Yup … I road-tested my bare legs this year in mid-April — that’s surely some kind of record. And they held up fine, although several bystanders may have felt the need to call the Ghostbusters. It was a nice taste of what’s to (hopefully) come this summer, and I can’t wait. Next up: sandals. I dipped my toe (har har!) with some peep-toes this time around, but I think I’ll have to wait until I have time for a pedicure before I venture further. Hey, another reason to love summer — who doesn’t want an excuse to get pampered?
I have no idea if knotting one’s shirt at the midriff is still considered cool, but I enjoyed this option as an alternative to tucking it in. With a high waisted skirt (which this is not, but more on that in a minute), there is very little downside to it, at least from a comfort level. As for the skirt itself, the heavy pleats allowed me to pull off one of my fave “no-sew” DIY alterations: I safety-pinned the waistband on one side to make the waist smaller (and therefore higher), and hid the evidence under my knotted shirt. See, everything just makes sense now, doesn’t it? Well, a girl can hope …
Gorgeousness!
Really digging the classic Raybans too. I want a mirrored pair (maybe in white) but worrying it won’t suite my chubbier face…damn you baby cheeks still around at 34!
I wish I could help — I’m useless at picking flattering frames. A friend of mine usually tells me what to buy, LOL!
I’ve never seen the white mirrored Raybans, but they sound fierce.
In the winter you wear nylons? Those are enough to keep your legs warm?
Yes, I do. I wear boots (with knee-high socks usually), and that’s enough to keep me relatively unfrozen on my commute — but I spend less than 10 minutes outside in total so keep that in mind. It’s probably not a strategy that would work otherwise.
