And, if you're on the West Coast, summer has been arriving here in the afternoons.
Lately, our early mornings have been greeting us with gorgeous gray skies!
Ahhhh glorious June Gloom, my favorite LA "season"
This is when true Angelenos master their art of layering ~
Mornings are gray & sometimes misty, usually chilly.
Afternoons are bright & sunny, warming with each day.
Evenings see the marine layer roll right back in, along with the crisp air
(perfect sleeping weather if you ask me)
So, the general option is to keep a sweater or jacket handy, which usually works out well, until you leave it in your car, the office, etc because you didn't want to carry it along
& then sure enough in rolls the cold.
I know this cuz I do it all the time!
I've been on a kick lately of wanting my hands free & wanting to be easily mobile, so jackets are the first thing to go, I don't want it weighing me down.
But then I'm the one suffering early in the morning or late at night...
silliness...
This is exactly when Sleeves come in handy!!
I've been playing with my new summer goodies & these black attachable sleeves completed today's look :)
First, I scored this cute lil striped knit dress at Target for only $20!!! I know!!!!
So needless to say, I've been dying to wear it!
Here's play by play on the day's style ;)
Pic 1 ~ cute & casual, but a lil basic for a day of meetings downtown, plus the sun wasn't out yet...
Pic 2 ~ decided to add my black sleeves to keep me warm, because I knew I could pop them off & throw them in my back as I walked from meeting to meeting vs. carrying my blazer which I was guaranteed to ditch within an hour or 2...

Pic 3 ~ Pop of a bright color against a black & white palate and the fun begins!
If the sun ain't shining, I'll wrap it around my neck ;)
Pic 4 ~ Ditch the sleeves, keep the pop = summer in the city!
Had a GREAT day!
I'm a big believer in when you're feeling good in your clothes & owning your style,
no matter what it is, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
& the world takes notice!!
ENJOY YOUR STYLE!!!!
