Light // stripes
I know I talk about the weather all the time (can you blame me? I’m an atmospheric scientist!), but you guys…the weather the past week or so has been my absolute favorite: 70s and sunshine. This is what I want all fall but never get for longer than maybe a week, so I’m soaking it in as much as I can—mostly by spending more time outside. We’ve been taking advantage by riding our bikes! We rode bikes with some friends downtown to grab some brunch at one of our favorite spots over the weekend and then rode along the river with my dad last night just before sunset. Safe to say my legs are feelin’ it! Can this weather stick around through the end of October? Please?
We’re nearing the end of astronomical summer and experiencing fall temperatures, so it’s the perfect time to wear an outfit that has summer vibes but would be too warm to wear in the heat of summer. My red and navy striped tee by Uniqlo is old but remains one of my favorite purchases ever. When I saw it, I ordered it immediately and even paid for shipping. If you know me, you know I hate paying for shipping so that was a huge deal! I’ve loved it ever since. ;)
Since the base color in the tee isn’t perfectly white, and since it runs shorter than other tees, it paired perfectly with my bone kick crop jeans. My navy Charlotte Olympia ‘Kitty’ flats were the obvious choice to finish the look. I’ve found myself “saving” these flats for special occasions (that never happen), so this month I’ve made it a point to wear these more and have pulled them out three times so far. They make me happy, so why not?! I need to get out of the habit of saving my best items!
