these linen/cotton black pants have an easy loose fit with a self-tie. perfect for a hot summer day. 

the cropped length lets you show off a cute pair of shoes. like these block heel sandals similar here.

yesterday, i discussed the half-tuck style tip. its main purpose is to add definition to your silhouette. in today’s loose fit ootd it does just that. plus it shows off the self-tie.

this lightweight cotton polka-dot popover not only will help me beat this muggy heat that’s reared its ugly head but will be a great transition piece from summer to fall. 

lately, i’ve had a crush on this hobo handbag similar here and trot it out every chance i get. from time-to-time, i get fixated with a pair of shoes or bag and wear it ad nausea. maybe it’s time for a new handbag. after all, my birthday is just around the corner. it will be here in no time as august is clipping along in its typical fashion – fast and faster. who’s noticed that sunset is around 8:25ish these days? 

okay, ladies, are you ready for monday morning? “not i,” said the little red hen. my weekend was delightfully lazy. even energetic oscar didn’t seem to mind our laid back weekend attitude. if only it would last one more day… but the week is off and running so let’s make it a good one.
