Summer sweet spot

 

The end of August and the month of September are such sweet spots weather wise

 in Maryland, the part of the country where I live

I think this is my favorite time of the year here

The intense heat of the earlier summer months is over,

 and yet the chilly fall nip in the air is not yet evident 

I would like to stay right here and savor these magic days with perfect temperatures  

and hold onto them as long as possible!

This week I am styling two bright and cheerful outfits to celebrate this lovely time of year

Let's celebrate everything, right? 

My first look has lots of warm summer color

A pinkish-coral cardigan with an orange grosgrain button placket

tucked into my festive circle and dot print skirt

I've had this skirt for a long time and love it still

It's a happy, colorful mood elevating print

 

A pop of sun-shiny orange in this vintage 60's vinyl handle bag

I love the 60's for all of the wild colors and creative use of textiles

I chose light and simple jewelry,

with a gold tone open cuff bracelet and white handmade glass bead stud earrings

I have been having fun style this white crinkle fabric wired neck scarf/headband

 all spring and summer long

White perforated slip on sneakers 👟 to finish the look 

Another outfit in a somewhat similar color combination for this time of year 

This puffed sleeve, ruffle neck top is in an abstract floral and leaf print

 in pink, orange, tan and brown

Worn with straight leg, high waisted white denim jeans

Fantastic flowers and foliage

In my wardrobe the flowers never stop blooming-no matter what the season!

Carrying my orange tweed fabric chain strap bag

Accessorizing with summer beach theme jewelry

A two tone butterfly necklace, silver tone dolphin bracelet

and coral color starfish earrings

These cork sole wedges with tan leather criss cross vamp

are summer favorites

They are so light and comfortable to wear

It's items like these that I am sorry to see show wear

because they are so indispensable  

Orange 🍊 is a bit of a theme for this post

What I was wearing at the end of summer 2019-

  a bold orange floral print skirt

Some giant red-orange poppies-

I love these delicate  late summer bloomers!

Hope everyone has a good week

What are your thoughts about the changing seasons?

I have friends in both camps-

 Those who can't wait for sweater season,

 and those who say let's linger here-it's all good!
