Today I'm wearing (Surprise!) shorts! :DBut great colour, yes? In a fresh and cool shade of acidic citrus yellow, like a shot glass of limoncello, that wickedly delicious stuff that is to my mind another synonym for "summer evening".
So, OK. Playing one-week-one-pattern is fun, but I am feeling like there are no surprises here. Nothing new, only a small pool of Burda 7723's from which to choose. So I apologise for the repetition and lack of suspense happening here, and can only offer a (hopefully) quite nice outfit in a photograph of a (hopefully) pleasing perspective, colour and composition. I have no idea whether or not that I am successful in this.
But I can only try.
Would you like to know the definition of a reeeeally funfun day? Doing two hours worth of mind-numbingly dull accounting, only to suddenly wake up and realise you have been entering the year 2011 into Every. Single. One.
Hola! (time to check out the actual limoncello situation, I reckon...)
In the meantime; the funny below gave me a big chuckle, so please enjoy...
Later peops!

I really like the colour of those shorts. I have been seeing a lot of yellow around lately. It really isn't my colour but I still may have to invest in some yellow somewhere I think.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the term lemoncello to yellow. It reminds me it's cocktail o'clock.
ReplyDeleteGreat shorts. The top is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these shorts .. beautiful. Time is going just too quickly for us all!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, as usual!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the cartoon.
Love your shorts! great cartoon :)
ReplyDeleteAh shorts, soon I will be wearing shorts and sunscreen, complaining about the heat and eating fresh cherries, apricots, peaches etc. Summer hurry up. But I ramble, my condolences on the accounting fumble. Good cartoon.
ReplyDeleteCute yellow shorts, great cartoon, and I want your pink hibiscus ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sandals!!
ReplyDeleteCute shorts and LOL cartoon!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a summer outfit and I love it! Mmmm... I want those sandals :D
ReplyDeletethe cartoon is a hoot. Next time you make an accounting error, please come for a visit...we have a great limoncello made locally.
ReplyDeleteThat cartoon is hilarious. I'm all about some yellow at the moment and I love limoncello!
ReplyDeleteLimoncello is fabulous and so are your shorts! Also that is a lovely color polish you have on your toes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the cartoon, I giggled!
That cartoon is hilarious!!! ugh, I've made mistakes like that too. Usually in my case followed by a lot of carrying on and crying, and perhaps some swearing. I like your solution better. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving all these versions of shorts. I might need to get 'round to figuring out a perfect shorts pattern (I have a worn out pair that fit great that I'm thinking of picking apart and using as a base) and then I think I too would make quite a few copies! Not boring at all.
