Something you should know about me is that I'm cold. Pretty much all the time. And in nearly every season. When it's 90Fahrenheit/ 32Celsius, I'm finally comfortable...providing there's no breeze. Unfortunately I spend my life at work and home with significantly warmer people and therefore I've had to make provisions for my own temperature comfort.
At work, I keep a small space heater under my desk which I keep running practically year round. I also coordinate virtually every outfit with a blazer or cardigan and tights. I've been wearing Charter School Cardigans pretty much since ModCloth first introduced them, and they have been such a staple in my wardrobe and my comfort that I don't know what I'd do without them.
So, strange as it may seem to call this a summer look when I have an extra layer present, yes, this is a summer outfit complete with peek-a-boo bow front on my sundress and some airy espadrilles, but I will still need a cardi because, well you know, that's just how I am.
This particular Charter School Cardi is called Subdued Stripes and I knew the minute I saw this mustard yellow dress that I would be pairing it with my Subdued Cardi. I love the way these colors and the stripe print really take a pretty dress and make it an amazing outfit. You can see why I own at least a dozen of these cardis.
Taking photos on this morning was such a treat, because one of the baby Bleus came with me to do her own outfit photos. So, I got to take some photos of her as she is growing and finding her style. I won't post them here, because she hasn't given me permission, but I think she did a fantastic job of putting together some stylish looks and capturing her expressions in these moments of early morning sunlight and being able to share this time with her meant so much to me.
You can see from the glow on everything that the sun is just coming up over the buildings. This is my favorite time to take photos, but it does mean getting out of bed very early in the morning. I didn't think baby Bleu would be able to manage it, but she did just find and we managed to catch this golden hour of sunlight.
When I convert this outfit for autumn, and you know that I will, I'll do another post and we'll see exactly how many layers I can manage to add to this outfit. I'm thinking: slip, tights, and top underneath the dress........TBC
