WIWW: Outfit- It’s a Cruel, Cruel Summer

It was nearly 100 degrees here in Chicago today, and the air felt like soup.  If you were outside and NOT in water, the goal was to wear as little as appropriate.

Moose and I were stuck in traffic much of the day because he had speech and occupational therapy downtown.  I personally hate air-conditioning, especially in the car.  I am always cold regardless of the temperatures!

Many of the moms in the waiting room commented on how dressed up I was.  I shared the glory that is WIWW.

Ah, the power of taking five minutes to wear clothes as opposed to slop, dear readers, has made a tremendous difference in my attitude.

Now, onto the reason you are reading.

To see what I am wearing.

Let’s start with the shoes.  They are super padded, rather cute, and blister-free.  They were only $16 from Agaci.  Love.  They will be played on repeat until Chicago’s filthy streets turn them a shade of grey.

Next up, one of the few remaining necklaces that my sons or little cousins have yet to destroy.  It’s an heirloom from my Italian grandmother.  She wore it constantly.  I spent hours in her jewerly box as a kid.  When she passed away five years ago, I salvaged my favorite pieces.

Here’s a ECU of the embroidery on the bottom dress.

And, the part I hate the most…

God, this gets me out of my comfort zone {and yoga pants}.

Here’s the details of the outfit:

tube dress: marshall’s similar here, and here

sandals: agaci  VERY similar {same brand} only $16.99!

vintage necklace: from Grandma Piano’s stash

Thanks for reading and witnessing all my wallflowerness.
