WIW: On A Sunny Saturday EDIT bootie pic

Deborah

Hi Ladies,

Saturday's outfit was cool and comfortable. And a minor variation on what I have been wearing all week. Dress (in this case a sleeveless tank dress used for layering), sleeveless topper (I promise I have been washing this in between wears) and footwear... this is so easy in the hot weather.

The open toe booties are new and the wedge heel is in a blonde wooden look I am looking forward to incorporating the booties into my office wardrobe when I go back to work:)

I know my outfits have all been very similar this last week so I completely understand if you have reached your boredom threshold

Thanks for looking

xxx Deborah

I will never get bored of your outfits, Deborah!-) And you have done it again: you are a master at combining elegant and fashion-forward, and all that while having to dress for the Australian heat, my hat is off!

You are on a roll -- dressing with consistency and elegance in record heat! A refined sense of style is pleasing, not boring.

Are the booties cool enough?

Your outfits never bore me, Deborah- I can always draw inspiration from seeing how you put things together.

I love the way you've put the sleeveless topper over the tank dress here. I wish it weren't so hard to see the details with black clothing!
I have a black tank dress and I would love to wear a combination like that if I could find the right sort of topper. Is that a long vest?

Your super-cool boots elevate the whole look to an extra level of edgy. Very Odyssey Home! Love it!

You can do no wrong in my book. I love this. It is so hard to look cool (both ways implied) in the heat. I'm pinning this for the future, it *will* get hot here and I have the sleeveless sheer topper already. I have some other black dresses but they have a waist and more detail, not sure they will work with the sleeveless topper.

I 'get' the vest topper now Deb- it adds shape, flow and texture to the tunic dress in a lovely way!
The booties are a great choice too- whilst they could shorten the leg line they actually are very flattering to your ankles, and would have a cross-season appeal with the lighter wooden heel.
I hope you had a great Australia Day, and it is actually raining here this morning!
Very welcome to our parched gardens and thirsty wildlife.

So chic in all black layers. Cool booties but I thought you had a similar pair last year, I copied you and bought some like them

Oh my !!! You look amazing !!! I love the boots. It is wonderful how they match the dress but at the same time the heel "bookends" with your hair. Just wonderful.

Thank you!

Ha ha Angie, I'm busted! Yes I am quite inspired by HO at the movement. I used to dress like this very consistently a few years back,so I'm having some fun revisiting it.

Beth Ann and Thistle, on a scorcher of a day say 35 to 40 I think the booties would be too hot but yesterday was around 29 so quite comfy. I work in air con so they should be fine for the office too.

Parsley, yes it's just a sleeveless vest in a summer weight knit. And there is not a lot of detail to see. The tank dress is just a very plain stretch knit and the vest over it. The hem is asymmetrical and dips down longer at the front:). Love to see your version of this.

Denise you would rock this look. This could be done with a waisted dress, but I do think the detail needs to be minimal. On a not so warm day, this could work over skinny jeans or pants too I think.

Lyn, I am pleased with the booties. They shape nice,y at the ankle and I think the trick may be keeping my hem length around knee level. Rain! I wish. I thought I could small rain coming last night but no:(.

Jayne, I have another pair of shooties in black for summer. They are like a covered sandal with a high vamp that stops before my ankle. These new ones are more of a "bootie" as the come up above my ankle. I'd been wanting something like this for ages. I wear this other pair heaps.

Isabel, thank you. Yes the heel does bookend my hair, and I hope that the amount of skin showing also creates a similar effect and softens the black a little:)

Deborah, you could never be boring! I always look forward to your posts and am so impressed with your layering skills. I wish I could look half as elegant in hot weather. Love your new booties!

Yes, I'm soooo incredibly bored that you may as well pack up all your clothes and send them to me - lol!

I don't know how you manage to always look so chic and "at ease" in the heat Deb - this is just another perfect example of arty chic-ness (is that a word?).
