Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Summer Layers" and was picked by Mirelle.
Is it hot enough for you? Many of us in America are suffering under what meteorologists are calling a "Heat Dome", aka "summer" 😄. I've been setting my alarm for 5:00 am so I'm outside working in the garden at 6:00 am and I come back in the house around 11:00 to 12:00. When Mirelle picked the theme this month, I wasn't quite sure what "summer layers" was as I'm more about trying to wear the least amount of clothing as possible this time of year 😆. However, I do realize early mornings and evenings can be a little chilly (when there's not a heat wave going on) and of course, over air conditioned buildings are always a problem for me. So I decided to show you what I usually wear to keep cool and what layers I generally wear when I need to add a little something for warmth.
My number one go-to item in the summer is dresses, skirts, or skorts. This is a light weight sleeveless dress I purchased some time ago from the Stitch Fix website. It's super comfy and keeps me cool on hot days. I wore this dress to a Norwegian Festival.
Because I was outdoors I wore a straw bucket hat and I used a cross-body bag for ease of carrying. Both are from Amazon. I assessorized with brown, orange, and yellow jewelry picking out the colors from my dress.
I wore soft comfy sandals because I knew I'd be walking all day.
We left early in the morning, and that day there wasn't a heat wave, so it was actually cooler in the morning. So because my dress also had some teal in it, I thought my new crochet sweater from my Spring Stitch Fix would go perfect with it!
Cardigans are the perfect summer layer, I also love large scarves that can easily wrap around your shoulder. I loathe heavily air conditioned buildings, so I always carry either a light cardigan or scarf in my purse all summer long, just in cast I need it.
If it's really cool, you can also choose a lightweight jacket as your layering piece. Here I am in the same dress in Jackson Hole Wyoming. It was so cold in the morning, but by afternoon it warmed up and I was able to ditch the jacket.
So what about you, are you all about layers in the summer, or do you prefer to wear as little as possible to stay cool? I'd love to hear from you!
Now, let's see how the other ladies are layering their summer pieces, and be sure to link up with us as well!
Have A Great Day! Amy
