Imaginary outfit: Summer wedding

I love this outfit for a summer wedding, and I realized after I put it together that it's kind of a fancier version of the sightseeing outfit I posted a week ago—they both feature similar feminine-but-muted colors, the exact same shoes and sunglasses, you get the drift. But seriously, isn't that dress perfect for warm summer nights? It looks like it would move beautifully. And flat sandals may not be appropriate for every wedding, but for the one I'm going to, they totally are. Add a gorgeous clutch (perfect for holding that pretty lipgloss and the sunglasses when the sun goes down) and a splash of my new favorite perfume and you're all set. I'd wear this in a heartbeat.

Hooray for summer. 

Imaginary outfit: Summer sightseeing

As you know, because I've been talking about it ad nauseum, I'm headed to San Diego next week for my little brother's wedding, so I thought it would be fun to put together two imaginary outfits: This one, which would be perfect for walking around and seeing the sights, and another, which I'll post next week, for a sunset wedding on a boat. I love the neutral colors in this outfit—something about the nudes in the top, bag, shoes and sunglasses just makes it feel relaxed—and of course a good book is a necessity, as is a pop of pink, just because.

how i'd wear it: gray silk dress.

when i first saw this gray dress on the j.crew factory site, i leaned back in my chair and thought, "well, that is a 'megan' dress if ever there was one." it basically incorporates all of my favorite things: the color gray, lovely material, pretty detailing and a flowy-but-still-somewhat-structured (thanks to the waistband) shape.and best of all? i could totally wear it to work. i've got awhile until it's boots-and-tights weather, but until then, i'd totally pair the dress with some nude loafer-heels and some delicate jewelry.

p.s. i can see the reason why putting together "imaginary outfits" (stephanie's are some of my favorite) is such a popular thing with bloggers -- this was so much fun, and i'm going to try to do a couple a month from now on.

falling.

i've said before -- ad nauseum -- that we floridians don't begin feeling relief from summer-warm temperatures until at least the end of october (but really november, if i'm being honest). (it's also not uncommon for us to have an 80-degree christmas.) that said, i can't stop daydreaming about fall clothes, and this outfit is one that i would wear in a heartbeat. i've got plenty of striped shirts and dark-denim jeans, but i have, for some reason, fallen head over heels for those wedges, in both the pictured animal print and this "whisky" color. i also own exactly zero blazers (i know), so i'm adding one of them to my fall shopping list, as well, and i wouldn't turn up my nose at the bag and the belt i've included here, either.

you hurry up and get here, fall.

p.s. i hope you all had excellent labor day weekends.
