Summer Fashion: More Difficult for Some!

Happy Memorial Day to all!!  Around Texas, this weekend is the official
beginning of summer and it does feel like it outside.  I am similar to unefemme who recently
confessed she has difficulty transitioning to warm weather wear.  I am born and raised in Texas, but really
have never liked the heat.  I have
friends who thrive on it and love the fact we have heat seven out of twelve
months!  But not me, in my heart I am
seasonal, but in my heart I am also a Texan. 
It is a problem!  Selecting cute styles that minimize sweat and don’t stick to your skin can often be a challenge!

For a summer school teacher, the
wardrobe is a bit more causal-Friday-style for every day.  I am much better at styling professional looks
than casual looks….tune in tomorrow to see the problems when those looks
collide!  I wish I had something along
the line of today’s look for every day of summer.  With a wonderful gift card, I recently
purchased this jacket at Chicos and it is summer-perfect!  Lightweight…cool…stylish…flattering…just
perfect.  I also want to remind you about Chicos Passport Savings Program for regular shoppers and if you receive their emails,
you will see just how reasonable the sale prices are.

My husband bought this necklace for me at Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry to wear with my Mother-of-the-Bride suit last summer…it also works with this!
Have a wonderful holiday and stay
cool!  And make sure you visit the lovely bloggers of  VISIBLE MONDAY and MONDAY MINGLE!!

  1. I know some women they have a hard time finding a good outfit in summer than in cold days. You look great on this outfit and the accessories is awesome!

  2. This is a perfect and cool look for summer school. I like the zebra stripes. I fear turning into a bit of slob this summer, as I am teaching entirely online. That's not good for blogging, yikes.

  3. Well, Alexander Wang was right when he said anyone can dress up, but it's who can dress casual…or something to that effect. And he's right. I find it much more challenging to dress down.

  4. Adore the jacket and your necklace is beautiful … I'd say you picked up the passport to style. You always look so well put together Pam.

    Have a stunning week.

  5. Ah! How nice to hear I have a kindred spirit! I, too, find summer wear more difficult than the other seasons. I live in Kentucky where we have four beautiful seasons. Also, I used to work in the corporate world, and casual Fridays always frustrared me to no end. I loved dressing for work the other days of the week, but I never felt good about my Friday outfit. You look lovely, as always. You have given me lots of inspiration and ideas.

  6. I am a former Austinite who was forced to move East for her job. I just spent a weekend in your lovely city, and it reminded me so much about what I miss in my home state. The art museum is spectacular as is the river walk extension. Texas ladies always dress so well. Lucky you!

  7. You know I love Chico's! They do have fabulous sales, including an extra 30% off sale items today. You look so good in the zebra top. Very cool and crisp for a summer day. What a pretty necklace and it does go great with the outfit.

  8. I love your black and white with silver look – the bracelet, the top, the silver sandals – especially the sandals! In my country we are lucky to have three or four weeks every year with "heat"=above 75 degrees F.!

  9. We should swap locations – I love the heat and I envy you being able to wear summery outfits wtih cute sandals and cropped trousers and lovely floaty tops most of the year! I love the zebra print top! And thanks for your birthday wishes.
