As the second half of August drifts away from me, my mind begins to
turn to the sad matter of summer's demise. I mourned the end of summer
for over a month
last year, so chances are good that I'll still see my fair share of hot
days before winter. But that can't stop me from getting a little
sentimental...looking over the glorious days of this past season,
reliving the good times, and reflecting on the themes.
Pretty much every year, I notice a theme or two that dominates my clothing—I've gone on suit sprees, binged on blazers, and harbored an (ongoing) obsession with wide-legged pants.
This
summer, while I haven't consciously thought much about it, I gravitated
to a style which basically became my go-to work outfit for the season: a
flared skirt, a slim-fitting sleeveless top, and some dressy sandals. I
could always count on this look when I was busy and/or tired and didn't
want to put a lot of effort into outfit planning. The funny thing is, I
wore this style so often that it basically became a uniform, and I took
it so much for granted that even though I wore it multiple times a
week, I never really pictured it in my blog...though I guess Slow Burn and Pink Lemonade count, as well as the outfit I wore with my purple sandals, which I deemed so unimportant I didn't even photograph it until after I'd taken it off.
I'm pretty pleased with the perfect color match between the top and the dress, but other than that, I wouldn't have considered it blog-worthy if I hadn't realized its value as a case study in my Summer 2018 Uniform. So here it is, for old times' sake, before Summer 2018 is but a bittersweet memory.
I think I see winter coming... |
