what to wear today.

Hi there! You know what we haven't done in a while over here? Gotten dressed. Way back when, I used to do a mood board almost every week depending on the season, the circumstance, and my mood. Let's revisit that today because dressing for Summer (even though it's straight up cold here right now) has always been extremely intimidating to me. 

Right now you're going to want to layer the shit out of your outfit, but the summer foundation can be there.

top // cardigan // denim // sunglasses // shoes

Shorts are a long way off, so can we just start things off with some light colored levi's? They're also cropped. You can thank me later for how beautiful your tush will look in these. All I want to do is wear this cardigan, but that's never going to happen, so I love the above version by J. Crew for the cuteness + function. It looks preppy at first glance but with this outfit it just looks fresh. And slides. They're everywhereeeeee and are a great opportunity to add on a heel to any outfit. Throw away your flip-flops. Seriously. 

Psst - Astorians! Nicole sells Le Specs at The Brass Owl if you want to go try some on!

And that's all I've got for you today.

Who else is positively sick of this weather!? It just makes me kinda bummed! That Walter Baker jacket up top sure put a smile on my face, however. Sometimes, when the weather is like this, I just want to throw on sweats and not care what I look like. I do find, though, that dressing the opposite of how you feel usually has a blissful effect on one's mood. I'm going to try it today...check out my Instagram and see what I come up with!

(PS- What do you all think about my mood board?! I'm loving using photoshop for the blog - it just makes everything look cleaner, and proposals for clients (!!) are going to be a snap.)
