A stay-at-home day today, but with a coffee guest this morning and my daughter coming this evening. I wanted to look relaxed, but not gone to seed.

It was a cool morning, with a warmer afternoon, as summer winds down rather gloriously.

My very beloved leaf earrings are often called upon when I wear these cargos, because they add a discreet touch of femininity, while respecting some kind of outdoorsy vibe. I wrapped a torsade chain necklace around my wrist for a bracelet. I find I prefer chains or beads to a rigid circle around my wrist, especially around the house. Bangles clank and move around too much and make me feel like I'm play-acting. They only work for me in certain moods and when I'm going out.

And then I added the belt because I felt like it. Very rational and scientific. Do you think it was a good idea?

The grey cardigan is for warmth, as I left the windows open at night. I am still thrilled to have a cool house after our very hot summer. And I like the slouchy aspect of it with the cargos, so I'm defiantly doing volume on volume.

Please excuse the hair. It has a mind of its own, and was in an argumentative mood today. And I was not at all in a scarf mood today. I know, I'm shocked too.
