I can't even begin to tell you how gloriously wonderful the weather has been lately. It's a pity, because there aren't any leaves or anything yet, so it's a bit sad but the grass is green and if you look close enough you can see the buds on things. Much to my unhappiness, it has been windy. My original plan was to wear a skirt with the second outfit, but it was too windy and the skirt was of such a thin material as to make every movement against the breeze inappropriate! Instead I decided to repeat myself to my heart's content with some shorts and a blouse, and so here are two versions of the same outfit--basically.

I've bought a new purse, in an effort to stop carrying everything I own around with me at once (it's much smaller than what I usually pack myself). And still, I am in love with my hat. I wrote a funny little poem to it (it rhymes) the other day, and I think it is just the bee's knees! I will be tempted to wear it tomorrow also, but I'm afraid I must learn some manner or kind of self-restraint--although one could always discover another hat. I've just, at almost this very moment, finished watching HBO's Grey Gardens--which was lovely, though terribly bittersweet and sad--but I don't think I'm quite ready to take the flying leap into head-scarves.
At some point I will make all the posts I've been planning, the ones that are silly and thoughtful with funny citations and all that, and things of happiness, but for now we have outfit posts and the lingering wish to sleep.
Perfect summer-y outfits. I love the bag!
ReplyDeletelove those shorts

Lovely outfit :) i tried to wear a skirt outside myself yesterday, tons of Marilyn Monroe moments there. Better stick to shorts.

ReplyDeleteI loved Grey Gardens too! But feel the same way about not being ready for headscarves! :P
The hat belongs to you! You look so great with the hat.
ReplyDeleteOh, I made the mistake of wearing a too short dress on a windy day recently. Thank goodness I was wearing tights. Need to find some longer shorts like yours that can be worn with pretty springy blouses, it's such a great look :)
ReplyDeleteI love the matchyness of your hat and cardigan!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - and this outfit! Your skin is like a beautiful China doll!
