With summer heat and humidy at it's peak lately, I've been turning to an old favorite: light dresses and keeping my hair off my neck. I am the kind of girl who loves to wear her hair down and keep it simple but lately I've found my hair up more often than not. Because I've been trying new updos, bringing braids back into the mix was necessary. I've said before that this is my favorite summer hairdo and I forgot why until I pulled my hair up and off my face this morning.

Summer Colors

Now that the weather is much warmer around here, incorporating more color into my daily outfits is something I am striving to do. I pulled out this old dress yesterday because it is one of the most comfortable dresses in my wardrobe. I knew it was a perfect dress to wear as we break into the hot and humid days quickly hitting the District. I have loved this dress since the day I spotted it years ago at Victoria's Secret. I wanted to pair it with bolder colors to stand out against the navy.

I think navy and teal is a color pairing I often forget about, but I adore how the two colors compliment each other so well. I guess I feel this way about many colors with navy. Perhaps it is quickly becoming a new favorite in my life? I'm not sure I can say I would choose it over black… but it may be a great summer substitute.

What are your favorite color combos these days?

Thrifted Blazer

When it is really rainy out, like in the pictures above, I typically try to wear a bright color to stand out on such a gray day. Today, I decided to wear this yellow blazer I spotted at a thrift store a few weeks ago. I love finding amazing pieces at thrift stores because they can be really nice pieces of clothing and are usually pretty unique. I knew this blazer could go with so many outfits and was happy to snag it for only $6. What a deal! I love thifting!

Have you ever had an amazing thrift store find? If so, what was it?
