The door in my wardrobe*

*the door not actually being there was a disappointment - but at least I was allowed to play with the clothes

//// Summer laziness

Posted on | July 26, 2009 | 1 Comment

Although I love summer it is really not my favorite season to dress up. Heat makes me lazy. I’m almost unable to fiddle with separates and end up throwing on a simple dress with super simple accessories. Here are some of my favorites; nothing fancy but tested against time:

dressdrape

Cotton dress with silk details from All Saints. This is at least three years old. I really love the faded pink color, pockets in side seams, raw edges on neck and sleeve openings — and how the dress does not have a single straight seam. The skirt part arranges itself to sculptural drapes automatically. I like it most in wrinkled, scruffy state and I love to combine it to black leather in cooler days.

Skip the next if you hate to see toes =).

sandals

A pair of ultra minimal sandals from local department store. I guess that the brand name is Flutter or Fluffer — never heard it since. Anyway, I love the whole leather construction (sole too), the small and weird Swarowski detail on the sole, the fact that they have held together at least four years in spite of the delicate structure. They leave almost no tan lines and are surprisingly comfortable.

bag1bag2

The greatest summer straw bag from Vero Moda, this has seen two or three summers, too. The little metal discs make the most beautiful faint sound when I walk — an instant boost to a summer feeling. The bag is large enough for couple of books, iPod, water bottle, knit and a blanket for sitting down in a random park, my basic equipment for lazy summer days in the city.

And no, I don’t care too much about coordinating the metallics.

Edit:
I feel pretty bad that I photographed one of my fav summer dresses just on the hangar. Here with Zara cardigan, DocMartens (obviously quite excited about them) and cycle shorts (cut from regular sheer tights). Not the best angle for my legs but you get the idea.
