Not unlike (I'm guessing) winter in say Chicago or Minneapolis, Summer in Texas requires dressing for seriously fluctuating temperatures. Outside it can be triple digits while every building in town is frigid with air conditioning, so layering is essential.As such, this week's outfit pretty much represents my Summer "uniform"... some sort of thin dress + a light cardigan that goes on the minute I step inside a building.
I pretty much live in the cardigan above...but it's getting long in the tooth, so I'm on the look-out for a new one. I have my eye on this lovely from J.Crew in smoke but am open to suggestions, as it's hard to find good cardies in the middle of summer.
The Details:
- Dress -- Converse for Target (I swapped out the navy slip that the dress came with for a nude one, as I really liked the look of skin peeking through the "lace".)
- Cardigan -- Super old from Banana Republic
- Necklace -- Homemade
- Bracelets -- Vintage + bangles from Gilt + this bracelet by F. is for Frank (which is by far one of my very favorite pieces of jewelry...)
- Shoes -- Givenchy scored at an epic Barneys sale
