I found these lilacs growing at the bottom of a hill while driving by hence the unusual angle for the photos. The smell was amazing and they’re such pretty flowers. I love all the various purple shades they come in as well and the sometimes crisp white.

We have officially made it to summer weather (on some days at least) and I was able to wear shorts. This is a good thing since I really like the juxtaposition of longer sleeves with shorts. It just feels a bit more unexpected and sexy than wearing them with long skirts or pants (there is of course no choice in this during colder weather).

Patterned tights are also one of my favorite summer items and I expect you’ll be seeing more of them on this blog soon. They make it so easy to add some more texture and a subtle pattern to a look as well as a bit of rock-n-roll vibe. The floral blouse I’m wearing is chiffon so it’s still nice and breezy despite the long sleeves.

Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
