Because It's still 100° Outside

I know, you keep seeing all of us in Southern California keep posting about how hot it is, complain, complain, complain...but it really is! Yesterday my car told me it was 100° out, yes triple digits. Okay it might have said 100° for one block, but it still counts! So in light of the heat I wore this...short skirt, tank top (fancy tank top so it was okay to wear to work right?), of course I wore a sweater over it, but the sweater was more functional because work seems to think they need to keep the inside colder because it's hot outside...

Let's all Go Back to College!

Okay, not really. But I did go back to my college campus yesterday for an Alumni BBQ, they have one every year, since each class sizes are so small, they just have a BBQ for everyone and then they celebrate the 5, 10, 15, 20, etc, of that year over the weekend, ending in the BBQ on Sunday (which everyone is invited to) So this year is 2012, so this is our 10 year reunion, so it's was "our" year to go to all of the hoopla over the weekend. We decided we were just going to participate in the BBQ on Sunday.  And because So Cal has decided to have yet ANOTHER heat wave...I'm wearing shorts and a tank top.

We went swimming lots this weekend, when did they say that Fall was supposed to get here?

Fun Fact Friday

I don't have an outfit post for you today, so I figured since this blog is new and what makes for a good blog? Getting to know the person behind the blog, so I'm going to give you 5 fun facts about me, in bullet form, because I like lists (I won't even consider that part of my 5, see how generous I am?):

• I'm a Virgo through and through, if you look it up 90% of that is me.
• I was born in Seoul, Korea, was adopted and came to the States when I was 5 months old. My brother (9 months younger - yep you did that math right, my parents went from 1 kid to 3 kids in less than 6 months) and sister (5 years older, don't tell her I told you) are also adopted.                              This is who I call family:

 Starting from the left: Brother, Sister, Mom, Dad, Me, Mr., Baby Fox

• I majored in Electrical Engineering, how did I came to that major? It was a process of elimination, I didn't like anything else and I was good at math.
• I make lists on a daily basis, sometimes I write stuff down I already did for the day just so I can cross them off, or I'll write down, eat breakfast (duh) or/and make dinner just so I can feel accomplished for the day when I see things crossed off.
• Last but not least -  Just after graduation I bought myself a red Toyota Tacoma,  I named it Fred, and drove him up until I was 7.5 months pregnant when we bought a sedan, more practical to get baby in and out then a truck. I miss Fred dearly and sometimes wish we didn't have to sell him, I may or may not have cried a little when we sold him.

So there you have it, 5  6 fun facts about me. Until next time.

Bubble Bubble

Yes, that's right I jumped on the band wagon and bought a bubble necklace. I bought this necklace in my favorite color...when I was younger my parents thought I was color blind because whenever they would ask me what color something was, I would reply with blue-green...I digress.  My only problem, ALL of my shirts are v-necks (I have clastrophobic issues...I feel like I'm choking just thinking about it), everything I tried it with didn't look good. I started searching my favorite fashion blogs and saw that a lot of people paired their bubble necklaces with button up shirts. I can do that. This is what I came up with, I think it's very business casual and perfect for the office.

Trying Outside the Norm

I'm wearing 3 different colors, well 5 counting the dots on the shirt and my shoe color. I *think* this works, but not completely sure. I didn't get any weird comments at work, or strange looks so it must be okay. I think it needs a belt or something, but have yet to find that perfect belt. Maybe in the near future.

Old and New

 I was in my brother's wedding recently and our gift and jewelery for the bridal party was this coral necklace. This dress I bought a long time ago, and I have no idea where I got it actually. Then the tank top under it is from Ann Taylor Loft. Whenever I used to wear this dress, I never wore any necklace with it, but since aquiring this necklace I thought it was the perfect compliment.

This is how I feel trying to come up with a pose...I never know what to do...Do you ever have that problem?

The Difference a Sweater Can Make

So I never wear this dress because *I* think it's too low cut for work, but adding this sweater makes it work appropriate. Love what a sweater can do.

Since I never got a close up of the beautiful necklace the Mr. bought me for my birthday. Inside the locked are Baby Fox and Mr.'s names engraved on a gold heart. If you want one of your own, go here.
