Summer Berets, Tribal Skirts and Big Thank You's !!!

I am usually more fond of Silver accessories, but sometimes I need a little gold. Gold seems to enhance a summer glow. This tribal, floral? print skirt is one of my favorites. My hubs bought it for my Birthday last year. He has such good taste ;) I am also LOVING these summer berets from F21. I got 3, and now they are super cheap, like $1.99 - up! There is a lot going on here, but it seems to work and is a statement of my true style. A bit boho, trendy, and the shades are vintage Banana Boats from the 80's. I still can't grasp the notion that 80's apparel is considered vintage ! The glads: Target, Necklaces: Sears, Yellow shirt: Old Navy, Earrings: @bstract - Target ( another favorite ), Belt: Calvin Klein,thrifted, Bag: Aigner, thrifted. The long pendant opens to hide stuff in ;) - but it would have to be really small !

The earrings.

The beret ! I like to wear a side-braid with them. TIP : If you don't have long hair, You can buy a faux pony-tail  and clip it on, underneath your hair, braid, and Wa-La ! No one will know the difference ;)

 PLUS, A long sleeved cotton shirt is actually very cool in the Summer. Much cooler than sunscreen :)

ALSO, I have firmly decided that I like "fill-flash". It seems to accentuate otherwise dark photos.

Nothing beats late afternoon natural lighting, but hey, how often is that really possible ? So sue me, WW !!!

AND !!!!

2. I am an obsessive / compulsive clutter bug, which can explain my overload of photos and info !

3. I want to be a photographer when I grow up.

4. I rarely wear the same exact outfit, ever.
