Here in South FL we&#8217;ve had bits of rain, but as I type this the sun is shining and it is sweltering! It&#8217;s been a long, interesting week for me, I&#8217;m definitely ready to hit the snooze button and get some rest over the next few days. In the meantime, I am having a ball getting dressed these days and pairing existing items in my closet with new finds and ideas. This skirt is a perfect day to night item, I&#8217;ve worn it both ways, and so is this top&#8230; and the bag (which converts into a clutch!) and the shoes. Lol. Talk about pieces that really go the distance! I know I keep saying this, but skirts and light pieces like this are so crucial to surviving summer without becoming a sweaty blob. Case in point- me, yesterday (<em>unphotographed of course<\/em>), in a long sleeve tissue paper thin t-shirt and light cotton maxi skirt sweating bullets within 1 minute of standing outdoors. Not cute. Light fabrics can be so deceiving sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a roller coaster week coming off of the holiday break with a monster sinus headache, the efforts of taking up spinning again, and managing various disasters like 1) internet outages 2) power outages and 3) a dog vomiting up mangoes (the pitfall of a huge mango tree in the yard). I can honestly say I&#8217;ve tried to handle each mini-crisis with a calm demeanor, thanks in part to this amazing and inspiring book I am reading about keeping it together when you want to fly off the walls. Or scream at someone, hehe. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianbook.com\/unglued-making-wise-choices-midst-emotions\/lysa-terkeurst\/9780310332794\/pd\/332794?dv=c&amp;en=google-pla&amp;kw=christian-living-0-20&amp;p=1167941&amp;gclid=CI_ExtPPqrgCFVFp7AodcEYAIw\" target=\"_blank\">In case you&#8217;d like to check it out it&#8217;s on sale for $5 right now<\/a>.
