While Italy does seem to be doing a number on my laundry situation (you can't wear things nearly as many times between washes when it's so hot out!), it has definitely been delivering in terms of photo locations. We took these photos on our last day in Rome at the Caracalla Baths, an amazing ruin site full of seagulls, flowers, and incredible mosaic fragments. After the craziness of the Colosseum and Forum, it was so nice to be able to wander an uncrowded ancient site at a really leisurely pace.
This outfit is one of those that just didn't photograph as well as it made me feel. While my billowy silk top may fuel internet rumors that I'm pregnant (just like last time I wore it! And no, I'm not.), its light fabric and loose fit make it a pretty great option for hot days spent in the sun. This weekend I paired it with a couple of underutilized pieces from my wardrobe, these white hoop earrings and my black flats. I try to be careful buying shoes, especially when traveling, but somehow these flats wound up just a hair too small to be worn on hot days, so they've been floating around at the bottom of my bag, unworn, for quite some time now. I love the studded embellishments, but their unsuitability for long days spent walking means they might wind up being sent home before the summer really hits.

i love that top. i think it's perfect, pregnancy rumors be damned.
ReplyDeletei wish that photography could capture the billowy flow of garments in real life.
All your Rome photos are making me nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteI really like the simplicity of this outfit! That last picture of you is absolutely gorgeous, by the way.
ReplyDeleteYou don't look pregnant at all. Shame on all those terrible rumor spreaders! Such a beautiful place. Take care! Amanda
ReplyDeleteI love this look from head to toe, and your top is such a gorgeous color. Perfect for being a stylish tourist!
ReplyDeleteI love this look from head to toe, and the top is such a gorgeous color. You look like a perfect stylish tourist!
ReplyDeleteyour top matches the yellow flowers in the grass perfectly!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this -- it looks easy, yet so chic and pulled together. I'm a little envious. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd not to be indelicate, but if someone thinks this shirt makes you look pregnant, they can stfu.
That top is such a gorgeous color and it really flatters you. Who cares about silly internet rumors. You look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love it too! But I think it is definitely more of an in-person thing. Ah well!
ReplyDeleteHa, I can totally imagine! Perhaps you'll just have to return the favor and start taking your pictures in Copenhagen. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I definitely feel like I'm drawing to dressing a lot simpler in the summer - once the weather heats up, I just can't be bothered with picking out more than three things!
ReplyDeleteHa! The rumor thing was really just a joke - I got food poisoning the last time I wore this top, so there were a few only-half-serious guesses that it might have been morning sickness. Nothing serious or mean-spirited though! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm definitely looking forward to remixing this sunny yellow with some bright skirts for some major color-blocking this summer.
ReplyDeleteI know! We actually realized as we were leaving that there was a huge patch of all yellow flowers a little further along on the site, and wished we'd taken photos there! Oh well. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you. :) And not to worry about the pregnancy thing - just a few light-hearted comments from friends, which I can always take.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you Loren!
ReplyDeleteThis ensemble is perfect, I would literally wear it as is including the hoops. There is something about black flats, skinny black pants, and a punch of color that's so classic and chic. And you definitely don't look pregnant!
