The Hot Weather Solution: Long Skorts & Culottes
Culotte alternatives: Gray ASOS fabulousness here, Forever21 floral here, Topshop feather here, Hi All! Happy Monday! You know I am a true Seattleite becuase I have been complaining about the heat lately and the fact that I have nothing to wear in it. I literally have a closet that is 3/4 coats because if your wardrobe is the food pyramid, in Seattle outerwear makes up the bottom of it, along with all-season boots. Now you might say I have dresses I could wear and I do, but shorts are incredibly tough in the office especially if you have longer legs and care about how much skin you are showing. Enter…

The Seattle Fashion Scene: Not as Grunge as You Think
Skirt with slit similar Here, Givenchy Knock-off sweat-shirt, Faux Leather Jacket Zara similar here, Heels Similar here and pricey but adorable here, Updated version of the bag here I am tempted when asked to describe Seattle to say we all wear Tivas and live on house boats/commute on ferrys to get to work, but that wouldn’t be accurate. Not even a little bit. Despite the portrayal on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and the Killing, Seattle has a vibrant fashion scene both with large brands like Dolce Vita and Report starting here as well as major retailers such as Nordstrom and Amazon. Yes, I said Amazon, fashion isn’t just brick and…

I was however THRILLED to see…

The Romper: No Outfit Required
Romper Forever21 similar here and here, Shoes Zara (old), Earrings ASOS, Bag Nordstrom romp·er ˈrämpər,ˈrôm-/ noun noun: romper suit; plural noun: romper suits; noun: romper; plural noun: rompers A young child’s one-piece outer garment. A person who romps. Hmmm… I think it’s safe to say, rompers aren’t just for the preschoolers anymore. Adults everywhere from walking the Red Carpet to going to the grocery store have embraced romper as the answer to the conundrum of “what to wear when you don’t want to think about what to wear.” So yes, with only 1 item being donned, we technically are wearing onesies, but no. they don’t have sewn on feet.

Turning the T-Shirt Into a Dress: Insert Slip Here
Sleeveless T-dress last seen here, Slip Dress Aritzia similar here, Bag & Boots Zara (old), Sunglasses Ray-Ban When I first tried on this cute locker-printed tank top/dress I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was actually dress length and very unusual looking, which I loved. The problem though was that it was also completely sheer in the back with both the white and blue colored block portions showing everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.
