Fav Summer Outfit

Found me a roving photographer today who was kind enough to do some retakes that included my feet. I so envy you ladies who can manage the self timer and get decent shots!
Sporting my all time favourite outfit this summer - DK mesh top with grey cami underneath, Zara cotton trouser kind of pants, white belt from target and grey clutch and Rudsak oxfords. When I really want to 'shine' I sub in my silver sling backs. Happiness and comfort factor through the roof.
Any tweaks needed? What has been your fav outfit this smmer?
Comments, thoughts always appreciated!

Oooh! No wonder you love this. It looks quintessentially "you." Modern, hip, relaxed, fun! No tweaks needed.

Your hair looks fab, too!

My fave summer outfits have included my Vince Camuto skirts with various tops, and my white Mexx shorts!

Love your summer outfit. You look very fresh and polished. Mine is similar. Mesh with tank, boyfriends/skirt and cage sandals. I've been eyeing cotton twill pants with the front pleats but not sure if I'm ready to go there again. I realize the new fit is nothing like the mom jeans I wore years back but the fear remains. I'm working up the courage to post pics but it can be really frustrating getting the logistics right.

I don't have many pictures of my summer outfits, unfortunately. I love your outfits Merwoman. And your hair! I didn't see it cut yet, it look fantastic!

Suz, I love the white and blue combo on you. So summery and fresh!

Thanks for the kind comments ladies!
Love your outfit Suze -perfect for any occasion. And thanks to you and Rae for noticing the haircut - I've added a soft fringe which is surprisingly easier to work with.
Suzyq - Your summer go to outfit sounds fab - please post! And I so hear you about posting pics. While I love recording the outfit for analysis - so often I find the photo is not capturing what I'm seeing IRL. Or maybe I'm a tad delusional

Very nice! Casual and put-together. If it was me, I probably couldn't resist a "pop of color" via a statement necklace or watch.

I had to chime in one more time today to say absolutely KILLER. So fresh, modern, chic and fluid. And how fun it is to see you post again. I have really missed your outfits, merwoman. Please don't be a stranger. xo

Suz, you are as fab as ever in that outfit too.

What a great, casual easy outfit. You look effortless.

Many thanks again ladies!
I agree about the pop of colour Wendi altho, truth be told, I've been in such a monochromatic phase lately, especially on hot days.
Angie - you've made my day :-)! I've got lots of outfits cooking for the fall (getting ready for my Japan travel capsule), thanks for the 'posting' encouragement.
Diane - I appreciate the 'effortless'- descriptor, it's something I try to achieve in my outfits. Sometimes it does seem like a lot of effort goes in that effortless appearance

You do look great -- I really like your hair too.

I agree, you look great! It's easy to see why your happiness factor is so high here. I love the simple elegance!

My favorite Summer outfit must be my cobalt dress with sandals. Very simple and cool, and the cut of the dress is structured, yet relaxed. I'm sorry, no photos at hand.

Thanks Ceit and Ingunn! Your cobalt dress sounds gorgeous Ingunn - there is something about a relaxed fit that feels so right for summer.

Fab outfit! It looks current, comfy, and fab. My fav outfits this season have included my TR Brianna's or my Target bermuda shorts, and my sleeveless banded-waist tops from the Loft.

Fantastic! Love the white shoes and belt with this but can see it with silver slingbacks too - I mean I would love to see it!

merwoman

Veteran

Thanks for your kind words!
Amiable - you rock white jeans - please break them out!
Shannon - the drape and feel of these trousers is divine. I picked them up for a song last January - almost as good as thrifting.
Shevia - will try to snap a pic next time I wear the combo

I can see why this is a favourite. It's stunning on you. I'm stuck in winter so I don't have a favourite summer outfit and I can hardly remember what won last summer. But I do have a couple of new dresses in my wardrobe that I can't wait to try out.

merwoman

Veteran

Thanks for the the 'fav outit" love!
Lyn you're right (and very sweet) new hair. Bit shorter and fringed.
Joy - love your favs as well, gorgeous colours!
Nicola - I find it hard to remember winter during these dog days of summerr - but soon things will turn for us both...looking forward to seeing those new dresses!

Beth Ann

Hair looks great, MW! I love the silvery tone of the grey with white. It's simple, but far from boring, with the texture in the sweater, and the modern silhouette.

I change my mind about my favorite outfit every 2 weeks or so!

merwoman

Veteran

Thanks Beth Ann - am happy with the new hair, less work than the previous do which is always a bonus.
Chuckling at the 'longevity' of your favs..yes there are weeks when I swear my fav outfit is anything that's clean....

Ha... you need no advice. This is splendid. Love the shoes with the outfit. Glad you found a photographer. And a wireless remote is very easy... Once the shop owner has explained everything. You do need a tripod though. Somebody or something has got to hold the camera.
