19 May Sunshine yellow and a new neighborhood haunt
Hello everyone! I think everyone knows at this point I like wine. I used to get the gallon Franzia in a box in college. Then it was zinefindel which I do like, but have gone to a couple of tastings to know what i like. Who doesn’t enjoy a crisp, cold glass of pinot grigio in the spring/summer months? My husband and I went to this new Tapas ad Wine Bar called Bacchus Tapas and Wine, here in our neighborhood. It was nice to sit outside, very sunny and hot, as we were the only ones outside, but then again it was 1:30 in the afternoon, 90, but honestly , there was a breeze. I do enjoy being outside, but there is one thing about Charlotte, that usually happens every year, we have a short spring, or it goes directly from winter to summer. This is a hot spell. It will go back to the mid 70s, then maybe again up from there. It can be tough to “dress elegantly” when it is in the mid to high 90s which when we have had hot spells in the summer, get that hot. Basically, you certainly can if you know you are going to be in air conditioning, but I like to sit outside, view the scenery, and wear my sunscreen. So, we had a good bottle of white Pinot Grigio, I had a delicious summer green salad with focacia croutons, tomatoes, onions, pine nuts, and I added grilled chicken. Just enough when it was that hot out. Hubby had a side salad, which was similar to mine, but added blue cheese chunks, and then he had a sandwich, a toasted turkey, smoked mozzerella, tomato, on foccicia bread. We then walked around, as it will be a big complex with an ampitheatre for music, shops, restaurants, wine bar, and music. Overall, a nice day.
Have a great day! Jess

Posted at 23:10h, 23 MayThat almost neon yellow is exceptionally flattering for your skin tone and hair color. You look radiant. And I agree, it’s hard to be elegant in extremely hot weather…story of my life. :\

Mary Murnane
Posted at 15:51h, 20 MayYou look amazing, Jess! I love the yellow skirt! I think I’ve mentioned this to you before so forgive me if I’m being repetitive, but the color yellow just exudes happiness to me. Throw in an ice cold glass of wine with some balmy temps and that happiness turns into pure bliss 🙂
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 17:12h, 20 MayHi Mary! Thanks so much for your lovely and kind words. I know what you mean about yellow. I feel the same. I also agree about the wine. I am a red wine drinker, but love some Pinot Grigio nice and chilled in the summer. The problem with white is that it is so cold and refreshing, I drink it faster, sip it, than red. :-)) I am looking forward to some “happiness” tomorrow! You too

Posted at 10:43h, 20 MayHi Monika!
Thanks for popping in. I appreciate the lovely comments. When I first tried on the yellow skirt, I did not buy it as I thought it was too bright. Later, I went back and thought, get out of your comfort zone and it is a pretty yellow. Great taste in bags! I do love this Damier LV, holds alot and is a classic. Have a great week.

Posted at 15:54h, 19 MayWhat a stunning necklace! Love it. I also like that you’re wearing yellow – as a fellow red head (well mine’s a lot darker these days) I have tended to avoid the colour but you look great in it. Porcelina x
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 16:28h, 19 MayHI Porcelina
Aw. You might just need to find the right shade of yellow. This skirt is bright. I do like cream yellows. Thank you, I like unique pieces of jewelry. Glad you stopped by!

Posted at 14:38h, 19 MayYou’re looking super summery! Love your red hair, so nice!
I like wine too but I usually prefer red. I’m Portuguese so my favourite is Douro and Dao wines 🙂
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 15:27h, 19 MayHi ! Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comments. We are both red wine drinkers. I love Spanish wines: tempranillo, Malbec, Granache. I began with drinking Pinot Noir, which I still enjoy. We do, as you see here, drink white wines occasionally, but mostly in the summer when it is very hot. Have a great week.
Dana
Posted at 14:09h, 19 MayYour skirt is beautiful, this soft yellow and the great lace! Also love shoulder free shirts, very feminin and sexy. Looks very nice and fits perfect to you. The necklace is lovely 🙂
