this month the weather changes from can't-stand-it-hot to something a little cooler. as i write this, we have the doors and windows open and i'm wearing jeans! these are the days!
i've been evaluating my warm weather pieces and realized that i only really wore 15 pieces all summer long. it sounds weird to me too. the number of items felt like plenty since i liked each piece quite a bit. i never wore three of the layers i put into this wardrobe... i sold a jumpsuit... and i ended up letting the indigo top go this month since i never wore it (actually, i'm going to make it into a top for julia). i didn't feel like wearing my mexican dress this season, but i'm keeping it for now. i bought my now favorite thrifted black linen tank... good purchase. and that second white linen dress that i bought on our trip this summer... well, i knew i didn't need another one, but i'm keeping both of them for now.
so now... september... and what i hope will be some cooler days. i'm feeling jeans and bare arms... faded denim, white linen and natural leather (what else is new?). i sewed a new top from the most amazing rust colored linen. the thrifted faded lee jeans i found in topanga canyon are ready to go... and i'm contemplating finally buying my dream shoes (since my gum soled tennies melted!! during our trip).
tops:
-black tee (fair)
-white tee (fair)
-black linen tank (thrifted)
-white linen tank (thrifted)
-rust top (made)
-black + white flowered (made)
bottoms:
-vintage crop flare levis (thrifted)
-vintage faded lees (thrifted)
-skinny jeans (madewell from a few years ago)
one-pieces:
-black jumpsuit (fair)
-cream jumpsuit (made)
layer:
-grey cardigan (8-10 years old-target)
shoes:
-clog sandals (fair)
-flip-flops (fair)
-toms
total: 15
i've been wearing these pieces since the beginning of september... and look forward to the rest of the month too!
love,
jane
