I've always struggled with summer dressing. I always feel uncomfortable in shorts or too short dresses and never can land on a good formula. But this summer has been easy, dressing-wise. Ever since I landed on my formula of midi skirt and tailored blouse or dress last year, I've found summer much less stressful wardrobe wise.

I didn't buy anything this summer except for thrifted finds. For casual wear, I always have a hard time in summer finding something that is flattering and comfortable. This year I decide I wanted Italian linen and I thrifted some great and flattering Italian linen dresses that I spent every weekend floating around in, pretending I was in Rome.

Everything in photos thrifted except:
Pink and Navy silk tops: old workhorses from Ted Baker (3 yrs old)
Multi color pleated skirt from club Monaco (3 yrs old)
White midi from Shoshana (3 yrs old)
Printed Pencil skirt from Joe Fresh (6 yrs old)
White pants and taupe blazer from BCBG (2-3 yrs old)
Striped dress:. CM 2 Yrs old

bonus: my fall look today! Theory suede Moto, old BR sweater and much worn thrifted knife pleat skirt.

Comments and suggestions always welcome!
