Chambray and Chiffon, Among Other Things

I know I just featured chambray yesterday, but I just couldn't resist the alliteration after coming across this chiffon tank. That cloche hat has the same sound, unfortunately it's not at the beginning of the word. Have you tried out a cloche hat? I used to have a couple years ago that I loved. I just love the shape of them and hats in general are really great for those days when your hair just won't cooperate.

Take Monday Off

We've all been there. It's Sunday night and you've already got a bad case of the Mondays. Here's a good outfit for when it's bad enough to take a "mental health day". Take Monday off and go run errands, cruise the mall or sit outside at the cafe in town that you like.

Now, unrelated to Mondays... look at those shoes! Do you know why I love those shoes? It's because when I was 10, I had a pair of hi-top white canvas shoes with a layer of white lace on top of the canvas. The lace may or may not have been a little shimmery. The best part were the wide laces that were... well, lace! Those were my most favorite shoes of all time and these shoes instantly reminded me of them, and that's why I had to share them with you guys.

One might consider this ensemble a little... rebellious. Or maybe outrageous? I think it's fun.

Scratching an Itch

Today I saw a really great layered look for fall with a shirt dress and heavy belted sweater over it, and cozy thigh high socks. It gave me an itch for warm layers already and it's just barely summer! So I did a lighter version for this post.

The sweater vest is breathable with different types of stitching, and being that it has no sleeves, would hold up well in summer time. I suppose whether or not the socks are needed depends on your local weather!

Day Trip

This outfit seems perfect for spending the day in a near by city. Comfortable enough for all day adventuring, but not too casual. The messenger bag will hold all of your essentials while keeping your hands and arms unoccupied for picture-taking and map-reading.
