in Cayman?" Glad you asked! It's because the movie theatre here is FREEEEEEZING! It's so cold that if I have on flip flops, I bring socks in my purse!

Here's my outfit as I wore it out in the open.

And then I added a big thick cardi to combat the cold!

Boho Friday

I really liked my outfit today. It was comfortable, fairly cool for the heat, and super fun! I am in love with Turquoise and I'm having fun experimenting with it!

Here's a close-up of my Turquoise cocktail ring. I LOVE IT! It reminds me of a Kenneth Jay Lane ring I saw a while ago, but I got this one for only 2 Euros in Ireland! BARGAIN!!!

Casual Friday

I have the most fun with my wardrobe on casual Friday's, mostly because I'm not a fan of office wear. I find corporate clothing choices bland and uncomfortable, though I do try to keep my office dressing as fashion-forward as I can. But on Friday's, I can usually wear something I really like that doesn't involve pleated suiting skirts, pencil skirts or slacks. I can rock jeans and a funky necklace, which is what I really love!

A close-up of my necklace, which I love! This outfit is all about a good pair of jeans and a slightly pricey accessory being used to up the anty on an otherwise bargain basement outfit. I love the look of mixing turquoise with a chocolate brown - I think the color combination is great and really brings turquoise down a notch.

Excuse the hair in this photo... when I run out of time, I opt for the Carrie Bradshaw poofy messy curly ponytail, which I can now see after photographing it, that this isn't my best look, but it suits my purpose for time occasionally.
