And Pleats, Of Course

It may well be Fall now, but it still feels like summer.  Well, no, that's not true; it's no longer hellishly humid.  But, it's still warm.


Warm enough for star tees and sandals:

And pleats, of course.



In short, the weather is currently gorgeous and I'm getting all the wear I can out of summery pieces:

Tee: Gap (similar) (similar)  Skirt: thrifted vintage
Belt: LOFT (similar)  Sandals: Dune London "Ivanna"

Like star tees and sandals.  And pleats, of course.



Happy Monday, All!

Small Victories

Remember last week when I said it was so hot that I basically had to wear summer dresses every day? Well, that is no longer true.  I mean, I'm still wearing summer dresses:

But now it's because it's warm enough that I *get* to wear summer dresses every day; I'm no longer being forced into it by unreasonable levels of humidity.



Today's particular summer dress is a floral shirtdress (because of course):

I paired it with a pre-knotted belt because when I try to knot belts on my own, they don't look remotely right:

I also wore my increasingly ubiquitous lace-up sandals and bright green earrings:

Dress: thrifted  Earrings: Kate Spade New York
Belt: LOFT (similar here & here)  Sandals: Dune London via Nordstrom

To recap, it's gone from stupidly hot to pleasantly warm and I didn't have to try to knot my own belt.  These are small victories, but I'll take them.



Happy Thursday, All!

A Good Combination of Things

I don't know if it's the heat or my general discontent (I still miss Oregon), but getting dressed has been difficult for me as of late.  This face demonstrates how I feel about most of my clothes lately:

But, I have to say that I actually like today's outfit:

I mean, double pockets, so yeah.  But, also because it seems, to me, to be a good combination of things.



For example, the combination of the dress with the oxidized belt:

That's a good combination.  As is the combination of the dress with the cardigan.



And the dress with the sandals:

Dress: thrifted (similar) Cardigan: LOFT (similar)
Earrings: gifted (similar)  Belt: vintage  Sandals: Dune London "Ivanna"

Yes, I'd say that it's an all-around good combination of things.



Happy Friday, All!
