I'm actually trying on the two pieces together for the first time tonight after work to see how I like them and if they're contenders for tomorrow. I believe they pass. I'm thinking of leaving off a belt for sheer comfort. I've been walking at lunchtime and I think I'll prefer the floaty-ness of the unbelted top. Plus, I can tell already that I'd be fiddling with the front ruffle and side vents getting caught up and I definitely will not enjoy that. Sounds like I've made up my mind.
Speaking of lunchtime walks, I passed by this little guy today. I've lived here 23 years and I'm still enchanted by the tropical birds that are as common here as crows and sparrows up north.
And a couple of shots of the views from my office. Ironically, I can clearly see my old office from the new one. I hope they can see me back in the saddle and smiling.
Great looking outfit! Good for you for being back in the saddle and smiling again. Hope your new job gets better and better every day.
ReplyDeleteGreat view! and love the outfit...
ReplyDeleteYep. That outfit works!
ReplyDeleteLovely - a great combination - and success is the greatest revenge!
ReplyDeleteDebbi, beautiful location for a walk. We've had family pics done in that spot in the past. Great to have a nice view from your office!
ReplyDeleteFlorida definitely looks like a beautiful place to live and work (and sew) Debbie! And the outfit definitely works beltless...J
ReplyDeleteI just love Florida and miss it every day. I think I have seen that view or something very similar during the years I lived there. Glad you are back in the saddle and happy!
ReplyDeleteI would totally skip the belt if you'll be walking. I walk quite a bit to school & home, and belts and things like that seem to like to spin around my waist in circles and make really annoying bunching up messes. blech. ;P
ReplyDeleteThat aside, this outfit looks great! The flounces look nice and summery.... your pieces always look well executed & like really well done RTW.
Is that the University of Tampa (the old H. B. Plant Hotel) in the background? Great view.
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous view from your office. The only window I get near looks out into the "bullpen" as the smoking area is known. Totally surrounded by buildings and concrete/asphalt on the ground.
ReplyDeleteWalking at lunch - I should start doing that instead of eating and cruising sewing blogs.
Sew good to see you back in the sewing/blogging saddle again...
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the new job. Praying does work! LoL...
The two pieces look great together, and I don't think the top needs a belt. Love these bright sunshiney colors!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job!!!!
Great looking pieces but I can totally see it with a thin belt! TFS
ReplyDeleteAh, FL looks so pretty. But it's so hot. I spent my first 40 years there, but the only thing I miss is Publix. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust found out they're opening one in Winston-Salem, so Greensboro is only a few years off. Glad you like FL. Many folks who move there don't, so that's a good thing. And it's a great place to visit.:-)
