WIW: A summer outfit

July 31, 2018

As I commented on Angie's post today, I feel much more stylish in fall and winter clothes than in summer clothes.

However, when hot days finally arrive, I do want to wear those few warm-weather dresses I own. Here's an example of one that I wore today for a very hot 91-degree F day in the midst of our annual heat wave in Seattle. I even brought out my wide-brimmed hat, which I think of as portable shade.

The outfit: t-shirt dress with fashion print in black and white (made by me); taupe and white sandals (P. Monjo); taupe cross-body bag (Brahmin), and cream and black woven hat with black band (Walleroo, Josie).

Thanks for looking! I welcome any thoughts.

    Stunning summer outfit. I need a tee shirt dress like that!. Shoes, hat and bag are great finishers.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 6 years ago

    Thanks everyone!
    Karen13, this outfit went to the dentist! And hosted family for dinner, but I didn't wear the hat indoors for that. Or carry the bag, for that matter.
    Shevia, thank you. I'm so NOT a hat person. I've finally found a few that I like to wear in recent years.

  • Jenn replied 6 years ago

    I feel like hats go a long way towards bringing any summer dress up a notch, but this dress doesn't even need it. Great hot weather outfit!

  • Sara L. replied 6 years ago

    Wow, great dress!  I want it!  I like your light accessories and the hat is cute.

  • jill58 replied 6 years ago

    You have such a great sense of your own style. I love the way you dress and this outfit is no exception! I can't believe you made that dress--wow.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 6 years ago

    Thank you so much, everyone.
    Lisap, I've missed hanging around the forum. I've been busy with other things--bicycling, mostly! Which is a lot of fun, too.
    Jenn, you are an inspiration with hats. You wear yours so well.
    Jill, what a sweet thing to say!

  • Beth Ann replied 6 years ago

    Chic and arty!  I love the length of the sleeves.  It's so hard to find this length anywhere!

  • Bijou replied 6 years ago

    Beautiful, this dress is wonderful.

  • replied 6 years ago

    Your handiwork is wonderful, the dress is so charming & the outfit is perfect on you.

  • Berkeley Girl replied 6 years ago

    Oh, it’s great. Charming is the perfect word, the whole outfit is so charming and summer-y. It’s a very put-together look without looking overly “done.” I love the sandals.

Welcome to my style blog. Dressing is something all of us do each day, but for me it is also a hobby. I like to find new ways to wear the clothes I have, make new clothes to add to my wardrobe (yes, sewing is another hobby!), shop for clothes, read and discuss fashion. Following You Look Fab has fueled my interest in taking outfit pictures to see where I've been and to get different perspectives on style. Thanks for joining me. I always appreciate hearing your thoughts.
