Striped shirt: Target, remixed * Skirt: Little Ocean Annie Vintage * Two-tone brogues: UO, remixed
I've been such a punk this week with posting! I'm usually pretty good about posting everyday, especially during the week, but this week time has just gotten away from me and I haven't been able to spend any time online. I've been taking pictures, but now I'm even more behind than I was a little while ago. Whew! Joe and I will be on vacation for a week in early July, though, so I'm planning (hopefully, but who knows) to have enough time before then to schedule a few posts for while we're away (just FYI, by the way, I won't be checking email, commenting, or reading blogs at all while we're gone. I'm aiming for a week of complete separation from the internet).
So it's been absolutely batshit crazy in Chicago lately. Apocalyptic storms, green clouds, big ol' tornadoes (complete with tornado siren!), and the wildest yellow/orange skies I've ever seen. What I mean is, it's been muggy as hell. So muggy that my contacts fog over if I'm outside for too long. So muggy that I think the inside of my mouth is cooler than the outside world (gross, I know, but totally true). So muggy that even the thought of putting my hot computer on my lap seems absolutely blasphemous (seriously, whoever came up with the idea for a laptop never lived in a hot climate). Now, normally I'm okay with warm weather, but this is beyond warm. This is painful, uncomfortable, and sticky. Not okay, Chicago, not okay.
All that mugginess totally calls for minimal clothing. This adorable skirt, that I bought from Little Ocean Annie's Etsy shop (she has great stuff, and a lovely blog!), is definitely going to be a summer favorite. The print is adorable, it fits me perfectly, and it's open and breezy (but it's also lined, so I think it will be fabulous in the winter with tights, too!). And my love affair with stripes barrels forward with this tan shirt. Honestly, I just can't seem to say no to a good stripe! Plus, this jersey top is just perfect for a day of sweating bullets.
How do you stay cool in the summer swelter? Does your commitment to the internet suffer?
