dress, scarf, & shoes: madewell jacket: mm vintage

I started off my morning wearing only this plaid dress. As the day went on, I kept adding more and more pattern to my ensemble. First a red scarf because I felt like I needed color. Then a camo jacket because I had a moment of Kanye stalking and felt I needed to infuse a little more Yeezy into my outfit. While I added additional layers to my dress, I love it because it doesn't need anything else. It drapes in a way that allows me to eat good but doesn't make me look pregnant. And it has my most favorite type of sleeves, which are ones you can roll and still keep the sleeve long. I'm not trying to look like a bro who pushes up his sleeve to show off his arms. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I do not exercise. Hence my incessant need to be drowning in my clothes. Now let me explain while I love this jacket. It's light enough to tie around my waist. How many times have you tried to tie a jacket around your waist only to have it fall down because it's too heavy? This jacket doesn't do that and it also is the perfect gateway jacket to tide me over until I'm ready for a more heavy layering piece. Alright, I'm done talking. Just sit back and enjoy these photos of my because I think it might be the last time you see my legs for a while. More to come!

dress: madewell shoes: topshop sunglasses: vintage

There's not much too this outfit because there's not much I can wear without dripping in sweat. I'm so sick of summer, and my lack of A/C is entirely the reason why I can't take it anymore. I also have very pale skin that does not handle direct sunlight very well. All the more reason why it's kind of shocking I bought this sleeveless dress. My skin needs to be sheltered. I'm also not a huge fan of my arms. I know I'm not Michelle Obama toned, so why show them at all? I was very set on wearing this dress layered, but in 90 degree heat that's definitely not an option. I'm sure I will go on to layer this with a turtleneck, but until then enjoy the sight of my stark whiteness. I paired this dress with my fake birkenstocks because I must have really not cared that day and some vintage sunglasses that I have been way too rough on. They're already missing a piece where they sit on my nose and scratched too many times, but they didn't come with a case so it's not my fault. Overall, I'm just excited for a time when I can wear pants again. I'll just keep on keeping on - and majorly sweating in the meantime - until the day finally comes when jackets are weather appropriate. More to come!

jumper: zara shoes: pony 

I've worn this jumper about a million times, but this is the first time I've been satisfied with the picture I've gotten in it. I also have this weird mentality where I feel like I can never wear something again after I've posted about it on Instagram. It's completely illogical and pretty unsustainable, hence why it has taken me to long to write about this piece. This jumper is basically getting me through the summer because it's so breathable baggy and strapless. I don't feel like I'm suffocating in the heat, even though I'm suffocating in the heat. I paired it with white sneakers because when am I not in white sneakers. They're a brand called Pony, an acronym for People of New York, the actual location of said photo shoot. They were super cheap at Madewell, but I do feel like I'm cheating on Adidas. Fun fact, these sunglasses are missing the padded piece that rests on your nose, but I loved how they went with this outfit, so I ignored that fact for the sake of a photo. I can't wait for summer to be over, quite honestly. It's when my sartorial choices really nose-dive because I can't think in the heat and because I would rather be drowning in clothes. Soon enough winter will come, along with a whole new list of clothing-related complains because I'm never not complaining. More to come!
