Was remembrance day today, although I unfortunately failed to remember during my morning meeting and worried I may have talked through the moment of silence.....

This dress is another of my "not worn in a while so should try to wear again" items. Been 8 months since I last wore this dress! I remember wearing it every couple of weeks when I first got it. I could wear heels a lot more often then though. Paired it with tights as the stormy rainy weather was supposed to continue, although it seemed to hold off until the evening.

Thought that the purple scarf would add a nice touch of colour, and I really like wearing this as a belt :)

I have been trying not to splurge on clothes or accessories for myself lately and wear what I already own, but caved in when I saw these cute mouse flats on sale! Knew they would be a great neutral for summer and the warmer months, and I really miss my old gold flats after I wore them to pieces. Plus you can never have too many mouse flats! :) thought about it for a day before I purchased them, which gave me time to think about it and also meant that the package arrived at my desk on Monday morning. Nice way to start the week and meant I could wear them today.

Spent some time on Saturday trying to get more of a head-start on Christmas shopping! Had a list of things I needed to get, and found a few more nice little things just from browsing. Still have more to go, but quite pleased with the progress so far.

A little matchy-matchy with the belt, bag and shoes today! Was a comfortable outfit for the heat, and a nice touch of colour.

Went to the movies in the morning with my mother in law and sister in law, and spent the afternoon swimming in the pool. Had Church Online in the evening. Lovely way to spend a hot Sunday!

I haven't worn this skirt in almost 2 years, last wore it January 2012. Should probably let it go, because as pretty as it is, it doesn't get a lot of wear in my wardrobe. Might hold onto it for a little longer though and see if I can wear it more often, as I love the print and it's the only silk item I own.
