Atlanta gets the kind of heat that just sits on you and makes you sweat. What do you wear when wearing anything sounds heavy– especially at work where sitting in your underwear is not an option? I’ve mentioned the discreet crop top method and the obnoxiously-sized accessories to mask the fact that you are just wearing a tank top. How ’bout more accessories (a belt!) and light, light layers (see embroidered vest).
I went shopping in my closet and found: an embroidered vest from Urban that I usually don’t wear because it’s a little boho for me, a Tara Jarmon for Target tunic, Target skirt (I usually use this as a petitcoat of sorts), belt from Rockit in Decatur, shoes are from Cinti in Florence.
I’m sure I’m not the only one strapped for cash (I feel like I’ve been “shopping” in my own closet for months). Wouldn’t it be nice to have the money fairy deposit a generous sum under our pillows tonight. If that doesn’t happen you can try this:
Atlanta Magazine is holding a fashion contest: upload a photo of yourself here, and you are entered to win $250 and be in Atlanta Magazine! Cath and I are both going to enter. We’ll let you know what outfit shots we choose- and let us know what you enter too!
You look gorgeous! So bold to wear all white. I swear if I wore white it would start raining coffee. I don’t evny you the heat down there. In ithaca it’s downright cold today! I had to talk myself out of my(new) maroon leather jacket. I too have been shopping in my closet. But since I can’t not spend entirely(cause I lose it and splurge) I occasionally stop at Salvation Army for a fix. Last time I got a gorgeous lace pencil skirt. You look lovely though hun, keep up the frugal fashion!
total cuteness!
Love, love, love that belt!
Beautiful outfit!!!
This is such a PERFECT hot weather, shop-your-closet look. I’m ridiculously inspired, and desperately want a white dress.
that belt is awesome!
What a cute outfit. Really boho. *
Yay it was so awesome to see you today! Happy Birthday again, Lar! And dangit, this reminds me for the umpteenth time that I need to pop over to RockIt before work sometime.
It’s been a total sauna over here in Detroit since the heat wave hit us. It was a sizzling 86 when I woke up and I had the A/C blasting on my way to work. This is not ideal.
Oh well. At least we have A/C, right? Unlike other countries.
I love your basement apartment!
