Summer Layers

Recently, I’ve seen more than my fair share of rain-ridden, gloomy days across the country. I spent a few days in San Fran this week where I was formally introduce to what West Coasters refer to as the “June Gloom.” (I should have anticipated it having read this recent post by Jacey!)

While I don’t mind an excuse to lay low and catch up on my favorite TV shows (as of now, that’s Revenge), I do wish the sunshine would stick around on a more consistent basis from noon to 4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. For my legs’ sake, if nothing else. I’m so pale!

I’m also not complaining that I haven’t yet had to store my favorite BCBG jacket I just bought it in white, too, since I wear this one so frequently. All sale on BCBG’s site is an additional 20% off (plus 10% if you use the code BCBG10 — you’re welcome and/or I’m sorry.)

  1. ssshhhh on the S-A-L-E word! It’s KILLING me! Between LOFT, Gap, Calypso, Bendels…. my wallet is dying…. a sweet death, but dying nonetheless.

  2. i woke up to the definition of june gloom this morning. cold and overcast. and then checked the weather for this weekend. 95-105. i would rather have the gloom instead of melting in my house with no air conditioning.

  3. ughh, ahh.. the worst feeling in the world is clicking on a link, adding the item to your basket, just to realize it’s sold out. i’ve been eying that jacket for MONTHS - i think since the first time you rocked it. point is, i love it, you rock it, & it’s sold out - insert tear here.

    but on a happier note, the sun is shining AND i ordered those joes jeans so let’s link up & do a post, sista!
    TGIF!

    • Oh noooo! I’m sorry, that really is the worst. This jacket does have a drawstring on the inside so you can cinch it/let it out to appear baggier. Maybe a small (Bloomie’s!) would work?

      Hope you’re having a great wknd!

  5. Hi! First time here! This outfit really compliments your great legs! I also found it interesting that you chosed white shoes instead of wedges or flats, great look!
