After I had my hair done on Thursday we were lounging around home when it occurred to me, hair this great shouldn’t be left at home! No one leaves baby in the corner, right? So I put together my stuff for next week’s Aussie Curves theme {double take: one item, two ways} and at the last-minute threw in some clothes so we could grab dinner. Triple outfit win!
Yup. This one and two more for the double take on Monday.
Gosh. I’m so organised it hurts. Loving blogging at the moment. That happens for me sometimes. I get on a roll and posts just pour out of me. It’s a nice change from the wandering around the house sighing because there’s nothing to write about. BUT this post isn’t meant to be about blogging, it’s meant to be about date night. And maybe even the fact I should have ironed my shirt. Whoops.
This time of year when it doesn’t really start to get dark until after 7pm it’s easy for us to fit a lot into the afternoons. Seriously. Summer is my favourite for laying around the backyard talking about the week with Hubby. We drive around enjoying the air con or windows down and wind in MY hair, he’s bald. Early dinners and home for some bad tv is our favourite. We are REALLY cool like that.
Summer though means that it’s HOT around here. Choosing outfits that you aren’t going to suffer from heat exhaustion in is ESSENTIAL. I’ve lived in these light and easy patterned pants this year. Add a singlet or t-shirt and I’m good to go. The chambray shirt is a recent addition. I picked it up in a closet clear out sale and it’s a size bigger than I would normally buy {maybe two} BUT that makes it super easy and breezy to wear. Such a win.

Light, loose clothing is SUCH a summer win, don’t you think?
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I’m an early night nerd too. Super cool – our most common activity is lounge camping haha. Though I can at least explain that away by the air con being in that room!
Ah yes. Sounds like perfection to me. Haha. Hash tag lame. 😉
Absolutely! Love how with light loose clothing I can cover up from the sun a bit more as well (i burn in about a nano second in the sun these days) while still staying cool. Chambray shirt has been on my shopping list for a while – too bad I don’t have your lovely blue eyes to match though wow! Thanks for another inspiring post 🙂
Thank you Amy. I had missed this shirt when it was on sale through the brand. It had been sold out for 6 months or so when it came up on a closet clear out sale. Win! My other chambray shirt {lighter and tighter} serves its purpose but its not very cool for summer. The looser the better in summer.
