I haven’t been the least bit fancy with my clothes this summer, thanks partly to my broken elbow (no too-tall shoes or complicated blouses for me), partly because I’m lazy, but mostly because I’ve just liked simple dresses and sandals best.  They’re the easiest, and they make the most sense for my lifestyle, which is about as un-fancy as you can get.  It’s weird to think that I used to walk around in five inch heels on the regular; now it’s usually old lady Worishofers all week, and sensible three inch wooden heeled sandals on the weekend.   (Atlanta’s so fancy that three inch heels practically count as flats here.)

Looking at Charles Anastase stuff always makes me wish I could dress up more (and had the money to do it).  In a perfect world I’d be spending the summer (straight-elbowed) in pastel silk Charles Anastase dresses and stumbling around in those platforms of his that would be extreme even in Atlanta.
