Cropped

I know they come and go in terms of being "in style" but I like cropped or capri pants in the summer as an alternative to a skirt - especially for the office when it's warm.  I have several pairs that are dressy/professional looking, so I wear them whether it's the popular thing to do or not! 


These particular cropped pants are a favorite of mine. I wore them in my very first outfit post almost a year ago!  Pink and gray plaid pattern - a favorite color combination and a favorite pattern!  I'm wearing my Megan Mae buttonflower as a bracelet again - and today I didn't even need the Pants Monkey's help to tie it on!


So most all of the shows that the Pants Monkey and I enjoy watching are in hiatus now for the summer.  And while we try not to just sit in front of the TV every night in the summer, there are days that we need to do that if the weather is bad or we're tired.  We've been slowly working our way through Mad Men, so we'll continue with that, but last night I decided to join the party nearly 13 years later on The Sopranos.  We own the first four seasons, but I've never sat down to watch them, so now is the time!  I know it can be a graphic show at times, but after watching Dexter and The Walking Dead I think this will practically look like a kiddie show!  What do you like to watch in the summer?


Lots of kids finishing school this week.  I wish I had a "last day" for the summer!  I should have gone into teaching!  Oh well, I have plenty of days off to use and plan to pepper them in through the summer a bit to enjoy here and there!  If any teachers are reading - enjoy your summer and relax!
