I still can't believe how some people can still layer this deep into summer...I'm so jealous! I wore this light linen blazer out the other day around Tim's place and it was so ridiculously hot (it got up to 104 F this week) that I had to take it off! I just foolishly wanted to believe I could possibly wear anything other than a breezy dress and a coat of sweat. Speaking of breezy dresses, this polka dot number fits right into my summer wardrobe. I was hoping polka dots would be more readily available this summer at local stores but alas, it is not (instead it is tribal/70's everything right now...) so I was extremely glad for this dress. Some of you asked about the nature backgrounds in some of the pictures (and how I managed to get there for outfit photos)...I swear I didn't trek a long way just to take the outfit pictures! For example, the creek pictured above is literally 30-40 footsteps away from Tim's front porch and about 3 steps away from his dirt driveway. In other news, life currently includes watching lots of movies at the Alamo Drafthouse, researching/studying, napping in the countryside on the weekends, and partaking in midnight idyllic grocery store trips to the frozen desserts aisle. I've had people recognize me from the blog at HEB before but thankfully not while I was singing/dancing along to Backstreet Boys/Cher/something else equally embarrassing blasting on the intercom...

  1. I LOVE this whole look! Perfect for summer weather, even if the blazer was a little too hot! How lucky for you that even though you live in the city it is still really easy for you to be outside by beautiful places like this creek.
    I am really quite jealous of your warm days, in Tahoe we have been having so much snow(still!) and had our warmest day in weeks today with a high of only 39 degrees. Goodness! Roll on summer, I say!

  2. I actually have the print of your blazer in a vintage dress and layer it also. So of course I will agree that it is a good look. And I love the scenery behind you!

  3. I love the mixture of patterns, such a pretty spring look. Glad you were able to capture some of the layers!

  4. Floral blazers are lovely even if it is too hot to wear them in the summer. I feel your jealousy there. Even minor layering is so routine for me that I have to force myself to cut back every summer.

    Polka-dots look great on you too!

  5. Me too! I like mixed patterns, textiles, etc. Highs and lows. I think my favorite is leather and chiffon. Kudos on handling the heat gracefully! DC is pretty bad too right now.
    If you don't mind me asking, which lens are you using?

  12. Amazing! I pretty much love everything about summer and hate everything about winter. BUT, I do enjoy layering, and am sometimes bummed when it's too hot for that. But I guess that's what spring and autumn are for. Winter is still useless. Love this blazer. And three cheers for polka dots!
