Three outfits from the past few days. I think I could probably live in them for most of the summer.

1. This is husband's abandoned button down. I love it. Crisp, non-wrinkly, breathable and cooling cotton, and then those stripes and white collar. Yes please. I've been waiting for summer to come up with ideas how to wear it and when Angie recently blogged about draped blouses (and linked to t.h.i.s) I had to try the idea. And was instantly sold, although it really highlights how short my toso is and I'm not sure that's very flattering. But, I was happy. Big thumbs up from Mr.O too. However, it required a few safety pins to keep things in place, but I have plans of working on this styling and making it less fiddly for wearing.

2. Worn to run errands in town. It's hot, I'm cycling. This (?) diagonal sleeves top, made of double layered thin t-shirty fabric, is one of my favorites as it somehow crosses the line between the tee and the blouse, so I have it in black too. I like the forgiving and cleverly placed drapings. I've rolled up the old capri pants to what's better length to my eye, and out came the sandals bought at the end of last summer, because I only then found what I wanted, so I plan to enjoy them a lot this season.

3. Same top as before, just in black, and my favorite-ever full linen skirt. Worn to visit the car museum near Audi factory at the south of Germany. The photo was taken by the car with quite an amazing story - this is what 50 years of Texas sun did (or did not do) to a car that was bought by the US soldier in 1956 when he was returning home from Germany. Abandoned, but somehow saved from the crushers, and returned in 2008. to the place where it was built many years ago, the car now stands as a testament to an amazing quality of German manufacturing.

Bonus: a few close-ups of the car from my background, some vintage exponents, the Audi buildings interior and my own draughty MM moment on the site :-D.

Thanks for looking, comments for improvements are always welcome.
