Thank you Corde. How's Florida? Is it still warm? We will be there soon. Hope sandpiper is sunny and warm so that the kids could still enjoy the little pools for them.

We are still having highs of 88 to 90, but it is intermittently starting to feel like fall. I think the humidity is dropping. September is the worst month in terms of being hot and miserable, but the weather will shift sharply in the next few weeks. When it happens, it is like someone throws a switch. After the heat "breaks," the weather is fabulous. It is my favorite time of year. It becomes pleasant. The rain stops. It is very much like CA except a little warmer. Sounds like you are going to time it perfectly.

Great news!! I was afraid of hurricane. Looks like so far so good. The word "switch" reminded me of Forrest Gump. He said in Vietnam after four months of raining nonstop someone just switched off the rain then just sunshine ...". [emoji1][emoji1]

September 10th is the peak of the hurricane season. Every day past that the chances are diminishing. Don't know how soon you are coming, but there is no talk of anything building in the Atlantic that might head this way.

Oh I think it was the same woman who helped me. She's really nice and patient isn't she?

I'm still feeling a little guilty for splurging on the skirt. I might have to count is as my birthday gift a bit early,

I found photos of the dress and the skirt. The dress can be worn so many ways. And it can be with with a turtleneck for winter. I bought a jelly belt to wear with it if I want to belt it.

The skirt that I bought was a dark navy bordering on black and the silk print is black navy and caramel

I have to post later from my iPad. The iPhone won't let me post

What is a jelly belt? Is that like the beach shoes that are called jellies? (or are those crocs?)

My dear PocketbookPup, I think I have my eye on that same leather skirt. You are absolutely right, it fits incredibly well. Congrats!

Too funny. Bad news for me. DH is making me wait to get the skirt. It's $$$ and an investment piece but he doesn't think that right this moment is a good time to invest in skirts. [emoji23] He is right. I'll live. I'm hoping to get it later in the season. They did say that it has to fit perfectly because no alterations can be made. It fit me perfectly. Sigh.

Ugh same here. It fits me perfectly but I too think it's a bit much and something I can only wear for 3-4 months a year. I would like a heavy weight black skirt in this cut though. Let's be strong together for now. [emoji1]

Hi cafe!
Been busy past few weeks, in and out of town for a conference, then there was the Singapore grand prix. Anyone went there? It was too hot and humid even at night that I didn't particularly want to rub bare sweaty arms/elbows with strangers, so I ditched.

Anyway, past few hours I've been trying to tie a 90cm on my picotin. And it's just either messy or ugly. Please indulge me and say something. Don't worry I can take it, I know nothing about art and can't do anything artsy or fancy :facepalm:

Hmm why try a 90cm? I think maxi twilly would work out for picotin much easier. I suppose you have the smaller size of picotin so a 99 might be big.

Maybe a 90 is too big to tie on a bag? Although, I really do like all the ways you've tied it!
