June flew by in a haze of end-of-school-year craziness and work. It was also a weirdly temperate month for Maryland weather and we didn’t have to turn our AC on until the end of the month… which I loved.
Let’s take a look at June style…
Office Style
Lots of the three-piece easy outfit combo of blouse + skirt + cardigan this month. What can I say, it just works for work. I enjoyed all my office outfits this month, but the absolute winner is that new red and white embroidered skirt!
I took a gamble when I bought it off Poshmark knowing that the waist was way too tiny for me — but a little snip, snip and some hand-sewing of a new waistband and I’m so thrilled at how it turned out. The fabric is a nice weight cotton with heavy embroidery and it just feels and flows so nicely. It absolutely put a little extra pep in my step for a busy workday and work event!
Weekend Style
On the left is my comfy outfit that I wore for yoga with the alpacas. I do want to highlight that fabulous belt bag — it’s from PopFlex and I love it so much. On the right is what I wore for dinner with my siblings. Those Rothy’s espadrilles are easily becoming a summer favorite, because they’re comfortable and look so cute with everything!
New vs Secondhand Tally
This month, I count 7 items that I purchased retail and 14 items I purchased secondhand!
Such cute outfits! you are lucky to know how to sew. I learned in high school – remember home ec.? Maybe before your time – and word the dress once! My favorites are the bluedress with the yellow cardigan, and the outfit with the red and white skirt. The rest are adorable, too. Thanks!
Thanks Nancy! I’m mostly self taught with making sewing edits to my clothes. I’ve made plenty of mistakes over the years!
