It's time for me to face the facts: I don't know how to dress in the summer time! I am a layering queen at heart, and when it is too hot to do so, I am at a loss. I simply could not resist to pull out this flannel to layer over my sheer tank. It will be perfect for the evening, I just know it.


Wearing: f21 flannel top, random tank, UO highwaisted shorts

this is so cute!
i'm in love with your shorts, high-waisted shorts are basically my favorite summery item.
i'm addicted to layering as well, i always feel incredibly bare wearing just a tank top even if it's ninety degrees outside :)

Winnie said...

Ooh I love the shirt! Also loving that studded bracelelt too!

Diane said...

I'm also at a loss when it comes to summer wardrobes! I wanted to layer up so badly today but when I walked out, the 90 degree heat punched me in the face. I just went with it, though, and drove to an air-conditioned store.

I love this outfit of yours - the flannel top is the perfect addition!

Love the shorts. I agree with you--one layers feel so...unfinished sometimes.

Nataly said...

Soo well dressed!

indigotangerine said...

great shorts. I totally know what you are talking about, in the summer i can't seem to wear anything besides shorts and a tank top. I guess that's when you bring out the crazy accessories and silk scarves?

I'm a sucker for plaid and that is indeed one of the world's most perfect plaids. I like the shorts and bracelets, too.

HoneyBunny said...

You look adorable! Love this outfit..and that bag is haunting me!;))
I think I might have the same problem, except for the fact that for me there are no summers in Scotland;D I miss real summers in my home country:))

Laura Mullins said...

you look great!! but i'm not sure how long you're going to be able to get away with flannel... haha. good news, though: i just checked the weather for today, and the high is only 80!

p.s. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN LIKE TWO HOURS!!!!

missDTM said...

i had the same revelation the other day--what am i going to do in the summer time when i so desperately want to layer yet it's too hot to deal with clothes?

part of me thinks that running around in strappy dresses might be the key...with a sweater stashed away in my bag!

Tough Cookie said...

Rebecca said...

Those shorts are awesome! I also have a hard time dressing for summer, due to layering tendencies. I'm hoping I can find some sundresses that I feel comfortable wearing without extra layers!

lly jyn said...

Love the flannel. I steal my BFs from time to time :)

M said...

kimvee said...

I love how you mixed the stripes & plaid together, very unique :) This look is casual yet dressy, I love your gold accessories & black pumps, it definitely completes your outfit. ;]

jess said...

I don't know how to dress in the summer either. I love your shorts the buttons on them are adorable.

Stain On My Red Shoes said...

I think it's a perfect way to dress in the summer. When you feel hot, you can just take the flannel off, right?! :)

The shorts are what I love the most.

Seeker said...

Those accessories are great!!!!
And I know the feeling, in summer seems we don't give the final touch....

Hope you'll have a great weekend

xoxo

$ouLphate said...

Annabel said...

i can't dress for summer either yet i find myself wishing for the season when i'm freezing in the cold!!

Syed said...

That flannel shirt is so lovely! And wow, the shorts look great, love the buttons :) I'm struggling with the adjustment to warmer weather too, I went out with three layers on today and only realised something was wrong once I reached the end of the road lol.

Anonymous said...

i have the same problem! something about a tank and shorts doesn't seem like enough! i LOVE this look! and who cares, there's AC everywhere so you need the flannel anyway...

Anonymous said...

you and i are in the same boot, every summer i feel like i need to relearn how an outfit can be made without the need of multiple layers...its just so tempting!

love the contrast between the tailored shorts and slouchy flannel shirt.

Sigh how I wish I could layer my outfits too... but it's summer all year long where I live. I love how you added that flannel shirt for color and the bangles are a great contrast too.
