Continuing my fixation on layering sweaters, I decided to go in a slightly different direction and integrate the holey/raggedy jeans I stole borrowed stole from FriendBoy. I thought it would be Ricky Gervais-clever to use the ties on the wrap sweater to hold up the jeans. I realized it wasn't such a stellar idea when I had to get unwrapped go to the bathroom. Live and learn! H&M cardigan, Victoria's Secret wrap sweater, Anthropologie top,
Since the weather is back to 172% humidity and 97 degrees in the shade*, I had to take matters into my own hands
These black and gray checked shorts used to be black and gray checked teacher pants, but at 97 degrees and 142.784% humidity, it's just too hot for all that. I cut 'em, cuffed 'em, and went about my business!Shorts, thrifted; top, Forever21; booties, Jeffrey Campbell; no-name bag & earringsDo you switch things up when the weather is just too hot to bear?
Tank, Forever21; bustier, Grey Ant; cardigan, H&M; shoes, Topshop; bag, ?? There's no label!
Have a great weekend!
The weather goddess was nice enough to give us a break from hair-frizzing 90-degree humidity and grace us with cool breezes and temperatures in the 70's. All the better to break out the riding boots (I've missed my boots and sweaters!) and a thrifted plaid blazer on the way to a late breakfast. Plus Cortez (kitty) is doing much better so I was all "What's all this, then?" and in a really good mood.
Blazer, necklaces,
