How Diva-Rettes Cope With Summer

Summertime can pose an interesting dillema for me at times Darlings. 

While others are content to wear as little as legally allowed and tone down jewelry to the barest of the bare I crave my basic couture diet: bold, layered, decadence. 

Bold clothes, layered pieces, decadent jewelry. It's simply in my blood. 

Suffer for fashion I can do always, but denying 90+ degree temps? Non, that is beyond even me. So I am always searching for new ways to express my personal style under a whole new set of environment conditions. I shall be honest now. I have very little interest in the boho style of earthy prints and 100% cotton 100% of the time  - but -  a friend clued me onto a very interesting spread done in Teen Vogue with the young and oh so adorable actress Selena Gomez. 

As I pored over the photos thoughtfully a smile appeared on my face because Ah! I had found my inspiration. 

While staying safely away from all hints of Woodstock and peace man the style touches on so many adored facets without denying itself. Note the sweet and natural details: a floral-print dress layered over a t-shirt, a sand-colored belt tucking in a poofy dress, floral pin and a big floppy bow all prettying up lush locks.

   

Ah there is the layering I so crave, the piling on of pearls and spotting of lace, bold pieces mixed with unexpected twists. Feminine prep paired with combat boots and neon-colored accessories. Absolutely to die for. 

It seems I've found my uniform for these warm and sunny days. Darlings, what are you planning to live in during the sun-drenched summer months?
