I hate summer. There I said it. I hate pretty much everything about summer: the heat, the humidity, the sun (my mortal enemy) being out a disproportional amount of the day, the sunbathers and how they trigger these profound school-marmish tendencies that makes me want to scold them for not using sunscreen and say things like "oh sure a tan may look cute now but wait until you're a wizened old hag at 40". I just want Fall to came already so I can wear a cardigan and walk home in the still of twilight and occasionally wake up to find a dew-covered spiderweb outside my window (prettiest thing in nature). I knew I had hit the apex of my summer hatred (so I really will get less whiny from here on out) the other day when I cast-on a heavy woolen cape. Much like my pagan ancestors lit candles against the darkness of mid-winter as a reminder that summer would come, I knit woolens as a reminder that summer will end and actually it gets quite cold here.

This outfit looks perfect for summer!
Watch pendant - it's that what it's called? I love those! I have two myself.
Unfortunately, to me, there's not much beauty in a Northern German fall or winter (well, some, to be honest, but not much). Actually, I have to be careful not to fall into depression each November.
Very cute outfit! The "belt thing" is so adorable, and I love your accessory choices. I'm not a huge fan of summer either, at least not when it gets over 100 (which is does in my area for at least a month each year!). I'm definitely a spring/fall girl.
Sal - Yes, I have to say, I spent a week in August in Hesse (which is even in the south) and I have to say that I could certainly get used to summer if it was like that here, but can see how winter would be more trying.
Victorian Kitty - Thanks! I have lived in a few places where it gets in the 100s (including Houston, where we also had exciting hurricane possibilities every summer), but the pattern of life in summer was so different. There I spent all day in air conditioning, scurrying from the car to a building and more than a few minutes outside seemed unbearable. Here, it is not that hot, but I walk everywhere so in some ways the heat is much more affecting. Still, I am perfectly content with it not getting that hot even if it would give me the excuse to take the bus ;)
Great outfit!! LOVE the belt-wrap-thingy!
Who takes your pictures of you? do you use a timer, or is there someone in your life whom I have not yet met???
It is, of course, blisteringly hot here!!!
I just use a timer.
