Weekly Wears: Carry It With You

Dress: c/o Choies;  Backpack: ELF;  Boots: c/o ModCloth;  Glasses: c/o BonLook (these are Eva in Sepia Kiss);  Necklace: Olivia Mew

I knew I'd get a lot of questions about how I wear a dress so short, so I thought I'd just share right here. Whenever I wear something that is even a little questionable, I just stick shorts underneath.  You never know when the wind is going to kick up all crazy or Poesy is going to play a hilarious game of peek-a-boo.  ;)

This week has officially cooled down and has me making plans for fire pit nights and shopping for knee socks.  I don't know if this weather will stick around, but just like the beginning of any new season, I'm all excited and pumped for the change.  I looooove sitting on the porch swing in the evening, curled up under a blanket.  It's the little things.

  2. I do the same! usually I take an old, ripped pair of pantyhose or leggings and cut them to be thin bicycle short length.
    Have a wonderful day!

  4. I had made the mistake of not wearing shorts with a short (and really lightweight) dress while wandering around downtown San Diego for the first time. My arrival was definitely more of a peep show than I would have ever wanted.

    ps love the sleeves on that dress!

  7. I do the shorts thing too. I've had my share of brisk wind mishaps and I know I have mooned passer by's by mistake. The shorts keep me from getting mistaken for a mooner.

  9. I know exactly what you mean. Babydoll anything = definitely gonna wear shorts underneath! Some things we should just keep to ourselves, y'know? ;)

    Anyways, you look lovely as usual. I have to scroll past your closeups quickly, though, because I'm so jealous of your eyebrows, haha!

  15. Total short envy happening right now. I do the same thing! Usually spandex shorts are my go-to for under dresses; just a little more comfortable for me. :)

  16. Ahaha! I love that picture of you showing the shorts underneath your dress. I wear shorts under my dresses pretty much all summer.

  21. I just picked up a few cute tops at my favorite thrift shop yesterday and they are both alllll most long enough to wear as dresses. I have a cute pair of solid black yoga shorts that I wear underneath tops like these and their perfect! Also I love knee socks for the fall too, I always adore the one's from Free People (even though they can be a little pricey), and Target has some cute ones too around this time of the year too. Thanks for the post Katie, you are as cute as a button! <3

  22. I love these murals in your photo!! It should be legally mandatory to have a pretty painting on every building.
    Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning knee socks. I need to get mine out of seasonal storage boxes immediately! This is perfect weather for them!
