It’s Friday, gang! Get excited! Age doesn’t matter when it comes to Friday because I love to kick off the weekend just as much at 63 as when I was 17. There’s just something FUN about Friday. Oscar is here for his weekly gig and I’m dishing up a yummy Trader Joe’s Greek Chicken Salad along with a scrumptious cocktail the mighty Cosmo. So come on in and sit a spell. Let’s get the weekend started!
Can you believe the 4th of July weekend is next weekend?! That’s right. Next weekend… Would someone please stop the time train? We’re barreling through 2022 at breakneck speed. I can’t believe half of the year is over. But before we slip into holiday mode let’s enjoy today. The temps have fallen back to the low 90s. I’ll take it!
The Summary
Today, I’m featuring a shirtdress from Ann Taylor
The dress is modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

Trader Joe’s Greek Chicken Salad
1. Striped Linen Blend Shirtdress
(Ann Taylor)
On a hot summer day, there’s nothing better than a dress. It’s one and done – no muss, no fuss. Just how I like it. The striped shirt dress is from Ann Taylor and is lined which is a bonus for those of us who wonder if we need to wear a slip.
I slipped into a pair of white sandals although I was tempted to wear red. I exchanged the self tie belt with one from my closet, added a few accessories and this outfit of the day is complete. Didn’t I tell you dresses are easy to wear?

Happy Friday! HI OSCAR!!
Can’t wait to try your cocktail and recipe 🙂
Sweet portrait of you and Oscar on the patio with cocktail raised and the dog topiary in the background. You should keep that for a promo shot.
This is my go-to summer cocktail! This or an Aperol Spritz. Have a great weekend!
I love this dress! Looks so comfortable and cool and looks great on you. I have one very similar from Talbots. In fact, I got it out to wear for the first time. What a coincidence. Have a great day.
Hi Ollie and Oscar.
I can’t get enough summer dresses! They’re fun, flirty, and no fuss. Enjoy your weekend!
