How's everybody doing? It's Friday-YAY! I hope you all had a great week and for those in the States & Canada, a fantastic holiday! May the fun continue. 
You may be asking, why am I giving the "side eye". Well, this has been a hilarious 4th of July for me! Let me explain. For about a week, local meteorologists have said it was going to rain on the 4th of July! They said there would be a "100% chance (ok, maybe not 100% but close to it) of rain!!! Don't plan ANY outdoor activities!!! Anything you do, should be done INSIDE!!!" That's what was repeated and exclaimed!So I and many others planned accordingly for the 100% deluge. I picked out a rainy day outfit, went to the crowded supermarket, stocked up on food, stocked up on spirits and planned to stay INSIDE. C'mon rain! Bring it! So I waited and waited and...
Well, wouldn't you frickin' know it! Does this look like rain to you? The grass is crunching underneath my feet it's so dry. LMFAOOO It didn't rain ONE damn drop! As a matter of fact, the sun stayed out and it was super HOT! I need to go to meteorology school if that's the case. Make bad weather assessments and still get paid? Sign me up! Are your meteorologists pretty good at determining the weather? Or do they get it wrong also? HaHaHa One channel here always gets it wrong. I need to stop watching them.I changed my red rainy day outfit to this head-to-toe Old Navy blue & white number. It's a navy blue chevron print fold over skirt (that I purchased last year and never wore), that I paired with a summer white cardigan and ankle wrap sandals. The red nail polish on my toes is Butter London's "come to bed red" and my red lipgloss is MAC's Archie's Girls "strawberry malt". So that's my red, white & blue! HaHaHa I think I did pretty good with my last minute change.
My menu for the 4th was barbeque chicken, baked beans, and potato salad. Everything was really good, but what I enjoyed most was the strawberry shortcake and watermelon! :) So refreshing! It made up for what the meteorologists got wrong. HaHaHa Guess what they're predicting NOW? Rain thru Tuesday of next week! I don't know what to believe anymore. HaHaHa

Haha, I'm (sort of) glad to know that your weather forecast is just as useless as ours! If we want to have a picnic or bbq, we literally have to decide on the day as it's near-on impossible to plan anything ahead with our rubbish weather (forecast). I like your blue/white outfit with some red touches, very classic. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Kizzy on winning the giveaway! Have a lovely weekend - hopefully with sunshine xo
WOW you look fab in this amazing outfit, the chevron skirt just rocks!! And fab with nice weather - when we celebrate midsummer day (23/6) it is ALWAYS raining - no exception, the same this year. ha ha. Loved that you had a fab day, happy weekend love,
ReplyDeleteAxx
Love your cute outfit and the menu. That strawberry shortcake looks so good!!! I've never had one, I'm going to go look up a recipe right now. Thanks for this fun post. sparkle2day.com
ReplyDeleteYou look marvellous doll :) Love that skirt design, so chic!! Am really pleased the sun was out and it was wonderful for everyone!! Hahaha..yay me!! I shall put that to good use indeed, so cool :)) I appreciate it :))) I hope you have a marvellous weekend my dear girl!! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteHahaha...don't you just love these "accurate" predictions from meteorologists! Last week, our local weather guys said the weekend was supposed to be super nice, but it ended up raining the whole two days. I can't even!
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, love your chevron skirt, Kim:) You look soooooo fab!
Here it happens all the time! As the weather is unforeseeable because of the climate change due to global heating but they don't want to sack meteorologists during the recession, here you go! Ahaha I don't waste a second of my time listening to weather forecasts. Maybe that's why I'm so pissed when I've planned to wear sandals and it rains cats and dogs! By the way, you look fabulous in this navy and white outfit. I think I will definitely buy that foundation though I'm afraid of its dermo unfriendliness... Ok today I'm that tiny bit talkative. Too much caffeine!! Big hugs Kimmy. xoxo

Chic attire--I adore Chevron stripes. You look fabulous, Kim! Yay--it didn't rain. We have some forecast (um) issues up this way (fairly consistently) as well. Happy Friday!!! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHaha, our meteorologists always get it wrong too! I've learned to carry an umbrella, even if it's supposed to be sunny. :) That strawberry shortcake looks delicious!

You look so chic in your outfit, rain or shine. Wow, your July 4th feast sounds delicious. The Lanvin Statue of Liberty is tres chic. Enjoy the rest of the Holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you wore for the 4th, and I'm happy to hear that it did not rain even if the forecast said it would. No one likes rain on fireworks day.

Happy Fourth of July! Hihi. Our meteorologists are usually wrong too. They predicted that a typhoon will hit us by midnight but it actually hit us at around 8am in the morning. Of course, they cancelled all the classes immediately but the streets were flooded so the students were stranded inside their schools.. Of course, the first time that happened, I can understand but it keeps on happening... *sighs*
ReplyDelete(>_<)
Yay, congrats to Kizzy! i know she'll really enjoy the makeup! The weather can be crazy as can be meteorologist's predictions!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I hope you still have strawberry shortcake to enjoy!
xoxo,

Kim! I think this is the first time I've seen an outfit post! (I guess I haven't been following that long). You look SO CUTE! And I bet those meterologists are hanging their head in shame. Actually, they've probably use to being wrong, so this didn't phase them either. Anyways, I'm glad you had a great 4th of July... the watermelon and strawberry shortcake look delicious!! You're making me hungry again! All your posts somehow make me hungry.. especially that one with the baked goods made out of soap! hehe

ReplyDeleteHaha, they always get the weather wrong in England. I check the app on my iPhone and it can change every half hour! Glad you got to have nice weather though!

Hey Kim, you can't rely on the weather forecast nowadays although I secretly still depend on my weather app. Lol. Hey, at least you had good food and I love that chevron skirt on you. Perfect pairing with the white cardigan too! Congrats to Kizzy! Have an awesome weekend, my good friend!

Haha, those weather people! Gee. We actually did get rain but fortunately it wasn't enough to keep us inside ALL day.
ReplyDeleteI just love it when the weather forecast is WRONG!
ReplyDeleteHere we have a joke, whatever the weatherman says, well the contrary will occur.
I love your blue chevron skirt - arent you lookink pretty ?

ReplyDeleteI love your patriotic outfit Kim! You looked so fabulously chic! I don't know abou those meteorologists sometimes. They've been predicting alot of rain that hasn't arrived in NYC lately and I sure wish it would cause the air has been so humid.
