My summer wardrobe starts to morph this time of year. To acclimate to the steady decrease in sun and warmth here in Virginia, I simply start to add layers to my standard summer attire. I’m not one that switches out closets, though I do keep coats in my upstairs sewing room closet.
Generally during the summer I wear skirts and tank tops or short sleeve tee shirts in the office. I don’t wear shoes. I think that is my favorite part of working for myself- no shoes in the office! Liberating, indeed!
As the weather starts to cool, I add a pullover or jacket to the tank top for morning wear. Because by noon, my little sunroom office is HOT and a layer must go. I should also add, this layering technique works beautifully when one becomes a certain age and has certain alarming and sudden rises in core temperature…..
And shoes. Yes, in the winter I must wear shoes. I opt for sneakers or if it is REALLY cold, or a fuzzy pair of bedroom slippers. Underneath my jeans or pants or skirt, I’ll wear tights. I think leggings are really wonderful things and I’m going to knit myself a pair asap.
Do you do a whole wardrobe switch or does your climate allow a layered approach?
The Frugal Musician believes in calendars, notebooks and record keeping in a big way. Record keeping is often very revealing.
I’m a scrapper. And I don’t mean a girl who likes to pick fights.
It’s summer and in the summer the frugal musician often finds herself sitting and musing over this and that when it’s simply too hot to move…
