soft and light...




Believe it or believe it not, Carlow is having a lovely day. I hope it's the same for everybody... 

I went to work in a denim shirt and ski pants thinking it wouldn't be all that beautiful out. Thankfully, I was wrong and as soon as I came home I was out of the heavy black and into the super light and super soft white. This dress is the perfect summer dress in my opinion, it's comfy yet still fitted, it's white (which as you all know reflects the light away to keep one all cool and lovely) and it's really cute. Little house on the prairie and all that shiz. AND all those little holes make it very airy! Perfection... The only thing I am not to pleased about is how low this dress is for a 'day dress'. It's grand for some people but I always feel like Bosoms MaGee most of the time anyway so it's not the best. Tis simply rectified with a lace body underneath though. Result!

To follow on in the comfort and coolness stakes I pinned back my hair loosely and donned chunky sandals. Now to find somewhere cool to work...

day to day...




This is quite similar to my day to day wear if I've got nothing on or nowhere to go... These days consist on working on FELT and other freelance projects, walking the dog, chilling with the boyfriend, cooking food and reading magazines. I have been jumping through loose tees (I seriously have a thing for them lately) skinnies/ski-type pants and clogs/ankle boots. A simple enough combination that I think works out ok. Not the most dazzling of outfit creations but for days when you want to be comfortable then I suggest this. At least I don't un-stylish when I wear it. My hair is up today though, which I hate but I was lazy (shameful). I tend to keep it down as much as I can because I really don't think it suits me up...

I love both these clog/sandals and this tee (though I realise now I look kinda pregnant in it, which is probably not the best look). The sandals are super comfy and are great for those over-cast days that are still sticky but you don't dare put on your favourite summer dress for fear of looking like a fool. And I still love this tee... In the mirror I think it looks quite flattering but I could be wrong. Damn deceitful mirror! It's still cool and chic and comfy... And comfort is my main priority this summer since I can't predict what the weather will decide to do next.
