Late Summer Layers

So, it turns out that yelling "boot season is here!" doesn't actually make it boot season.  I know, weird; I totally thought that would work too.

But, it didn't, so I'm back in sandals:




Not that I'm complaining; I love these sandals and am happy to get a little more wear out of them this year before boxing them up for the next  nine months:

Dress: Gap (similar)  Necklace: Modcloth (similar)
Vest: Old Navy (similar)  Sandals: Summit White Mountain

Still, I was awfully excited to wear some boots.  But, it's just too darned hot.


I did throw in some layers though:


So, take that, lingering heat!



Happy Friday, All!

The Convert

I've long resisted the siren song of the vest as a summer layering piece.  But, wouldn't you know it, I've become a convert, pairing my new vest with a midi dress:




I don't know why I was so resistant to the summer vest.  But, I know exactly why I converted: Devon Rachel.  If the summer vest is a cult, she is it's High Priestess. She wears the heck out of vests during the summer and has inspired me to do the same.  In fact, I first saw today's vest on her blog.

She wore it over a LBD, but I paired mine with a BGM (blue-gray midi) instead:

Dress: Gap  Vest & Sandals: Nordstrom


I don't often run out to buy something I see on another blog, in part because my pocket book wouldn't support it, but also because I know that just because I admire something does mean it will work for me.  But, this vest?  As soon as I saw the back I knew it would definitely work for me:



So flowy!  So dramatic!

And I kept the drama going by wearing all the jewelry I own.  Just kidding.  I only wore most of it:




What about you, Reader Friends?  Have you converted to the Cult of the Summer Vest?

Happy Friday, All!
