When? August 2010 (and August 8, 2012)
What for? A summer visit to family a couple of years ago, back when we were living and working overseas in the UAE. This is what I wore on a hot summer day in the Texas Hill Country, on an afternoon playing disc golf with my husband and awesome brother-in-law. I still have every piece of this outfit, and this tunic is a very thin cotton, which is fantastic for a hot day.
And I wore the same outfit today, two years later, on yet another afternoon playing disc golf.
Details?
- Tunic: Woolworths, UAE (2009)
- Long shorts: Dockers via Kohls, years ago
- Sandals: Payless, years ago
- Fedora: Stetson, hat shop in Amsterdam (2010)

Jen, I began a new idea for a post a while back. I think I called it same day last year whereby, if I did not have a post for that, I would draw from my previous post the same day the year before. I hope this makes sense, I may do that today. Love your hat, goes great with your outfit. Dawn suitcase vignettes xo This post reminded me of my idea…thanks!
Thanks Dawn — and so glad my post reminded you of your idea! I’ve sent some more details via email… so happy you’ll be guest posting soon!
