If you had told me a year ago, that I’d be sporting tennis shoes and dresses, 

I probably would have laughed….

Now I can’t seem to get enough of it…

I love this Calvin Klein striped dress and haven’t  worn it lately..

Today is was calling my name, but the events of the day called for casual…

The solution was easy add my floral Keds…

For good measure add a Steelers  color summer shrug and baseball cap,

and don’t forget the yellow watch, seen better in first and next photo..

We had a very sunny 80 degree day…

This photo turned out pretty orange,…

And to finish it off , wear my beloved Christmas present…

My Ying/Yang Necklace -they are still selling it at my BJ’s…

I love the irony of wearing my necklace when my outfit styling is of opposite juxtapositions . 

like the femininity of the dress and the sporty shoes and ball cap…

Dear Readers, I love that blogging challenges me to try new trends out that perhaps I might not do on my own…

It’s that reason and  my loyal readers that keep my posting despite my blog not  having a huge viewership…

I hope that when I take my three week break for Ireland that you will come back to see my photos! 

If possible I may try to post a few times while in Ireland…

Gratitude

I am grateful  that my husband had another easy day with appointments only  in the evening…

I am grateful that he used his time wisely today and replaced our defunct turtle tank filter 

I am grateful that I was able to complete the homeschooling lessons of the day despite the interruptions of my husband being home . 

I am grateful that a trip for groceries was on the agenda for the day and that we got a lot of healthy options. (its nice having my husband eating healthy as sometimes he can be a saboteur)

I am grateful that both my daughter and my son called me today from colleges to touch base .  

I am grateful that my die hard Patriots fan husband supports my Steelers love and provides me with items like this hat…
