   Hello fellow fashionistas!  First & foremost, I would like to sincerely apologize for my lack of posting!!!  I am so behind that it's embarrassing!  However, I am BACK!
 
   On that note, I would like to talk about the fact that it is now November...which means the holiday season has officially kicked off!  (HUGE smiles for miles from this blondie).  I love this time of year...I love the feeling when you walk through the bustling malls full of sales & hurried shoppers; family & friends reconnecting (in my case, I will be the one flying across the country to reunite); beautiful decorations & colorful lights being hung across neighborhoods & cities nationwide...all of which make me feel very warm & welcome!  I wish I also had the liberty to say that its the time of year I get to pull out my scarves, fur vests & boots from the back of my closet.  Unfortunately, in my case, I'm still waiting to dust my winter gear off ha.  Its still quite warm here in the Keys and that, my friends, is a big downer.  I have always wanted to live somewhere cold & snowy for the holidays...and unfortunately being an Arizona native & now a south Florida resident...it just does not appear that this is going to happen for me! Ha ha, oh well...guess thats why you'll see me blogging away in shorts this holiday season.

   It's no question that this outfit was calling me back to the 1970's, a decade I would have definitely enjoyed living in!  The music was Jive Talkin' & the clothes were flared & fantastic.  Wearing high waist shorts, a floral blouse, gold large metal framed sunnies...I felt as though I was channeling the iconic Farrah Fawcett.  Hope you all enjoy the outfit flashback.
 
   Leaving you with my promise to post frequently (girl scout honor), I bid adieu & wish you all a very Happy Friday & a great start to your weekend.  :-)
