First the ON shorts that Helena bought. Pic 1. I probably wouldn’t wear with a black shirt — too high contrast and chops me up a bit — but just trying on with the tee I’m wearing today. I’m inclined to keep these even if they just get worn around the house — the fit is really good and they are comfortable. They are generously sized — I had plenty of room even in a M.

An aside: The tee was a little bit of a mistake — it’s too big. I should have sized down but pulled the tag before I really evaluated it, a rarity for me. I may have it taken in a bit, and the sleeves shortened and angled to make it work better for me. For now I’m just knotting the hem.

Pics 2-3 I also got these pants at ON. Sometimes I like to have some lightweight but full length pants, and these were a one-off in the store — probably an online return. A size M Tall which means they’re long but I don’t mind a little scrunch. They’re roomy but I don’t mind a bit of slouch in the summer heat. And they ended up being super cheap so even if I end up using them as pajama pants, it’s all good. I tried cuffing them but the print is only on the outside so it doesn’t look right. I also tried pinning them to see what a cropped length would look like, and I prefer them full-length.

Today’s WIW for post office and some necessities: (pics 4-5) black and white Ripskirt, the aforementioned tee (by n:Philanthropy, and a smaller size isn’t even available anymore), the teal “pool slides”, teal Kestenberg backpack, and resin earrings. It’s too hot to do anything more special than this. It’s 89 right now and humid, and it’s been even hotter the past few days.
