Thought I'd sneak this WIW catchup post in here before the NAS madness starts! It's been very hot and humid for the most part these last few weeks, so I have to admit getting dressed is not that exciting. Still, here are some outfits that I liked. Feel free to skip all the descriptions below and just look at the photos if you want!
1: a weekend shorts outfit, with a printed blouse and navy lace shorts.
2-4: some unexpected pattern mixing. I did not think this blouse/cardigan combo would work at all but I kind of liked it.
5-7: double handknit! Both the shell and cardigan are lightweight cotton blends. cardigan was only worn in excessively AC'ed bus though.
8: liberty dress with blush sneakers. This combo feels very 2018 to me.
9-10: This is what I ended up wearing to that harbor cruise benefit event I posted about a couple of weeks ago. My favorite blue dress, white blazer, low wedges, and turquoise clutch. This was about right in terms of formality for the event, although the dress ranged from women in capris to one woman in a full on evening gown.
11: a casual weekend outfit for running errands
12: cropped flare trousers and printed blouse.
13: These blue metallic flats are my wild-card purchase for the summer. Although they are exactly my style, I haven't bought flats for years for fit and comfort reasons. I had high hopes for these, but they did end up giving me a heel blister, and I've been too scared to wear them since. A shame, because I love the look. They may have to wait until fall when I can wear them with socks or tights.
14: A handknit sheer top with my black denim skirt. This top looks cool but is such a pain to wear, because it snags on everything.
15: drapey black layers for summer.
16: blush and teal again
17: an old, old favorite outfit combo that I've been wearing for years.
18: This navy dress is supposed to be tied in the back for a swing silhouette, but I thought I'd try something different by tying it in the front this time. I've been seeing a lot of dresses lately with this kind of loose gathered waist in the front.
19-20: Dressier teal outfit for a birthday dinner tonight. I was inspired by Brooklyn's dark romance project to dig out these steampunky chain fob bracelets. I'm enjoying wearing them but had forgotten how strongly they smell like old pennies, lol!
