Midsummer Night Musts.

The Steele Maiden: Midsummer Night Musts(Target Sunglasses; Madewell T-shirt; F21 Lace Skirt; Tulle Sweater sample – cute option here, Nine West wedges – similar here)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned so far living in Southern California – it’s that even in the middle of Summer, if it’s after 5pm you should always carry a cardigan.  So for a midsummer’s night I threw one on to round out an otherwise simple look…



Without the humidity that I’m used to on the East Coast, Summer night’s cool off quickly here – especially since we’re so close to the Ocean.  And while I’m certainly not complaining, I’ve learned that it’s the type of slight chill in the air that means without a cardigan I end up shivering a bit.  This long striped duster style is perfect for tossing on over a casual look with jeans or adding a little coverage to a lace mini as shown here.  A few layered necklaces and a pair of sunglasses (the other California necessity) and I’m ready for an evening stroll.
