White & Black with Florals

The weather has been all over the place this week.  I wore this outfit to work the other day when it was super hot, so I quickly snapped these pics out on the balcony.  Ignore the watering can.  Jon has been working hard this spring and summer on growing some herbs and plants in pots on our balcony.  Our herbs are doing really well and so are the peppers, but it looks like our tomatoes may have drowned in some super heavy rain we had last week.  I'm looking forward to all the fresh veggies we'll have in the future when we get a house and have a real garden! So back to the outfit.  I felt like wearing these slouchy pants from Loft.  It's hard to tell in the pictures but they have a little bit of shine to them because they're satin crepe, which combined with the pleating makes them dressier despite the loose fit.  I paired the, with this floaty floral top and my trusty ivory blazer.  Side note:  Blogging has helped me recognize some holes in my closet lately - need to get another light or bright colored blazer and a few new knee-length skirts.
