Today I woke up and felt in a very "I wanna wear plum and mustard" type of mood. Instead, what did I come up with?I know we're all super excited about having rosy cheeks and eating anything and everything pumpkin flavored in sight, but when you live in the Midwest you learn that summer is not a season you want to toss out like a used tissue. It's here for one month, and the rest of the year is a brutal winter that tries to break you and suck you of all hopes and dreams. If I was here when the Motherland first started, I'd ask my fellow Pilgrims why we sailed an ocean to set up shop in hell's freezer.
So that's why I'm still hanging onto my mint skirts and happy Popsicle colored shirts. Because I'll be trudging through snowmaggedon soon enough, with chapped lips and a running nose, cursing the gods that wearing ski masks is not socially acceptable.
(Side note: I bet next week I'll have sweater posts =P )

Looove your shirt and skirt! As a Michigan native, I feel you about winter haha. It really does drain your soul. I moved to NorCal (Oakland!) and have loved the lack of winter. No fond memories of snow boots for me!
ReplyDeleteWow ,i love the Blouse with the mint Skirt! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeletekisses :)
Gorgeous pairing of colours... and those boots, adorable! As for hanging onto summer, yup, I hear ya!! Although, I'm getting excited for fall. I'm not looking forward to the cold, and here in Vancouver we get so much rain. Happy weekend, lovely lady! xo V
ReplyDeleteGreat colors but now I want to see plum and mustard, so...that better be next?
ReplyDeleteLove that top, it looks super comfy too.
If you can complain about the brutally cold weather, then I shall complain about the brutally hot weather here in Texas. We don't really get much of a Fall, but today is super cool out and I have no idea why I am sittin in bed in a summer nautical dress instead of digging for a sweater and enjoying the wondrous weather outside!

Love the way that this is so casual and yet utterly timeless and chic.Rx

True that!!! I'm all for showing bare arms and legs for as long as possible. By October I will probably be bundled up beyond recognition. You look so cute...I really like this color combo! xx
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful! I love the skirt xo
ReplyDeleteReally like the outfit, and the way you combined the shirt with the skirt.

Haha! I tend to take summer for granted because our winters in Miami are so short! But for living under such brutal winters, you do a great job in styling happy colors!

Interesting combination, the mint skirt is lovely. I live in tropical country and really wish we had fall or atleast colder days, I want to layer so bad so be happy for me, and you can always escape cold winter days to somewhere warm ;) xx

ReplyDeleteI love mint and red together! And the short hair becomes you (I can say it that way, right?) so much!
ReplyDeleteyou always have such pretty colour combinations! i love the fact that the stripes on the shirt aren't neat and straight! xx
ReplyDeleteMint and red totally belong together- I love this look! Winter in the midwest seems like one of the scariest things ever, that's why I suffer through hot, Phoenix summers :)
ReplyDeleteOhh that color combination! And the stripes! Lovely :)
