Hello, welcome to my blog,
and thanks so much for joining me!
Today, I decided to dress
in the color watermelon-a little tribute to summer!
Every summer I look forward
to the fresh local, seasonal fruit
available at the farmers' market
July is the best time ever for delicious
ripe watermelon 🍉
I love it, but recently I have discovered
an allergy to one of it's ingredients-bummer!
At least I can still enjoy the rest
🍑🍒🫐🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit or veggie?
The dress in my outfit today
is a classic and straightforward style,
a sleeveless fit and flare
with a V neckline and sash tie belt
The special part about it is the color-
It is a bright, practically neon watermelon hue!
Carrying a special aqua color velvet bucket bag,
with a fold over top that looks a bit like
a picnic or lunch box
I love this vintage bag from the 1950's
Although it doesn't get a lot of wear,
I like to admire how sweet and fun it is
I would love to have a glimpse of it's life
before it wound up in my closet!
I chose some light and cool silver tone jewelry
to complement this look
A twisted pavé decorated necklace,
and open cuff bracelet
I wear this bracelet a lot during the summer, especially
I'm not sure what it is about it that I love so much!
It is shimmery and a substantial size,
but a very light and open design
For earrings, turquoise colored posts
with irregular shaped stones
to mimic the color of my bag
For shoes to finish this outfit,
a pair of nude sling backs
with metal decoration
Roger is joining me today
with a coordinating outfit
I realized when I loaded this picture
his paisley tie was not visible at all...
Although not a match,
(surprisingly, no watermelon colored tie in his collection),
a very nice blend
with orange, red, blue and white
There are not many items of clothing
in my closet in the color watermelon,
but quite a bit of the similar color coral
Here is an outfit with a coral color jacket
from summer 2020 that I still wear and enjoy
And here is the white lace cropped topper
worn over a different dress,
an aqua butterfly print, from summer, 2023
I'll be back next week with another summer outfit
and an item leaving my closet,
from my long overdue purge!
Hope you all have a great week,
appreciating all of your favorite summer pastimes!
