Hello, welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
For this week's post, I am styling a lightweight jacket
over a sleeveless dress
This combination is a great option for a summer day,
when you know you are going to be in and out
of overly air conditioned spaces
Do you have this dilemma where you live?
Today it is humid and steamy,
with a forecast of 7 straight days of rain!
This is a little unusual for this time of year, for us
I chose this bright blue three-quarter sleeve blazer
to wear over a retro 70s look stylized floral print dress
The dress is a true wrap style and the outfit is very classic,
but the print is a little bit "extra"
The colors are in shades of blue, violet and white
All week, I will be wearing brights
to cheer me up during the gloomy weather!
☔️🌧️☔️⛈️☔️🌦️☔️
as the temperature dictates,
and I still know I will be presentable
in the dress underneath
I also wore this dress back in the spring on the blog,
for my Easter post, styled with a cardigan over it
Swirling psychedelic print!
My accessories are a bit mid century modern in style,
in keeping with the retro look print of the dress
Carrying a white boxy handle bag with square closure detail
For jewelry, a white true vintage 1950's
expansion cuff bracelet,
and silver tone loop design earrings
Also, a white wired crinkle fabric hair band
All the white details in this outfit!
White patent leather Mary Jane sling backs to finish the look
In my continuing series of items
leaving my closet this spring season,
I am consigning this white blazer style jacket
The jacket is lined, and a heavy cotton duck fabric,
that is very stiff. It is bright white, and really
only looks right in the spring and summer,
but it is too warm and heavy for summers in Maryland
I purchased this jacket on Poshmark, several years ago
It is a classic, and I love the two large flapped pockets,
and the quality is there, it is from Banana Republic
This purchase was a lesson for me,
in the need to get all of the details
possible before purchasing
Some things, like fabric weight
can be a bit difficult to determine in photos
Here is one of the times I wore this jacket,
over a sporty short sleeve dress in spring 2023
Why not play with your food?

design plate for us with summer fruit-so cute!
Hope you enjoy your week!
