Yellow Blouse & Yellow Shorts

As much as I like wearing dresses in warm weather, I do know that they’re not the only suitable clothes for when temperatures rise. Loose fitting pieces do the trick too. Case in point, this yellow outfit. Although it’s not in breathable materials such as cotton or linen, the fact that it falls away from my body makes it a breeze (no pun intended ;) I like that the blouse’s looseness and length give it the appearance of a dress especially with matching flared shorts underneath. Funny enough, I found both yellow pieces during the same thrifting trip. That was serendipitous since they work together beautifully. As a bonus, each piece could also pair nicely with other separates. I added the pink strappy heels for a touch of whimsy, the woven bag for a vintage accent and the silver jewelry for subtle sculptural details. I can’t tell you the last time I wore silver jewelry (I usually go for the warmth of brass) but seeing how the silver looks here provides ample reason to wear it more frequently.
