Jane, a attribute it to the copious amounts of green tea I drink. And when it's 109 in the shade and no shade, my appetite goes AWOL. About the only thing that sounds good is chocolate. 
Marie, after chocolate, caramel is my anti-drug and Starbucks Caramel Frappicino (light, no whip cream and easy on the caramel sauce) is a favorite splurge a few times a month. I remember when Starbucks used to be something we had only when we travelled to and from Michigan, at O'Hare. There are now five of them in a 7 mile radius of my house. It's crazy.

I am posting only to remind that what you wear at work isn't just a female thing. My husband works for a big financial company and works strictly on commission. They want him in a suit with a tie and a white shirt. A light blue shirt is okay, sometimes. He can take the jacket off when he is at his desk. He is expected to don it as soon as he leaves his desk. We live in Florida. 95 degree weather and a low humidity day is 65%. The women actually get more leeway in dressing as they can wear dresses, skirts or pants. And a lot more colors are appropriate for the women, too.
They had casual Fridays for a while but a male financial consultant showed up in a tank top (actually more like a "muscle shirt") shorts (and not the contructed kind) and flip flops. End of casual days!!!
Now it may seem silly and stuffy and prudish, yadda, yadda, yadda, but, since no one at my children's school have ever seen my husband in anything but a suit and tie they all think he is a highly successful business man (whether he is or isn't is not the point here). on the other hand, a friend of mine is a lawyer and so is her husband. They have their own firm and wear whatever they want when they don't go to court. This is usually extremely casual. People are floored to find out that they are lawyers! It makes me wonder if people then infer that they are not successful lawyers? Such is life. We judge by appearances. It has always been this way and always will be this way.
Personally, I like a bit of sequins to liven some things up like the cute pink flip flops I have. But to each his own!

Well I work in a business casual office I sometimes wear t-shirts that have some rhinestones on them under a very conservative jacket.
Just want to stir up the office a little.

I think all companies should use Lake Havasu's dress code. Guys in t-shirts and shorts. Females in short shorts, and a bikini top. This was the dress code for any office there. Most people who lived there really took care of their bodies and looked great. But I think the dress code had to do with it being some where between 120 to 130 degrees from end of May to end of September, but even October and November was still in the 100s. During the summer, at midnight you could walk out of your house and it would still be 100 digress sometimes warmer. For all the time I lived there, I don't think I ever seen anyone even dress career casual, little alone in a suit. But the one thing nice, was that dress code, made it where everyone was pretty equal. As both men and women, were basically only half dressed. It was nothing to see a male CEO, walk around in shorts and nothing else in the office.
Females were taken seriously by their boss and the locals. It was just those on vacation that would stare and looked shocked. But it was 120 degrees or better, not even the A/C could keep your house or the building you worked at under 80 degrees, between noon and 7 pm. So something had to get changed and that was the dress code. You could wear it, as long as it covered up the delicate areas and kept you cool. Which make it so easy to find work clothes, I think I had about 20 different swim suits, and a ton of shorts. As even in high school that was pretty much the standard dress code.
