Skirt? Ralph Lauren, thrifted Belt? Roots, thrifted Top? Marc Cain, Plato's Closet (similar in orange and black) Sandals? Marc Fisher, Winners Cardigan? Joe Fresh Necklaces? Sparkly one is J. Crew, the rest are thrifted
Now before you think that last statement was just a random and slightly awkward observation, I should clarify that it is actually a thoroughly tested way of noting the temperature. Years ago I ran a landscape crew with two of my closest friends (and yes, let me pause to say that we basically got paid to hang out together for 10+ hours a day and it was a summer of many good memeories... sigh.) and we had a way of determining how hot the day was based on whose waistband was sweaty. We all know that the weather man and the truck thermometers were clearly not to be trusted, but the waistband test was accurate every time. If the one girl's waistband was wet, it was warm outside (yes, she was our sweaty friend), if the other girl's waistband sweated through, it was hot and if my waistband got sweaty, it was time to take water breaks every half hour and ask the ice cream truck to follow us around... in a non creepy way. So, based on our theory, this week was really hot...
And yes, I do kind of feel like I broke girl code by telling that story as blog fodder. But I'm pretty sure we were all pretty proud of our sweaty waistbands. Work hard. Sweat hard. Eat ice cream.

You in a bustier is hot hot! And I'm glad you speak of sweaty shorts. It's clearly the best way to gauge temperature. I wish I could be more like you and enjoy the outdoors. I don't think I could ever want a yard because I'm too lazy to landscape and do anything that makes me sweat.
That's hilarious :) Sounds like a good summer. And I love the outfit, especially the shoes.
ha! love it. and this. outfit. any girl who wears a bustier top is an A+ in my book. i absolutely love this. it's a bit...boho. which isn't typically your thing. but you're doing it SO WELL. XO
Why must you always look so damn cool?! I love the necklace paired with the top-- they look like they were made for each other.
I love this outfit! The rich combination of colors and the relaxed yet put together feeling is perfect for summer days.
I LOVE THIS!!!
I was so looking forward to wearing crop tops this season & even had the best abs of my life...and then I peed on a stick (TMI?)and found out I'm going to have to wait till next summer to rock the crop...haha
I do think this is the most perfect top I have seen in forever though...the perfect print and shape!
Cute outfit! Your sweaty shorts theory seems to work well with my "roller derby practice in a warehouse" observations.
Love that top and the sexy back.
Wow, that's an awesome top!
And I like your mantra. :)

Dude, I hear ya on the whole sweaty waistband thing. I went to a baseball game last night and wore a little sundress to beat the heat. The whole thing was damp with sweat by about half-way through the game.
Oh, and you look fantastic!

That's a funny way to test the temperature, but having lived in the tropics all my life I do agree with the sweaty waistband gauge. Cute bandeau top. Love the look.
Haha a funny way to test the temperature ;)... wish it was a little warmer in in Holland though! Love the cropped top, the back is stunning!

I can't believe you found something so on-trend as that top at Plato's Closet! You look amazing, and make "cropped" look chic. That's a hard, but worthwhile feat!
This may be one of my favorite outfits of yours. You look amazing!
LOVE the top! You look amazing! I feel your pain with the heat. It's been 100 everyday here in Texas.
I am REALLY loving this outfit - the colours, the top, everything!
