Summer Vibes: Staying Cool with Flowy Clothes

June 13, 2022 /

My goal this summer is to stay cool and enjoy the outdoors while not sticking to furniture and getting bit by mosquitoes and no see ums! One way to do that is to wear flowy items in breathable fabrics. I shopped my closet (I do love my collection of loose flowy pants) to put together this light summer look.

I first shared these pants in this post, after seeing them on Martha from Marsha in the Middle. The hem is really cute, the fabric light and while I have tried them with different tops, I like them best with white. I chose my new Target sandals (that replaced that pair that was too small) and boy let me tell you these are cute and comfortable!

The gauze tie shirt was a find at TJMaxx last year and I like that it long sleeves. It works over dresses quite well. You may have noticed (or not) my new watch: I ordered a Garmin 45s running watch for Mother’s day as it was on sale and my fitbit was a goner and I love it! I really wanted it for my runs and it gives me the data I need, is easy to use and I can actually see the numbers on it. The face is large without being super oversized.

In the summer months, I like to wear a hat when in direct sun. I typically always have my sunglasses on my person or purse even in winter. I don’t spend much money on them as I tend to drop them or scratch them.

I actually wore the outfit below most of the day but since I had worn the top a few times in some blog posts (here is the latest), I thought I would try something different.

The picture give you a nice view of the sandals and my sentimental accessories: a bracelet I got on a field trip in middle school in France and wood earrings which were a gift from Thailand from my brother. In the pictures above, I am wearing a pearl and gold necklace that belonged to my grandmother. She had bought in the Virgin Islands on a cruise. I am finding myself drawn to my more sentimental jewelry lately especially pieces that were my grandmother’s.

A bientôt!
