Fun skirt? Check. Big belt? Check. Checks? Check.





This outfit is the epitome of my style. It's a little quirky and unexpected, but still classy and not wacky enough where you're like, "What the mother fuck is she wearing?" At least, that's what I think. Maybe you are thinking, "What the mother fuck is she wearing?" Maybe you think, "What the mother fuck is she wearing?" all the time. And to that I say, "Clothes." Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!

I'mma let you in on a not-so-secret secret: summer has finally arrived, and I. LOVE. SUMMER. If summer were a person, I would get its number and ask it out on a date. Assuming it accepted (which, of course, it would! Look at this face!), I'd prepare a nice candlelit dinner for it (on a beach, no less. It is, after all, summer) consisting of pasta and wine, and a little bit of asparagus to get it in the mood. I'd give summer a sensual back massage, and, when the timing was right, I'd look into its eyes and ask summer to make love to me. Summer would oblige my request and we would make sweet, gentle whoopee into the wee hours of the morning. We eventually would fall asleep, locked in each other's warm embrace, me whispering sweet nothings into summer's ear, summer nibbling my shoulder*. In the morning, we would part and be on our separate ways. But I would call summer back the very next day, begging for more. (Summer would eventually end up filing a restraining order against me for stalking loving it so much, but we don't need to talk about that.)

In conclusion, I love summer. I have two plans for this Saturday: 1) bikini, 2) sun. I'm so glad it's already Thursday tomorrow...

  1. I really like the blazer and the skirt. Once upon a time not very long ago I DIY'ed a blazer, turned a man's suit jacket into a way funner version of a woman's blazer with some ruffles around the neck and added some shirred sleeves to it and it turned out pretty good if I say so myself. And I have only worn it like two times, it's in my closet, buried, and every time I look at it it yells at me how much I suck for not wearing it.

    I have a love-hate kind of relationship with summer, while I like it that it's obviously warmer and nicer than winter, I hate to bare my limbs. And then I see everyone wearing short shorts, sleeveless tops and I start getting cold sweats and seizures. I just cannot fathom the idea of wearing anything relatively skimpy.

    And a long time ago I ordered a restrain order against bikinis and swimsuits, they can't get anywhere near me, and if my husband mentions them and suggests I wear them, I tend to suggest divorce haha. No way Jose, No way.

    I like styles that are totally unexpected, they tell a whole lot about personalities, they are original, a breath of fresh air and they never disappoint :)

  6. I feel... the exact opposite with summer. I wish spring weather was year round. I'm sweltering!

    Hold up, you're wearing a jacket in summer?1?!

  7. I would meet Summer in a club and take it home with me. It would never call me back and I would always remember it as a great time, but cry about it when I was drunk.

    Ahem.

    Anyway, you look awesome. As always.

  8. So cute! I love the way the skirt flares in the back, it's reminiscent of old-fashioned gowns. http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/

  9. I love your skirt, it's definitely fun and cute! I'm not really a big summer person...it's fun for a while. I like that I'm off from college and I can go swimming...but too much heat annoys me, after like 3 days of 90 degree weather, I'm over it...wishing for snow! lol! There's always air conditioning to hide in though. :)

  13. This is one of my favorite outfits you've put together, I must say. That skirt is classic. I love it.

    Also, you look so much like Emma Stone. Have you been told that before? HA

  14. That's pretty much how I feel about summer, but I'm not even letting it leave in the morning. I'll break my own rules and cook breakfast! I'm kind of bitter because I've arrived in summer-city here, and the forecast is for five days of "heavy rain."

    ReplyDelete

  15. Yes I agree!!! Sweet love with summer all year long!! Can I move to French Polynesia please??? Amazing outfit!! So "you"! I need a skirt like that (and a horse, cause it'll look good). Kisses :)

  17. Well, WTF is she WEARING?!?! Ha ha... Nah, a short-long skirt is so much more interesting, and the whole look is just perfect for you.

    I'm very much your rival for summer lover. Sad thing is (s)he never arrives here in the UK. Could it be (s)he got lazy in your arms? LET GOOOOO!

  18. I am loving that skirt and when summer and i hook up we will be stealing it away from you!

  19. I was going to oooohhhh!!! about your fabulously cute skirt but then you went and bowled me over with your comic-writing. Now I don't know what to praise. You hit me with a left jab (skirt) only to set me up for a roundhouse hook (story) which leaves me lying on the canvas, staring straight up, wondering what the hell happened...

    ReplyDelete

  20. I agree! I'm so glad warm weather has finally arrived. I've loved romping around in a tank and denim and little else. I hope you have a great time this weekend!

  21. I love summer too, but where I come from it's hot all year round so it's not much of a difference. But stores stock wonderful stuff this season.

    You have a charming attitude! So hilarious and brazen and unexpected all at the same time! I love it!

    ReplyDelete

  22. I love summer too. I'd totally go to third base with it if I could ; ) I love your belted blazer! Enjoy the sun this weekend!

    ReplyDelete

  23. Wonderful outfit, I love the skirt. Great great vibe!

  25. Aaaah, summer- definitely my favorite season too! I love the sun, the vacation time, and wearing little clothing! ;) But I'm used to a dry, desert kind of heat, so I'm not sure if I'll love summer as much when I'm sweltering on the East Coast!

    ReplyDelete

  26. You know, I really love how quirky yet classy your style is! I also love summer, but at the moment here in the Pacific Northwest summer thinks we've divorced or something because I have yet to see its face. :(

    ReplyDelete

  27. Hahahaha! Your passage on summer loving was just brilliant! I actually love you! I think I laughed so hard I coughed up a lung... :S

    Your style rocks. It is quirky but it's what makes you unboring (if that's a word...) and not a cookie cutter mould of everybody else which is fabulous dahhhling x x

  28. Saw this and thought I love your skirt. Then I realised I loved your belted jacket too. So actually, I love all of this. You look amazing (as always).

  29. [don't worry, i didn't know who lily was until I saw the photos...and I didn't even look her up ;)...so you did more research than me, haha]

  30. haha thanks for that awesome comment, I totally have a girlcrush on you too. You are just hot and in your face and I love that.

    PS summer would totally be my main F*** bud too, he always gets me in the mood.

  32. Love the skirt and jacket together. Would you mind if I stole them for the cold, windy, wet, horrid weather we're having? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete

  33. Great skirt. Glad to see you wearing it again. I love it and it looks so great on you.

    You are hilarious. I continue to read all your posts out loud to my husband and we both laugh, literally, out loud.

    I too love summer. But in order to have it during normal months, I have to go out of Norther Cali to get it. Luckily I'm headed to NYC next Saturday!! Can't WAIT.

    xoxo,

  41. Hahahah you crack me up making sensual love to summer! I also have a love hate relationship with summer because I'm so pale and I hate burning and freckling so I end up spending my time in the shade (and continuing to look as pale as the underbelly of a fish!) Clothing wise I LOVE this outfit- the skirt is so fun and unexpected and the boots give it enough of that rocker chic look you pull off so well!

    ReplyDelete

  42. Check out the checks! You look gorgeous, as ever. I do like summer - but not as much as you, haha! xx

    ReplyDelete

  43. Absolutely love this set but what I appreciate most about it are the photographs themselves. They have a really eerie quality that goes marvellously with the quirky ensemble.

    I'm not a summer person, that I will admit, but as I live in England it's often just a welcome dose of sun that doesn't last too long so that's ok by me.

  44. the skirt is lovely! and i really want your shoes :)

  46. You always look amazing and this outfit is no exception! I love your blazer, and when you describe summer that way, it makes me think that it would eventually stop returning all of our phone calls:) xx
