Casual Summer with G Star Raw and H&M

     It's difficult to add variety and layers during the hot months of Summer. Layering an outfit adds depth, enhances dimension, and allows you to combine articles of clothing that usually wouldn’t go together on their own.  But throwing on a sweater or a blazer to bring an outfit together during the hot months just isn't pragmatic. 

     An alternative to the typical shorts and t-shirt day outfit, or the denim and blazer night outfit, was the inspiration for this shoot.  This outfit is comfortable enough for the day, but fits just as well for a sit-down dinner.

IFB Project #105: What's Your Signature Color

     Is a summer scarf really an oxymoron? I say no.  As long as it's not blistering outside, a summer scarf adds texture and color.  Just make sure it's made of light materials such as cotton, linen, or modal and stay away from the heavy materials of fall and winter.  Lastly, remember to choose light and colorful prints.

Thanks for reading.

     On one of my coastal trips, I made a stop at San Jose on my way home.  Winchester mystery house is this funky little tourist attraction right by Santana Row.  It's a 1900s home smack in the middle of the city.  

     You're not allowed to take pictures inside, but there is a beautiful garden surrounding the grounds.  Winchester is a fun stop if you're ever in San Jose.

Thanks for reading.
