Evening Breeze












Chambray: Target (similar 1, similar 2); Dress: Gracie B; Shoes: Forever 21 (similar 1, similar 2)

We hit a point this weekend where it was so warm during the day that it carried over into dusk and made the air summer-warm. I'm sure you all know that feeling - when it's getting dark but you can still wear a t-shirt and shorts and the night feels magically endless. It makes me want a porch, some adirondack chairs and citronella candles. In lieu of the fun that comes with a yard, we decided to meander to our local bar/sandwich shop in the Hilltop district and sit in the sweltering bar with doors and windows wide open drinking IPA and sweating profusely. 

I'm so excited for the upcoming summer where we open our windows all day and let the breeze blow through the apartment at night. There's something nostalgic to me about the blinds blowing in a cool breeze and the feeling of the fan on my skin. I think it reminds me of summers as a kid spent with my grandparents in their hot beach house listening to the sounds of the street. Do you all have similar summer vacation memories that you're always chasing?

  11. We ran out of summer in my neck of the woods (UK) last weekend. It was well over 20 degrees C but these past few days it's been constantly cloudy and very showery ;_;
    I like how casual the tied denim shirt is, and how you tied in the bag and sandals together!

  15. I like that too when you leave the windows open and air just moves around you and the whole room breaths at night... It still isn't as warm here yet but I'm hopeful.:)

    P.S.: That outfit is perfect, I want that dress and that shirt!

  27. I adoreeee this skirt and chambray top together. I want to pull this off so badly, it looks amazing on you! I do love having a yard/porch for that reason - but exploring always is a favorite too! And seriously, summer can't come fast enough.
