I can't get enough of this beautiful summery weather. It seems all we do these days is walk, walk and walk. Justin's smart device tells us we walked 24 km (15 miles) this week - a lot for someone who usually spends hour after hour, day after day writing, editing and staring at the computer screen. I feel that life juices came back to my tired-after-the-long-winter body, and that fresh blood runs through my veins again. I feel that this Summer will be different for me, in my wardrobe options for one - nobody on the planet is happier than I am that stores are now filled with clothes made of linen and cotton everywhere, and you will most probably see a lot of these pieces in different combinations again and again.
Beautiful detail on the back of the shirt - makes this piece so quaintly and sweetly old-fashioned.
Sending you all lots of love and warm sunshine from my corner of the world.

ReplyDeleteand hooray for the revival of linen!

Such a great compliment coming from you, Beate! Thank you, you made me smile. :)
DeleteReally looking forward to see what you create from your linen stash. I adooooore linen, so happy it's "in" right now. I want to buy it all!
Beachy boardwalk attire! Slplendid!
ReplyDeleteI do need to get to a boardwalk in this attire!
DeleteOh thanks Natalia, we need warm sunshine here. It's cold outside, windy and cloudy. Grey. You are the sun in my eyes today. Kisses Tina
ReplyDeleteYou are so lovely - I am glad to be your sunshine for the day! :)
DeleteOh, this is such a pretty outfit! Simple, with clean lines, classic and chic. Just a little nod to retro, that gingham top, perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it, Tiina. I agree, so elegant and classic, there is something restful in it.
DeleteSummer has come in our part of the world too - facing 30-32C nowadays. I love your summery look- so comfy and relaxed and stylish. The top is really cute with those back buttons and checkered print.
ReplyDeleteOh you're serious about your Summer, Olga! :) We're just rookies when it comes to hot weather, we prefer it on the mild side.
DeleteI have one like this. It's lovely to open the buttons down the back and let the breeze blow in discretely in the heat.
ReplyDeleteI too have been walking and getting fit, and as you know, most of my wardrobe is natural fibre.
Enjoy the warmth!

I will remember your tip with buttons when the heat comes to the PNW, Jazzy!
DeleteSorry this is a little late , I have been settling in and coming to terms with a computer that I am not really familiar with.I agree with you on the cottons and linens ,so much more comfortable to wear, particularly if your Summer is as hot as the Australian Summer was. You look so ready to take on whatever Summer brings, keep enjoying that walking. xxx
ReplyDeletePlease, no apologies, my dear. Enjoy your trip - and no worries at all.
DeleteI heard a lot about your Australian summers! It was not that hot here, just about 70 F (21 C), but it felt like summer!
I hope to see these pieces again and again, love the comfy trouser, an adore the buffalo check! The red suits you! So happy you are walking and enjoying nature's bounty!
ReplyDeleteI love linen and cotton, even how it wrinkles!

Me too, Elle, I also like how linen wrinkles - beautiful texture. I notice that some brands offer pre-wrinkled linen clothing (Vivid Linen, for instance).
DeleteBuffalo check - that's the name! Thank you! I call everything "plaid" :)))
Yes, I'm looking forward to linens and cottons! Although it might be awhile before I get to wear my white linen trousers! Love the simplicity of this outfit - the promise of summer to come.

I am back to jackets myself, Jacqueline. Now it feels like Spring again here! Mini-Summer is over!
Deletelovely to see you wearing those cottons and linens and enjoying some warm weather, as you look gorgeous!!, lovely shirt, lovely details and lovely sandals too!
ReplyDeletebesos
Thank you, Monica! I think it will be my uniform this coming Summer!
DeleteI love that shirt...and the buttons on the back are very cute. Nice pants and sandals as well...I tend to opt for leather shoes most of the time, even when it comes to sandals. They're just so much more comfortable to wear and I've read that the leather is a by product from meat industry so if we don't wear leather we're doing deservice to ecology because then all that leather will become toxic waste. Maybe I'm just searching for an excuse, but a lot of people told me this. Perfect Spring combo, altogether!
ReplyDeleteI love walks, they really restore. I spend a lot of time in front of computer, so a nice walk is essential for me and it helps me recharge my batteries.
I agree with you, Ivana. Walks are so restoring. I am a different person after a good long walk. :)
DeleteFabulous outfit! You're sporting one of my all-time favourite colour palettes (red, white and black) and patterned (checks) here. This look is so classic, elegant and charming.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs,
♥ Jessica
Thank you, dear Jessica, I am very touched! :) The color of the checkered top is white and blue (which does look black from a distance). I also bought a matching piece for really hot summer days... let's see whether I'm brave enough to show it here on the blog. :)
