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.

Do you feel like you need to start putting your summery clothes away already?
Love the cardigan and bold statement necklaces! I really need to get some cute pieces like that necklace to spruce up my outfits :)
ReplyDeleteI have a serious addiction these days to statement necklaces. I recently got a few from some online shops that I'll be featuring on the blog.
DeleteLove the bright colours of your outfit! I think if they make you happy, you should continue to wear your bright pieces as much as you want :)

It's one of my favourites :)
DeleteI really like that color scheme you used in your outfit, those colors looks really good with your skin :) as much as I love cold weather and fall, sometimes I hate fall/winter clothing because I live in the tropic (Venezuela) so it's always hot in here, and when the fall/winter collection arrives you cannot wear anything because the colors and the sweaters doesn't go with this high temperatures. Hahaha sorry for my long comment. Loving your blog, I'm already following you :)

I take advantage when I have a tan. Once fall rolls around, it's back to being pasty white.
