Summer Yellow: A Paris Purchase Meets the Home Wardrobe. . .
Yellow's never been a colour I could wear, but I loved this print -- on cotton lawn, gossamer-light, perfect for summer heat -- in a little shop in St. Germain, Paris.
And whether it's the other colours in the print -- that blue! -- or whether my colouring has changed with age, but I quite like it against my face, surprisingly.
I loved wearing it with my white jeans, whose crispness I'd missed while traveling. . .
but it soon became too warm here for me to tolerate jeans, and the only white skirt I have is this flocked cotton one from J. Crew two summers ago.
Hmmmm, don't really love them together when the top's untucked -- those proportions don't quite work on me, do they?
I like it better with a half tuck (full tuck is too severe with my short waist, especially with this high contrast). . .
I know the contrasting textures would make it a Mix Too Far for some, but I'm pleased with the combo, worn with my summer-ubiquitous white Birkenstocks.
A close-up of that print, in case you haven't got enough -- isn't it pretty?!
It's a long weekend here in Canada, and although weekends don't mean the same thing to me as they did before I retired -- and summer was rarely ruled by weekends in my life anyway -- there's something about a sunny August Long Weekend that says Get Outside! Soak It Up! Only a few more weeks of these long, indulgent, days.
So far this weekend we've cycled to Burnaby Lake, picked up vegetables at the weekly Farmers Market, and sat on a blanket on a grassy slope listening to woodwind chamber music in a large botanical garden. Today an out-of-town girlfriend is coming to visit, and meanwhile, as I'm sitting typing this post, a hummingbird has settled in to the small bubble/pool atop our water fountain and is drinking her fill. . . While behind her, the apples slowly but surely ripen on the Scarlet Sentinel tree we planted early spring, last year. . . I'm sorry, but I really must leave you for now. Hummingbirds deserve full attention, no?
