I know, I'm incorrigible. Up until last week I was squealing exhaustively about the shitty weather and now all of a sudden it gets hot and I'm back on my whine wagon. The thing is, it's not just hot - it's humid. Really, really humid. My hair Monica Gellers' (yuh, using that as a verb) within one minute of stepping outside my front door. And I'm so hot that I can't sleep. My 3rd floor flat - up 69 stairs to be exact - retains heat like no homestead you have ever encountered. Even in the deep winter, I do not need to heat my flat. So right now I am sleep deprived and lying in a sveaty bed of discontent.
Enter, the summer layer system aka my sartorial solar system. Because, as we all know, over-zealous office air-con systems means that while a teeny dress is fit for the tube, you frozzelate as soon as you step into the work place. Equally, when it starts to pour, the temperature can drop dramatically. A favourite Reformation dress is thus the entry layer to my solar system, around which other layers rotate, followed in this scenario by a ubiquitous denim jacket and tartan dressing gown. As any regular reader of this blog will know, I love tartan. And who knew a coat like a dressing gown would go so well with some high-shine brogues? Thanks Sandro. Always a winner in the shoe department.
I am wearing a Reformation Dress, Topshop Denim Jacket, Front Row Shop Coat and Sandro Derby Brogues.
