Today's outfit was thrown together with the hot and humid summer heat in mind -- a 3/4-length cotton cardigan that I do not mind sweating profusely in, a silky sleeveless tank that is cool to the touch, and a pencil skirt because legs need to breathe too. There's no practical reason for the accessories chosen other than they are simply some of my current favorites.

Earlier in the year, one of the security guards at work stopped to inquire about my tulle midi skirt. I was disappointed to tell her that it was from a couple seasons ago, therefore sold out. We then reminisced about items that we loved and regretted not buying multiples of. I told her if I ever see this skirt again, she will be the first to know. Lo and behold, Banana Republic came through this season and brought back this skirt in two colors! I wasn't sure which one of us was more excited -- me sharing the news or her upon hearing the news.

Today's fashion inspiration is thanks to Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex at Wimbledon from last month. What is it about British women (she counts now, right? Also looking at you, Victoria Beckham & Amal Clooney) who are just so chic? I'll never tire of perusing through their photos, new and old.

That saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" could apply to outfits as well. I've worn this top and skirt combo before and will continue to do so because they're a great pairing. For today's look, I tweaked the accessories a bit just to keep things fresh for the blog.

This scallop skirt was one of those impulse buys. I liked it enough and also needed more items to qualify for free shipping. Fast forward a few seasons... wow, I'm so glad I took a chance because the skirt has become a closet horse -- one of the most worn and versatile pieces I own. Stay tuned for a ways to wear post in the near future!
