It was hot. That thick, steamy hot that happens before a summer thunderstorm. The kind of hot where you have to swim through the air to get to your destination. The kind of hot where there's no point to do your hair, and no point to really try to pull together a fancy outfit. The kind of hot where you realize you did the same darn pose for every shot. I recently got this dress from LOFT and was going to take to the tailor to hack of a couple inches for a more flattering length but it seemed pretty perfect for today and decided I could get it tailored after today. The dress is jersey, but the skirt is lined so it hangs nicely and won't cling to my butt after getting all sweaty in a Metro "Hot Car." Cardigan is purely for office comfort and decorum, it was removed each time I left air conditioning.
My brown heeled sandals died in the hurricane and I have yet to get replacements. I think this outfit would have looked far better with some height, but then I think it's just the wacky hemlength. And gosh darn it, these are the comfiest sandals I have ever owned and look forward to any opportunity to wear them. They'll be going with me again to Forecastle (in TWO WEEKS!), they are THAT comfortable.
