Today I’m feeling a little homesick for the midwest. Even though I haven’t lived there in 18 years, I still miss their gorgeous spring/ summer weather.
Adding to my gloom is the fact it’s my nephew’s last day of school today- which means his summer starts tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here in the cold and rainy Northwest, we still have a full month of school left. ARGH!
Can you blame me for being depressed?
Anyhoo… my outfit today is based on my cargos. (By the way, I keep the pair on the right in my closet purely for comparison). The loose baggy fit makes them really comfy pants, but they are not flattering at all!
To improve the look I have swapped them out for my skinny cargos. I’ve also switched out the plain boring shoes for these booties. Now, most people in the country are probably wearing sandals today. BUT, if you live in a climate like mine- it’s too darn cold for sandals- hence the booties (with socks)!
I have paired my cargos with a white tank and a purple open cardigan. I’m showing a close up below so you can really see the color and the texture of this sweater. It’s pretty cool. Also, it’s a small detail, but on the right I have on a plain tank, and on the left I’ve switched it up for a tank with a cute little sheer panel and ruffle at the top. Small details like this make a big difference. Of course, to top it all off- I’ve added a necklace.
Enjoy your day… I’m going to try to enjoy mine. By the way, if you’re looking for summer looks- check out The Pleated Poppy. I bet there’s a bunch of cute (and summery) outfits over there…
Also, I apologize for the quality of these photos. The auto focus seems to not be working. Not sure why?!

Big hug, hope you feel better soon! It’s so dark & dreary here today I feel it too. We need some light & blue skies!!
Thanks! Yes, we definitely need some vitamin D!
By the way, your blog is adorable- you are so incredibly crafty. It’s fun to see what you do!
Thanks Megan, I am having fun figuring out how to do it. It’s quite addictive huh?! (writing blog posts, taking photos, etc)
I’m missing the mid-west too and didn’t even live there. Just tired of the rain & gloom, closed toe shoes (socks!!) and layers. I don’t think I can click over to Pleated Poppy today just because all the cheery & cute spring/summer outfits is just too much for yet another day like today. . . . . 😦
Well shoot. Clicked over anyways and feel like my light deprived eyes could have used sunglasses just for the thumbnails. . . 😉
Cute outfit, I love the skinny cargos. I’m tired of being cold, too! Where, oh where is last week’s beautiful weather? I actually wore SHORTS! In B’ham!
