Summer Days
I am waiting for the summer heat to come, it seems to be here for a moment then gone the next. Saturday we had 3 or 4 thunderstorms, sunday was gorgeous and monday it rained noooon stop. It's so confusing. I just want a few days of consistent warm weather and clear skies. DAMN.
These shorts are my go-to for this summer, high waisted, ripped up and perfect with tees, bodysuits, and kimonos. So basically all I own. All I want to is to be comfortable, especially when it starts getting really warm. I mean, if that warm weather ever decides to happen here.

It was hot hot hot here last week and it's feeling much like summer. In accordance I have busted out my denim shorts and kimono collection. I love me a good summer kimono because it lets me keep covered from getting a sunburn but also is so lightweight feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all. Damn sexy flanders
Moving right along, this body suit is a recent purchase (got it mothers day) from Workhall, they were having a buy one get one free sale and I found this bodysuit and a gorgeous silk dress that is also perfect for the summer heat. I love the colour of this bodysuit and it's quite flattering if I do say so myself, I've already worn this baby a few times. Also my feminist bling necklace is newish and I am obsessed. Say it loud and wear it proud sistas!

Bringin' Back the 'momo
In the summer I am a huge fan of kimono's, they keep the sun off my shoulders, add interest to any simple look and are cool and comfortable. This one is a recent acquisition, and I have been patiently awaiting a nice warm day to bust it out. The colour is a perfect pop and the print is Hawaiian shirt esque which makes me happy.
This LBR (little black romper) is a vintage piece I picked up this winter and have been saving as well. You can't pass on the perfect little black romper when you find it even if it's months before appropriate to wear. I have had my eye out for one for yeeeears, this one ticks all my boxes: Comfortable, Simple & POCKETS! Girl loves her some pockets, besides the little lace details along the bottom are too sweet to pass on.
Summer Time
Full Circle

So continues my Kimono saga, this was the first one I ever purchased last summer. I actually lost this after our holidays last year...but Darcy was nice to track it down and re purchase it for my birthday. What a guy! I am so glad he did because I couldn't wait to bust it out again once it got hot out.
I went shopping the other day and found a bunch of tops to try on but didn't have appropriate bottoms (workout pants ain't going to go with a cute blouse) I grabbed this skirt and it ended being the only thing I bought! Happy accidents. It fits perfect and is super comfortable for those hot summer days. I'm almost 100% certain I owned the exact same one at one point during my youth, it's all coming full circle!

Kimono Season

I have become a total sucker for a kimono these past couple summers. They're so lightweight and comfortable that they're the perfect way to finish off an outfit without being too warm. This one has such a fun tropical print that I couldn't resist. I have a problem with buying things just because the print is fun, it's something I've been getting better at as I get older. It becomes problematic when you have a closet full of clashing prints and nothing goes. Now it seems I have veered to the other side where most of my clothes are monochromatic, everything goes but there's no punch of fun. It's all about finding that sweet balance in your wardrobe, it's a lifelong battle no doubt. Guess I'll keep fighting the good fight ;)

When I went on holidays to BC last week I knew I wanted to take photos at what we like to call "the golden hour". It's so beautiful there I had the idea in my mind of how awesome they would look, and I am sure they would have, except we missed it just by a bit, so instead we have photos at dusk. Which kind of worked with the witchy woman theme I had going on with my layered necklaces and light kimono.
Sadly, this kimono was lost during this trip, left forgotten in a hotel room in Valemont, not to be returned. I am more sad than I should be over an article of clothing, I became weirdly attached to it, calling it momo. I think because it was the perfect lightweight article to throw over any summer dress or shorts and still feel put together. Alas, I will have to find another momo next year.
