My new dress...

It's been super hot here these past few days and more hot weather is forecast.
I am in dire need of a cool frock...
something loose and in linen, my fabric of choice...

I recently culled my faded black Bamboo Gilmour dress after 5 years of service...
it had faded and was looking rather sad. It was difficult saying goodbye to such a fabulous dress...I wore it to my retirement party and for many other occasions after...

I popped into the shops on the hunt for something cool and I came home with a new Italian made linen frock.


I think it has a BOHO vibe.



Champagne shade which is as neutral as a black could be...


Nice details


Loose and bordering on baggy but HELLO COOL!


It works for me...
and at under $100 how can one complain?
In other news...
I went for my annual mammogram
I hope that all you ladies out there do your exams.

I have a breast lump that I have had for several years and am always a wee bit nervous thinking maybe something has changed...that it might be a cancerous lump.
Last year my GP said "its nothing to worry about" but I can feel it and it is larger.
I know my body and hope that it is just a cyst...but I do wonder.

So when the report comes in I hope the verdict will be the same...
Mom had breast cancer and I would like to avoid that diagnosis if at all possible.
That is always in the back of my mind...


So how are you staying cool in this heat?

Are you sipping a tall cool lemonade...
swimming in a pool
or sitting in the shade of a tall tree?


Have you bought anything new to wear this season?
Was it an impulse buy or one to replace a recently discarded garment?

Take care and stay hydrated my friends!
