Open Weaves of Summer

May 30, 2014

One of my favorite looks for summer … crochet tops and cardigans.  I love the beachy boho vibe!  
Here are three outfit ideas …

But first of all, how cute are my photobombers?


I’m still wearing my ortho shoe, but I hobbled around in real shoes just for pics.

 Love this H&M cardi with flared jeans, summer sandals, and a pretty lace scarf.  I look so cute, Rox wanted to make out with me!

How ready am I for summer?  Summer begins for teachers when we turn in grades and keys.  For me that was today!

Found this cool crochet top for a steal at Ross.  Also wearing Old Navy distressed skinnies and Seychelles sandals.  The sun hat is from Coolibar, a great website to go to for all things sun protection. Sunnies by Ralph Lauren.

Lucky’s look says, “Are you done, Mom? Can we play ball now?”


And how about one evening date night look?  Just right for a dining al fresco by the shore!

Kika ponte knit pants, Carlos Santana bag,  and Style & Co top.
If I’m starting to look a bit disgruntled, this is about the time my darn broken toe started throbbing, reminding me to put my medical shoe back on.

And that’s all for today, Dolls.



Looking forward to a summer with more time to check out all your fab blogs!

OXOX

    Great tops! I never wear these kind of tops but I love how modern they look with your other pieces like your jeans. Especially like your look with the distressed skinnies as well as the all black outfit.

    That top from Ross is pretty sweet. The hint of mint with the cami is great too.

    You have the perfect deck and yard for taking photos!

      Thanks so much for stopping by, Suzanne! My yard is a pretty good place to run around taking timer cam pics with my iPhone … lots of places to prop up the phone … and lots of privacy so the neighbors can't see my silly poses!

    You're off for the summer, dear Dawn?! How fabulous is that!! No wonder you're celebrating with these three boho-chic looks!! I'd honestly wear them all!! The flare jeans and lacy scarf of Look One; the gladiator sandals and fringy top of Look Two; and that black Carlos Santana bag in Look Three are particularly yummy!! Better get that boot back on though…I don't want you to need it any longer that absolutely necessary!! XO

    Fabulous looks, Dawn Lucy! Only yesterday I looked at some crochet cardigans at H&M… after seeing your stylings I better return there sooner than later! Especially love the 70ies inspired styling but also the all black.

    I am so much looking forward to summer but it doesn't yet feel like it, it has been wet and grey and our temperatures are still not summery…

    It must be a wonderful feeling turning in those grades and keys – almost like finishing a marathon? You look so chic in all these outfits, but I really love the look of the flared jeans, lace cardigan and scarf. So very fab!

    • Reply dawnlucy June 2, 2014 at 4:27 pm

      Well, I have no idea what it's like to finish a marathon, but that would be cool! But yeah, it's a great feeling of relief! Thanks so much for stopping by, Dear. Pretty pears rock!

    You look fab. Where to start. I love the all black look, and I can tell you are tall like myself, or it is how wonderful you carry yourself. I used to be a teacher, before my illness. I love the crochet top and the gladiators. Very pretty as well

    All these looks are great on you. My fav is the first one. Now that I'm a FORMER teacher (retired as of Feb 2013) I don't have to be jealous about your shorter semester. In the past ten years ours has been extended and extended. We always worked until the end of June but had almost 3 weeks for exams, marking , preparing report cards and planning meetings for next year. Not to mention prepping for Commencement exercises. Now exams start on June 23 or so..and Commencement is on June 30…CRAZY!

      Yeah, we get out early, but then we go back to school on August 11th! Thanks for stopping by, Susan!

    Well, you did bring the start of summer! Love this beachy boho vibe you've shown us. And all three looks are fabulous, but that all black attire is so chic, it's a definite "take me to dinner, please" kind of outfit.
    I taught school for many years and I still remember the pure joy of freedom when the last bell rings. Happy summer vacation to you, cute lady.

    Fabulous relaxed looks! As a TEFL teacher I know how hectic it can get towards the end of the school year…. But then you have some time to do whatever you please, no work interfering. I think that's one of the best things about being a teacher: you know what's in store at a certain time and can plan your activities accordingly.

    Vacation is for faculty, too! So enjoy. Looking very sophisticated with your new hair, in your vacationy togs. Each piece a winner … pretty tops, especially. Each sweater better than the previous one. I've got kind of a crush on the black one,You have your model-y moue down pat. Must have been hard to stay ethereal looking with your doggies begging for Mom-time. Adorable, all of you.
