The Oval Office

Now this is a familiar outfit – after uploading these photos to my computer I spent a good five minutes staring at them trying to think if I’ve worn something similar before. I know I haven’t, since this dress is new and I’ve only worn it twice, so I guess the outfit looked familiar simply because it’s a combination I’ve worn time and time again. Anyway, it’s for this week’s SIA, inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s “The Oval Office“. I almost went with the pattern mixing of red stripes and blue polka dots, but in the end I thought that would be too 4th of July, so I picked the white-blue-yellow color scheme instead. I only wish I hadn’t donated my red striped espadrilles, because they would be perfect for this (but then again they’re really, really uncomfortable, which is why I donated them in the first place.)

Thank Heavens it was still cool enough after the storm for me to wear my cardigan, and it stopped raining long enough for me to take these photos. Seriously, our backyard looked like this:
