Summer Brights

Happy Weekend!!

Canadian readers, I hope you're enjoying the long weekend so far. I must say, I'm quite happy that I don't have to get up early for work tomorrow. 

I decided to take some photos of my outfit the other day, before I went out for dinner. It was one of those weird days where it was sunny one minute and pouring rain the next, so I took these pictures inside. My friend and I went for a delicious sushi feast and planned to go see my other friend's new apartment afterwards. We stupidly didn't call until we got there and found out her and her boyfriend went for dinner. We met them at the restaurant, and sat through another dinner. We were too stuffed to feast on anything  at this second dinner, but enjoyed a margarita instead!

It was a nice way to kick off the long weekend, but as we enter August, I start to question myself when I go to choose something extremely bright and summery to wear. I know it's ridiculous, because it's clearly still midsummer, but once the stores start to feature the fall colours, I feel out of season in my summer brights. That said, I still wear my summery clothes, because I know that soon enough, they'll actually be out of season.

One of my favourite summer sweaters is this bright blue wrap cardigan that I bought a few years back. I used to work at a clothing store that primarily sold high end denim, but we had some really nice tops as well. This is definitely a 'memorable' piece, so I don't wear it too much, because I never like to seem like an outfit repeater.
