Another week, another couple outfits. Nothing too spectacular because I was commuting a couple hours daily for a lifeguard class. I’d forgotten what it’s like to wash my hair every day!

I’m figuring out that in cool weather, I shy away from the dressier looks that are so natural to me in summertime. I’m not sure why that is, but it is evident. I’ve even been wearing (gasp!) jeans!

The shorts outfit was for a glorious 70 degree day that I spent inside with Rescue Annie. I had one more layer underneath, a coral/salmon colored tank top, but in reality I didn’t even get past the sweater. Bass shawl collar sweater, 1990s. Gap factory shorts, 201x

This truckers jacket is the closest thing to orange I have for this time of year. This jumpsuit is a great example of why summer dressing is easier for me than winter. Even though my legs are fully covered, the thin fabric makes the body outline easy to see. Winter fabrics are much stiffer, with less give, so they need to be planned more carefully.

Jeans from 2010, velour top from this summer, and a favorite belt.

The red boots are a tiny bit shorter (heels) than the ones I had the flare jeans hemmed for, but I wanted to give them a try. Not sure which way I like the paisley shirt better. I’ve had it since college. Navy shirt is from the Esprit outlet in the 90s.

In reality, my Funkita workout bikini is what I’ve been wearing (rash guard on top, obvi). And look—my lifeguard certification card is the color of the week, orange!
