Midi Skirt + Baseball Cap

Anthropologie Field Scout skirt (similar) |  Target popover (similar) | Sperry shoes |  J.Crew cap |  FOSSIL bag (similar) 

I just love how baseball caps and mid-length skirts don't go together at all...and still, when you put them together, they work. Plus, a baseball cap hides the effects of humid weather on my curly hair (and trust me, that isn't something you want to see). So win, win. I hope you all have a lovely Labor Day!

It was a two picture sort of day. If you've ever blogged or taken pictures for a blogger, then you know exactly what I mean. Fifty snapped images does not guarantee fifty usable pictures and since my face was in a weird mood, all the perfectly adequate images I might have used were ruined by grimaces or zombie eyes or worse. Sigh. Here's to another off day in front of the camera.

I've always loved the July 4th holiday.  It's just the climax of everything SUMMER...the barbecues, the fireworks and of course, my favorite color, navy.   It's fun dressing for the holiday, but it's so challenging to be festive without looking like an actual, you know, American flag.  So I pulled some options I together using pieces similar to what I already own. May you be inspired, mah dears!
