Warm Weather Basics

Wearing:
Panama hat (from the county fair last year)
Equipment top
Joe's Jeans cut off shorts
Vintage quilted leather purse
Apepazza peep toe booties in the color bittersweet (I like pointing out the color every time because I like the way it sounds lol)
Mac "Impassioned" lipstick
Burberry watch

It's been heating up lately (and cooling down...then heating up again) here in the Bay Area.  Some days it feels like Summer.   Other days it feels like those strange Fall days that are warm and toasty, but cool and breezy at the same time.  On the day I wore this outfit, it was crazy hot for May.  It was over 90 degrees.  Originally, I planned on wearing a sun dress.  But I hadn't worn these shorts in a while and this soft silk blouse is perfect for hot weather.  So...this is what I ended up wearing.

I am pretty sure all of these items I'm wearing are considered "basics" in their own right.  With the exception of these boots, each of these pieces are all pretty Plain Jane (but in a good way, of course).  For Spring and Summer, a good lightweight hat is a must!  A silk blouse is also an essential for warm weather.  Unlike synthetic fibers, silk breathes and feels luxurious on your skin.  And who could forget a comfy pair of denim cut offs?  Yep...these are all pretty basic, but essential.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone :)  I hope you all get plenty of sunshine.
