Is What You Have On Right Now Really 'You'? Summer Edition 2019

woman in ballgown takes in reflection

We all fall off the fashion horse sometimes, and frankly, I welcome the laziness that comes with summer. Sometimes that translates a bit too literally to our approach to getting dressed (though I say if you can stay in your jammies all day once in a while, go for it! Just let them be jammies you love).

For me, hot weather REALLY prioritizes my comfort concerns, and since we have fewer layers to play with, looks can get basic quickly. No matter your personal taste, remember that each day's outfit is a new opportunity to express yourself creatively, or otherwise. Folks (and even you) 'are pickin' up what you're puttin' down', as they say. So what are you putting down this summer?

Whether you are rocking a shift dress and architectural heels, a no-nonsense uniform of tees, cut offs and fashion sneakers, a printed caftan with strappy sandals or even Team USA gear (how inspiring are those women?!), let it speak to your internal priorities and multiple facets.  

Experimentation with clothing is a low impact way to cultivate and put forth the different parts of our true, inner selves and I believe it should be done for our own benefit above anyone else's. Want to feel like a bad ass here to slay? Show it. Channeling Mrs. Roper today? Celebrate her legacy with flow and color! Feel like playing it safer? You always have that option, too.

So on those summer days you DO have to change out of your jammies...ask yourself which you you're going to grace the day with, and dress for that. Show the world (and yourself) who you are, one day at a time.
