déjeuner en bleu


This is absolutely my favorite one-piece for many reasons. The color is so bright and beautiful and is the 'perfect summer day sky blue' that brightens everything up when I wear it! The fabric is heavier, and the lace/appliqué (what would you call this?) is so stunning and interesting and well done that it takes this piece to the next level of gorgeous and looks appropriate for a summer to fall transition piece. The cut is slightly fitted, but perfectly done with interesting details that make it so great: pockets (yipeeee!), a sash-tie belt, puffy sleeves, buttoned cuffs, and a gold zipper in the back. It is truly a great outfit, and so easy.


I've worn it for dinner with heels and jewelry to make it a wow wow stand out outfit, as well as with these adorable booties recently for my girlfriend's birthday lunch. Either way, you can't go wrong with investing in pieces that are interesting, unique, well made, good fabric, comfortable, pretty, fun to wear, and make you feel GREAT when you have them on, and that is what's most important.

The booties are a super soft flexible suede in nude which makes the leg elongate, doesn't take away from the intricate pattern of the outfit, and also adds the feeling that I'm dressing for fall. You could pair it with high heels, kitten heels or a fancy heavier sandal-even high boots would be adorable in a neutral hue! Hmmm, next time I am going to give this a go.....

So in the quest for trying to not dress summer-y, but of course different, cute and season appropriate at the same time, I think the shorts 'onesie' is the way to go. You could really dress them up for evening; throw a longer blazer on top, slip on some knee high boots, or comfy heels and the look is fresh! The shorts onesie does a nice job for either day or night and depending on what you pair with it and layer with it, it can be completely appropriate for your climate and style.

Cheers and lots of love to everyone. xo
