Scallop the ante

Step One - Find items you love but haven't worn yet this summer.
Step Two - Put them all on.
Step Three - Steal another post title from the name of a Modcloth piece.

Does anyone else feel like they've barely made a dent in getting all their summer favorites worn? I still have quite a few dresses and pairs of shorts that haven't made it out of the closet yet, and a pair of sandals I bought last October, packed away, forgot about, and just found. Oops.

  1. You look beautiful. I have the same top but it looks much better on you.

  2. I wish I had that many summer favourites! I will say I have a few things I haven't worn enough of this summer - my denim jacket being one of them, and I do intend to fix that in short order - but at this point in the season, which has been particularly long for us this year, I've worn all of my mini dresses and shorts and tanks and frankly, for the most part I'm trying to figure out clever ways to restyle them because the temperatures aren't showing much sign of decreasing just yet. I think it's still something to do with where I grew up, where summer was so, so fleeting that the idea of investing in an entire summer wardrobe seemed silly. I need to get that sorted out. And I really need a pair fo scalloped shorts already, because every time you wear yours - and especially when you use a hilarious title like this one - I wonder why I don't own five pairs already. You always make them look so good!

  6. I do that same summer wears song and dance every damn year (and season really for that matter! Even the winter--which, as you know, I HATE). I really love your scalloped shorts! They look great with the palm print top and that cute little straw clutch!

  8. Love the steps and they are so SMART! ModCloth always has fun titles. Step One - Find items you love but haven't worn yet this summer.
    Step Two - Put them all on.
    Step Three - Steal another post title from the name of a Modcloth piece. www.soworkweekchic.blogspot.com

  10. I've been terrible with my summer wardrobe. So many things that I was looking forward to wearing and I've just basically not done it. Ugh. I'm the worst. Also, lifting a post title from ModCloth items is pure genius!

  11. Definitely - I can't wear my nice, normal clothes to work because they will get ruined. So I only get to wear real clothes on the weekend or days off. So I still haven't worn a lot of my summer pieces either! I love that palm print top! I wasn't able to find one this summer that I liked!

  12. Love the shorts and shoes. Enjoy your week.

  13. Yep, I still need to wear a lot of my pieces, haha. But we still have like a month of Summer weather left...maybe more.
    I always enjoy that top. Probably because it's so similar to the one I have

  14. Hahahaha, I've gotta steal a title from Modcloth! They always do name their items the cutest things. And yes, I need to wear more of my things this summer... I've been shamefully living in T-shirts and shorts when I'm working on art things at home when I could do a little better than that. I love that top so much, Lydia!

  18. I am SO bad about grabbing the same things over and over for work because they are there and I am there… it just happens. I need to get out of that habit! Love this look!

  20. I'm currently going though that "Oh no, I've only worn this once/not at all!!" phase this summer. Absolutely adorable shorts on you!

  24. I hear you, Lydia! I, too have quite a few favorite, cherished pieces that don't get enough wear, I think it has something to do with our non-existent summer here.
