Against the flow

Well, I think I've written before that I shouldn't really wear black in the summer coz it's just cray-cray. You know what? I just did! I AM SO SMRT...I mean, SMART!

Wilfred top from Aritzia, H&M pants, Vans sneakers


I had to wear sneakers as hubby and I did a lot of walking the day these were taken. It was such a beautiful day that everyone was outside enjoying it...


Are you guys prone to not wearing black in the summer, or do you just go "to hell with it even if it means I'm gonna sweat"?

I wear some black but it is deathly hot here. You pretty much have a death wish if you wear all black. But in the wintertime, it's a whole different story. Looks like wonderful weather there. Hope you're getting some time outside with the kiddos

I wear plenty of black in summer, purely cos it's not all that warm for the most part! Love the Vans :) x

I wear black in the summer all the time also- it's so hot but it's my go-to color so I can't seem to stop! At least you look amazing, right? And those blue shoes are the cutest!

It definitely looks like a really nice day. I do like how you brightened up the look by adding the blue Vans.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
