This weekend I spent a lot of time on or near the Milwaukee River in downtown Milwaukee partaking in my favorite activities: drinking on a boat and eating at restaurants along the river. Friday night’s weather was spectacular and I enjoyed a cruise with my boyfriend for one of his company’s outings. Yet, Sunday was a different story. My dreams of sitting outside, relaxing and eating food near the river turned into me sweating profusely and refusing food at our first stop due to the level of heat and humidity. And second stop, we chose to just eat indoors where the air conditioning was cranked up. I shake my fist at you, Mother Nature! I’m a little dramatic, I know. Ok, maybe a lot.
My Vertebrae sent me these pieces and I styled them together–I love the muted colors and the fabric. I’d normally style this top with cut off shorts, which may have been more appropriate considering the hot weather, but since when do I dress weather appropriate? The heat made me so crabby, I could hardly pull myself together for these photos. Anyone else have days like that? I just couldn’t make myself look normal for a photo.
a-ha! I knew you had a boyfriend, oh sly one.
Love the top. I'm totally useless in hot weather, I'm very happy our summer has been rained out so far, suits me fine!
You look lovely, and you don't look like you're tired and too hot at all! 🙂 I don't feel good and like myself in hot weather either, and always try to spend middays indoors. xxx
looove this look… So lovely ;D

Oh man, I hear ya sister!
My boyfriend LOVES the heat, me? not so much. i can only withstand a certain degree but lately NYC has been testing me and i have not been a happy lady. I loathe having to turn on our AC but without it, I don't sleep, which doesn't help the crabbyness. it's a lose-lode if you ask me!
Hope you had a good weekend regardless! You look great!

Oh my goodness, SO with you Andrea I can't stand intense heat, and yup, it makes me super cranky. Haha, my hubs can vouch for that. I also don't seem to ever dress for the weather, oops.
As for your outfit? Both the outfit and pictures are absolutely delightful. Love the amazing light, and loving all the pretty stripes in your ensemble. And those shoes are a personal fave. xx veronika
Ughh-I know what you mean about taking pictures in the heat. I tried to take a quick outfit picture yesterday in the middle of the day heat and it was terrible.
Love your outfit! Hope you have a great start to your week xx
For a crabby girl you're looking pretty awesome. I love that you switched up your jean shorts for this gorgeous skirt (even if it was less than weather apprpriate, as you say). And those shoes- so Victorian-style fantastic!!
I was there yesterday! Oh how I love the boardwalk 🙂
Haha how fun! Sounds like it would be an amazing time. Love your purse btw!
Great photos, great post!
