Summer Ain’t Over Yet
Gurl, put down that pumpkin spice latte: Labor Day may be behind us, but we still have a few weeks of sweet summertime left! Fall doesn’t officially begin until September 22nd, and since I spent the last two months wearing the same clothes from a limited capsule wardrobe, I’m going to bring out my summer stuff for as long as I can. (Plus, it’s still seventh-ring-of-Hades-hot in Florida — and you can see by my poofy just-washed hair that the summer humidity is still a thing — so it’s easy to delay the fall vibes for a little while longer.) I bought this Old Navy dress sometime around the end of spring, and it may be the most comfortable dress I own; I mean it’s basically a cotton mumu. Which is perfect for the day after a three-day weekend, because 1.) I ate a week’s worth of Weight Watchers points in two days, and 2.) If I must drag myself to work after a break, I may as well do it in something that feels like pajamas. …
Final Four
Remix #27 of 30 :: black silk dress + drape vest + nude stiletto sandals I don’t have much time to write today; I have a cooler full of hydrangeas and roses that I have to whip into bridal designs for a wedding and a bucket of sunflowers to drop into mason jars for an event downtown, and I want to breeze through it all so I can get a jump start on the weekend. If you’re interested in behind-the-scenes stuff around the flower shop, you can follow me on Snapchat or Instagram — both ‘keiralennox’ — to see what it’s like to run around like a headless chicken/be a florist. {wink} Happy Friday, friends!
Almost There!
Remix #25 of 30 :: olive wrap-front top + white ankle skinnies + suede ballet flats I’ve had a lot of fun with this summer 30 for 30 remix challenge — so much, in fact, I’m thinking of doing a fall version in October! — but I’m ready to wrap it up and let these white ankle skinnies hibernate for a while.
Double Denim
Remix #23 of 30 :: denim jacket + dark skinnies + texture knit tank + stacked heel sandals Kids went back to school last week, and like every year around this time, it feels like someone flipped a switch on our slow summer pace and lit up the flower shop with orders, weddings and events. I would really like to wrap up my summer 30 for 30 remix by the end of next week, but I’ll probably keep posts short and sweet as I savor these last few weeks of sweet summertime — I’m so sad to see it go! — and get adjusted to the upswing at work. It always takes a minute to shake off the summer lazies and get back in the swing of things. ;)
Dressed Up Denim
Remix #22 of 30 :: denim shirt + wrap skirt + blue suede heels If I still worked in an office (with a ‘creative’ dress code) I think I would wear something like this every day. The denim shirt feels modern and effortless against a printed skirt, and the pop of color in the shoes keeps things fun. This silhouette works really well on a petite curvy frame: the pencil-style skirt accentuates the waist, minimizes hips, and lengthens legs. Pretty much everything this 5’4″ girl is looking for in an outfit. (Also, fellow style bloggers, don’t you love when you get all your outfit shots done and then realize your hair elastic was on your wrist? Ugh.)
