Isn’t today’s featured blogger inspiring? She showed up right on the day when our temps are shooting back up. Looking at her and reading Inge’s text, I got all kinds of great ideas. But when I tried to transfer them to my challenge, not so much.

These are the shorts I wore way at the beginning. I didn’t want to repeat the cranberry top with them, so I pulled out a velvet shirt I’m planning to wear on Christmas. I think I needed a belt, and besides that, it was too hot. On to the next. The 80 year old women in saris in Dar es Salaam look great with their bellies showing. Me, in a top I must’ve picked up at a fair somewhere (I wanted to try champagne with the shorts), not so much. The tank tops untucked all looked sloppy, as did the short-sleeved shirt.

If you have ideas on styling these high-waisted shorts for warm weather, I’d love to hear them. I think a champagne or pink sleeveless top with a little structure to it could work. I’ve worn them with black. It’s pretty uninspiring—too much darkness, and makes my legs look fluorescent.

I haven’t worn the b/w dress on its own yet, so that’s today’s outfit. Blah. Good thing I like the dress.
