Comfy Chic

I am not ready to kiss summer and its cute clothing goodbye yet, so I have been gravitating toward white pants lately. Here I paired it with a top I love for its versatility. It can go casual (with jeans or leggings) or dressy (with patterned tights and heels), and work during warm weather (with light floaty pants), and cold (with more chunky knits layered on and finished off with boots). I admit, the jagged shape threw me off when I first got it as a gift, but it's been a wardrobe ace.

Closet Remix: Floral and Lace

I have about three skirts that actually look good on me, so the recent realization that you can turn dresses into skirts by layering shirts over them has been a revelation. It's been an awesome fix for someone like myself, whose long-legs-to-short-torso proportions make skirt-wearing a challenge!

This particular outfit gave me the opportunity to bring back the brown lace dress I purchased on Modcloth two summers ago for a dear friend's wedding. I think the cocoa color tones down the punchy floral print.

This scenic photo shoot took place at the Tufts campus, just a few minutes walk from our house. We were happy to discover these little nooks for a fun change of scenery.
