Last day for my favorite Summer LBD.

Looking at weather.com, I realize temps are going to be inching their way toward the 60's next week. This will likely be the last week I get to wear this, my favorite little black dress of the summer. I love the open knit yoke on the bodice, and of course the mini length. You can't tell by the pics, but the solid black part of the dress is made of a cotton blend plisse fabric, so it's so comfortable and lightweight too.

The shoes below I fell in love with earlier this spring. They've certainly seen their share of sidewalk this summer! Aren't they so cute & mod? Both items (shoes & dress) were thrifted, and the belt was given to me by a friend.

I miss posting outfits and hope to do so more often when temps give me no other choice but to be inside. ;)

We're Sleek in Black.

Inspired by my cat Linus, I was determined to get out of my gloomy mood today due to too much sad news within the past week. Why not play dress up? I found my favorite little black dress in that area of my closet of "dresses I'll never sell" and paired it with some belts that are now in the shop (except for the Christopher Ross bow belt, it just sold today, which is precisely why I had to take the opportunity to get one last pic!) ;)

About my inspiration:

Cuddling Linus: He loves to cuddle, but only on HIS terms. If I want to cuddle with him, absolutely not. But at 6 in the morning nearly every morning he comes and nuzzles his little wet nose on my arm as if to say, "I'm ready now."

Weird Linus: The shape of his dry food comes in X's. He only eats the ends and never, EVER eats the middle.

Hilarious Linus: I can't count the number of times when I'm working on the computer when he's in the room and if I get up suddenly, he jumps out of surprise about a foot in the air. Makes me crack up laughing every single time.

I love this black cat, and this little black dress too!



Beltless.

With Avant Garde beaded belt.

With Christopher Ross bow belt. (While falling in love with a pair of shoes recently found!)

With the catty 80's glam leopard belt.


My napping Linus, he's just tuckered right out, ready for a nap, just like he always is. :D
