Floral Layered Cake

Life is great, but I have been completely wiped out with exhaustion and have somewhat been taking social media intervals. Spending time with loved ones has been the only thing on my mind. Well, that and a major desire to schedule a spa appointment!  

Here’s an outfit that I wore on a day off. We had friends over for a good catch-up with an early seafood dinner and grilled veggies, and then watched the sunset. It was likely going to be our last barbecue together before everyone’s hectic workload was in full effect.

Most of our guests tend to wear suits or other tailored threads to work, so this was definitely a more comfortable, fun, and casual style of attire. I decided on “girly meets romantic androgyny.” 

I asked for a small—this was so enormous, and clearly the wrong size was tagged, marked, and sent. I pondered how I might modify this piece for future wears. (Ahem, oversize cardigan or dyed jacket perhaps?) Unquestionably, this may just be my scissors talking, but something is absolutely in the works … you can quote me on that!

This top also reminded me of layered cake every single time that I looked at it—so sweet and feminine looking.  So, I decided to pair tougher elements with it to give it some edge. It didn't need too much: a hat, shorts, and a favourite pair of heels seemed just fine.
