This week started with an oppressive heat (32C and 85% humidity) and ended up with November-like weather: cold, rainy and miserable. The weirdest spring ever!

It was the hottest day of the week so I went with a simple formula - bermudas, silk tunic and sandals. I wanted to wear the collar buttoned up and decided to add my swirly necklace on top of it - does it look weird?

OK, I was not entirely happy with the result when I took pictures in the evening. I may slowly converting to midi skirts but I definitely have my challenges with them. This outfit looked to me better in the mirror - but maybe it is because it is hard to see it full height in the mirror? I tried to casualize the skirt a bit by using a casual shirt tied on the waist - was it a mistake? Or the mistake was to wear the gladiators with this midi - ankle strap stumpifies my legs? I am not sure why but this outfit will not get into my Hall of Fame folder...:-(

This outfit felt better that the previous one. However looking at Angie's outfit from today's post I think that maybe this blazer is a bit too short here. Does it look right to you proportion wise? On the other note I really love these two toned oxfords: they are comfortable and fun and I feel cool every time I wear them!

The weather cooled down and I pulled out my red jeans again! This is a very simple outfit but it was my favorite from this week.

I planned a completely different outfit for today involving Paige bootcuts, nude pumps and green jacket. Alas - I woke up to pouring rain and cold weather so bootcuts and nude pumps were out of the window! So for the first day of calendar summer I pulled out my knee high boots, sweater and raincoat!
It was also raining when I cam home but I like to take my pictures outside. To solve this I moved my "studio" to the front porch and kept my camera under the roof while myself was standing in the rain. Sorry for my "wet" facial expression but as a bonus you have a new backdrop of my front garden for my picture!

grey Martin skinny pants - Banana Republic

Thanks for looking and as usual all suggestions for improvements are very much appreciated!
