Summer Uniform

My summer uniform is going to be pretty dresses, flat shoes, and my bicycle. This light cotton dress completely fits the bill. It only takes two seconds to get dressed in the morning and I feel like the proverbial million Benjamins all day long.

I'm spending the summer reading for my exams in the fall, so things are going to be pretty casual around here for a while (though I might do a little post on business dressing for warm weather, if that would interest people). Here's the back of the dress (I love the crossed straps) and a closer view of the striped pattern.



P.S. Don't forget there's still time to enter to win a Shabby Apple dress (it's so darn pretty I wish I could enter myself!).

Sneakers and Sunhats

This is from yesterday--a simple, summery outfit for a day of reading and errands. I'm trying to pare things down for summer, and I'm liking simple combinations of tees and skirts, or just dresses and flats. I am also still head over heels for these keds--so classic and comfortable and I feel like they go with just about everything.

I am super pale and burn easily, so I've been on the lookout for a big summer hat to shade my Irish skin from the sun. Yesterday, I finally found this giant floppy sunhat, which I love even though it's a bit ridiculous. Of course, I wore immediately even though it didn't exactly go with the outfit.



So this last picture is for my mom, who worries about me getting sunburned. Don't worry, mommala! Check out this hat!
