Weekend Comfort over Style: Black Sack Dress

Dress: Forever 21; Necklace: J Crew; Hat: Lulu Guiness; Purse: Louis Vuitton; Heels: INC for Macy's

Sometimes on the weekend, especially on Sunday, all I can handle is a sack dress.  Is this very flattering...no.  But, after being zipped and tucked and pinned in all week long, it is the best that I can manage.  Stacked clogs (aka shoes of death), a hat, and necklace complete the look. 

Tip: Always try to buy casual dresses that are 100% cotton.  It will allow you to cool off a lot better than synthetics.

Summer Beach Style for the City

Hat: Lulu Guinness; Earrings: Vintage; Necklaces: J Crew and from NYC art market; Top: Topshop; Jeans: American Eagle; Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs; Purse: Tory Burch; Sandals: J Crew

These photos were shot after being caught in a torrential downpour and then sitting in a freezing air conditioned movie theatre watching The Bling Ring.  They show exactly why I will be wear a variation of this outfit all summer long.  Covered, but cool and with just enough accessories to make it interesting. 

I love gold accessories when I have a tan. 

This white shirt is perfectly cool and breathable and has an interesting shape for long necklaces.  I wish that I had bought it in more colors, but I can't find it on the US site! Perfect lesson to learn: if you like something and it fits well and is versatile, buy it in more than one color! 

I love hats mainly because I am not good at doing my hair and it hides a multitude of sins. 

Hope you can stay just as cool wherever you are.
