Hello everyone, sorry for being so absent from the forum. I thought I'd post some pics to show what I've been wearing lately and how far I've come on my quest for a better summer wardrobe.

#1

Rediscovered these pin stripe bermudas which I hadn't worn very often. They're hard to photograph, I swear the pleats look better (at least I hope so).

#2

I hemmed an old pair of jeans and I've been wearing these very often lately, always with the sandals. The cowl I'm wearing was knit by our lovely Eva.

#3

Thin striped longsleeved tee with high low hem. I definitely need more warm weather options like this.

#4

I hemmed these old H&M denim shorts, again (they were already hemmed once and dyed too). I think they look decent enough and will be a good option for our summer holiday.

#5

Dyed my old skinnies black so they're looking decent again. The sneakers are the ones from pic #6. Unfortunately my red pair developed holes in the lining. Amazon gave me my money back, but they didn't have the red ones in stock so they couldn't replace them. They were a few other colors available and I picked the grey ones. The color is nice, it looks grey or taupe depending on the light. Of course they're very light compared to my old ones, not sure if they'll work just as well in all outfits...

With the bermudas, shorts and cropped jeans I now have enough bottoms, so I'm not going to look for another pair of shorts. I'm going to see if I can find another few tops instead that work well with these bottoms. And maybe with a skirt too, although I don't really have a summer skirt right now.

Thanks for looking.
