What I'm Dreaming Of...Apricot & Butter

Summer Outfit #4
Summer is slowly winding down and before we know it, fall will be here.  Gotta enjoy the the slower pace and simplicity that summer brings before it slips through my fingers!  Here is my dream summer outfit for the week...something I'd wear while spending a day in sunny LA, browsing at the Melrose Trading Post and eating cupcakes.
These embroidered Mexican style dresses are a breeze to throw on and looks chic when belted.  I love the classic accessories this girl is rockin', like the large mens watch and leather cross-body bag.  Here is my version in my favorite summer hue-apricot!

I'm Dreaming Of... A Deserted Beach (Summer Outfit #3)


This is my favorite summer dreaming outfit so far.  I love the simplicity, easiness and the desert inspired colors of this photo.  It's what you wear to the beach on one of those foggy, cool early mornings.  Bring along a warm wool blanket and a thermos of hot coffee and listen to the waves.  That's all.  And that's perfect.  
I rarely wear white, even though I appreciate the cleanness and freshness of it.  So, I'd wear a chambray sleeveless blouse instead or roll the sleeves up on the men's collared chambray top I have in my closet.  And a large blanket scarf does double duty as a cover up for chilly shoulders and as a beach blanket.  This image is from Kinfolk, found via my Pinterest.  And, it is an outfit that can be worn after the beach at an intimate dinner gathering-easy to lounge and relax in.  Here's my take on this lovely tomboy style...

Inspired By➢Whimsical Gypsy

Gypsy Tag


Gypsy Collage


Recently, my mama and I went to the movies (she loves the theater!).  She picked the film and I bought the snacks.  She loves Sherlock Holmes and Robert Downey Jr., so she naturally picked the new Sherlock movie.  It was enjoyable and funny, although it was a bit loud, I thought the Little Mister was going to bust right out of my belly at one point!  What I loved most about the film was drooling over the gypsy character, Simza's (played by the very cool Noomi Rapace) main outfit in the film!  She mostly wore this very beat-up leather hat, a tightly belted embroidered vest, form fitted blazer, a ruffled midi length skirt, beat up boots and lots of dangly jewelry.  I just loved the pairing of the different textiles, like that great printed scarf with the metal and velvet of her belt.  Also, the masculine hat and boots paired with a flowy prairie style skirt-perfection!  I am so obsessed with Sherlock's gypsy, that now I am on the lookout for anything resembling her attire to wear myself.  Although I may have to wait until after babe comes to pull together my own Inspired By outfit post for y'all!  Until then, here is my virtual gypsy outfit that's inspired by Simza's dust-covered garb from the film!
