I went with Angie's casual dress ensemble for a hot day. The outfit had to take me to work in an air conditioned store and to a play afterward in a theater without A/C.
The outfit: gray with black brushstrokes dress with draped pockets (made by me); black cropped, 3/4-sleeved zipper jacket (Halogen); black sling-back Mary Janes (Think!); black satchel (Elliott Lucca); black cuff with silver studs; silver spiral disc earrings. I wore the jacket off and on as needed in the air conditioning. My super comfortable sling-back Mary Janes had to fill in for "on trend" footwear!
Thanks for looking! Thoughts and suggestions are welcome!
