WIWs: Summer Blue and Black & KIR w/ Una lemming #2

1) i really like Angie's recent ensemble post. Light blue washes me out, so mid-tone will do. Also gave me a reason to wear these Leith pants which were an Angie pick two or three years ago. I like to leave the zippers open a couple of inches when I wear it with these black pumps. Necklace to bookend the leg zips.
2) Keeping It Real in the rain. Is it seasonally confusing to wear tall rain boots, shorts, and a beret? LOL!
3) KIR w/Una's Bzees sandals:

Very lightweight with comfy insole. Just a teeny bit big for my low volume feet, but a ball of foot insert keeps my feet from sliding forward.

Nice outfits. You cant beat dry feet.

UmmLila (Lisa)

The blue top is a very good color for you and a good interpretation of Angie's look. Boots and shorts seems like a very "festival" look to me, but you seem to be making it work well here.

Your interpretation of Angie's ensemble is terrific. I really love the coffee shirt too

Rain? I say, what? Lol. 1 is very fashion forward. Love

BrieN

The rain boots outfit is so cute and happy. You look great in shorts - I hope it's not weird to mention that you've got great legs

Shedev, dry feet ARE important.

UmmLila, I had a good laugh at your festival remark!

Amy, thanks! I always have a hard time finding a graphic tee, but this one spoke to me!

Rachylou, I thought July was going to be a dry month, but it rained for two days last week. Yay!

BrieN, cars driving by in the parking lot caused my big smile in pic #2. Still not used to taking pics in the wild. LOL! Also, since I'm a mom of 3 and in my mid-40's, I'm a happy recipient of compliments. Thanks!

That shade of blue is wonderful on you, and those Leith pants are great! I'd love to see them with an asymmetrical top.

Love the other two outfits, too. I've got those rainboots and your coffee tee stuck in my head now!

celia

How great you look !
Yes, rain and hot weather are hard on wardrobes but you make it look easy .

You look super cute as always, AJ. And the whimsy in your style is a fun addition that makes others - like me - smile.

I love it all, simple&fabulous.
Great shade of blue on you and you're super cute in shorts, with your fun accessories they look girly rather than sporty.

harmonica

I love al of these! I want those zipper trousers! I don't find rubber boots and shorts seasonally confusing at all. Very cute!

catgirl

AJ! I love the floral shoes on you! I will say I've worn mine to wade across a river several times and the finish on the footbed is starting to peel off. But I imagine that's due to my usual shoe abuse. Otherwise they have been a joy. You are wearing them just as I do. And I like the shorts and boots.

Firecracker (Sharan)

I love the shorts and boots outfit! That is so adorable, and inspired. The beret finishes it so well. You look fantastic in hats.
Outfits 1 and 3 are great, too--1 a very polished, casual look, and 3 a fun, relaxed look. The tee is one I can relate to.

Lisa

I like all three boots here, and the short and boot outfit reminds me of Megan Fox.

Xtaybay, the right asymetrical top has been a HEWI for a couple of years now. Good idea to pair it with the Leith!

Celia, thanks! Yes, summer has to be about the accessories, because it is too hot to layer. I can't even wear scarfs or necklaces if I'm going to be outside for any length of time. So fun earrings, hats, shoes, and bags are my summer workhorses.

Angie, thanks so much! I have to include items that make me smile because the HEAT is such an energy drainer. I'm glad it makes others smile too.

Skylurker, ha, there is nothing athletic about me, so girly will have to do!

Alaskagirl, thanks so much for pointing these sandals out! They are working well for my MOTG lifestyle.

Thanks Harmonica, Firecracker, and Lisa!

Vicki

Love your take on Angie's blue and black ensemble, which I also want to try. I just realized we are Leith twins, AJ! Your other casual styles hit the right fun notes and the hat is so cute on you.

Beth Ann

I remember the Leith summer! Glad to see yours is still working for well for you. I never bought this exact pant, but I have a very similar one in my wardrobe that I love for hot days. I also have 3 cropped pairs for my athleisure and lounge.

Your first look is sleek and lovely -- this would be a good travel look.

The boots with beret are worth of a little singing in the rain!

The floral shoes add a little zip to the fab-casual shorts outfit.
