Summer Weekend Casual

Hey everyone! As summer winds down I’d like to show you what I’ve been wearing a lot this summer when it’s a seriously casual day: a t-shirt and skirt.

I’m not a shorts person after I heard several years ago the women from the BBC show “What not to Wear” suggest that shorts are one of the most unflattering articles of clothing to wear for women of all sizes. Because our legs bend and straighten, except for the quite athletic, the muscle above the knee sags when standing. They suggested a skirt instead and I’ve had no reason to look back! Did I mention that this skirt has pockets? I love pockets!

You’ve seen the skirt here before. The t-shirt I ordered online from an Etsy shop a couple of years ago and couldn’t find it to recommend it to you guys. It’s a bit thin so I wear a tank top underneath. Here is a detail of the t-shirt so you can actually read the hilarious text (big bust problems!).

And these two pairs of sandals I have worn all summer and you’ve probably seen them in the vacation posts. Here they are when I first bought them when they were nice and clean and fresh (and when my nails were painted light green!). Both pairs are comfy without the reliance of the piece that goes in-between your toes to hold them on and they both have thick soles so they work great for lots of walking.

Well, with summer winding down there will be only a couple more posts before we get into fall clothing. Enjoy these days while they last. I know I am!

I do not have any affiliation with any of the brands or stores nor do I receive any compensation. I’m just sharing what I’ve learned.

  1. The skirt looks great on you and I agree re shorts (and pants) — I find them uncomfortable, binding, and not very flattering. I prefer skirts and dresses (with Skimmies Slipshorts underneath!).

    And the red Mephistos! Fantastic shoes! Love!

    I’m happy you live in Michigan so you can preview fall for those of us suffering in the mid-Atlantic heat wave. So oppressive — but at least we don’t have the wildfires California is experiencing. All in all, I am OVER summer!
