Summer Time, Summer Time Madness

It's summer time, summer time madness and that calls for shorts. Miami becomes a hot yoga room and all we can think about is how little garments we can pull off on the streets. I rarely wear shorts, but these were just too hot to pass, not to mention that these will be the last few days I wear shorts before I go to winter wonderland and pounds of clothing is the norm. Miamians do lots of complaining when it comes to humidity and heat but take them out of Miami and into the cold, they cry and whimper because they miss those sweaty nights and that is exactly what I will be doing in a few months. For now though, I will enjoy my last few days and try to get a really good tan (wink).

Hippie into Spring

Top & Pants: Atikshop Brickell| Sunnies: Forever 21| Rings: M-16, Nina Cortes "the X" ring c/o| Bag: C. Madeleine's - vintage

 

found this outfit at the very last minute and in a really unexpected shopping trip I did while walking my doggie. I wore this outfit to my nephew's baptism and was a great start to show off some spring attire.  The best part of this whole ensemble is that it has a bit of a late 60s and 70s look about it. Since I felt that for the past four months I had been wearing black and grey, I needed a pick-me up outfit and after having a very difficult week, one that I had not experienced in a very long time I needed something to cheer me up. funny how what you wear can ignite different feelings and moods, that is why I always believe in looking your best at all times so that you can be at your best at all times. Wearing what makes you feel confident and beautiful should be a daily routine, trust me you get more accomplished.

 

do you have an outfit that cheers you up the minute you put it on? or an outfit that makes you feel confident? please do share.

Palazzo Zazzo

Top: Paper Crane// Sunnies: Karen Walker (find them here)// Necklace & Bangle: Forever 21// Wrislet: C. Madeleine's (vintage)// Pants: Atikshop Brickell// Shoes: Zara

these Palazzo pants caught my eye from the start at my favorite boutique in Brickell - Atikshop, they have amazing stuff at reasonable prices and they are having a semi-annual sale now so run who knows what will be left. When I tried the pants on they fit just right and since I didn't own any Palazzo pants since I was in 10th grade where I had a pair that I wore out till they did not fit any more I had to have them. The best part about these pants is that they are transitional, where you can take them from summer to fall. That means it is a great investement piece, plus you can wear them to work as well. I wore this outfit to the Touch Boutique - Touch Style Challenge on June 7, 2012 (see a recap here). I love these pants, can't wait to find more ways to style them.

in other news, I am excited but very nervous for tonight's Fashion Bloggers Do It Better - Summer Edition event (see info here). It will be my first time walking a runway of any sort and I am just praying I come out alive. I hope to see you there and if you have TWITTER and are going to be tweeting about the event make sure you hashtag #FBDIB2. See you tonight.
