Prints, summer whites, and curly hair

Today I went au naturale with the hair. As much as I straighten and torment my hair into anything but it's natural state, it is really nice to have the option of wild woman hair.

I bought this dress online at HauteLook. I loved the print, high neckline, and moderately dipped hemline. It's borderline inappropriate without something underneath (tallgirl problems) which is definitely not office friendly. It was much cooler here today and I thought about throwing on my (faux) leather leggings but I had an overwhelming fear that the temperature would rise and I'd wind up a sweaty mess. Instead I threw my white Free People slip dress on as a skirt. Cool and comfy.

Wear it Again Wednesday

For those of you who don't know, it is ungodly hot in Boston right now. And while I love a little swelter, living in a tiny, un-airconditioned apartment with a small, heat producing furball makes getting dressed a somewhat melty process. Once I was out the door it became a different story, but standing in front of the closet this morning all i could think about was what would result in the least amount of stickiness. My first thought was to throw on my neon yellow cotton dress (see photos). Then I remembered that pre-college is in session and decided to throw something over it to make the outfit a little more teenager/work friendly.

I had designated this skirt for the donation bin a while back but snapped it up for today's look. It's light, breezy and doesn't cling in the heat. In other words, it's perfect for today.
