Tee Dress with a Twist

Hello, welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

 I live in Maryland, 

and October is a most glorious month here, weather-wise

For the most part, it is in that warm sweet spot-

 mostly sunny, with temperatures in the 70's 

In retail-land however, the world is ramping up for fall,

 and has been since when...July? 

 I like to savor the end of the summer season,

 and revel in the beautiful transitional weather outside

 

It will be a week or two 

 until I seriously start changing out my wardrobe

for the chillier months ahead

For now, during these wonderful bridge months,

 I am adapting by wearing some seasonable color,

 light layers, more substantial jewelry and accessories,

and some darker florals

Since I live on an island, that is off a peninsula,

 I am literally surrounded by water 💦

You can probably imagine the enthusiasm for water sports, here

Almost everyone in the area

 wants to stretch out the time they can enjoy them

🏊‍♀️🏄🏼‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛵️🚤

This is one of those places where some people doggedly 

wear shorts and flip-flops until it snows!

(Not me, though)

  Is this type of determination to keep the summer alive

 seen in your area?

For today I am styling a supremely comfortable outfit 

 with a teal short sleeve wrap tee shirt dress

It is so unbelievably soft, yet constructed of a substantial knit

I love the draped and gathered wrap style,

 and think in elevates this simple dress

I picked out some gold and brass tone jewelry pieces

 that I wear all year round

My birds-in-flight statement necklace, 

open organic shaped cuff bracelet

and wreath stud earrings

Carrying a quilted denim clutch

with a detachable wrist strap

Neutral two tone tan block heel Maryjanes to finish the look

Below, a photo of Roger and I this summer

I am wearing the same dress with lighter accessories,

and he has chosen a fun matching geometric print tie

Teal is a great transitional color 

Here is as outfit in the color from the archives:

Autumn 2019!

  A sheer tie waist print blouse in teal, black and shades of blue

 paired with a teal pleated midi skirt 

Getting in the spirit of the season with a fall theme centerpiece of found objects and a market gourd

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
