Outfit 32 - Petite Fashion Challenge #9 - "Heat Wave Appropriate"

Thanks to Elle of Fast Food & Fast Fashion for hosting this month's Petite Fashion Challenge!  Yay!!  :D  This challenge involved creating an outfit that takes you from the summer heat outdoors to cooler, air-conditioned environments indoors.  

Here's the basic outfit.  The shirt is nice and billowy to allow for maximum air flow, especially to the armpits!  Hehehehe.  =P  The belt looks almost black, but it's suppose to be a dark forest green.

I didn't do much to the outfit except adding a cardigan.  That's how "easy" it is for me.  =P  It doesn't get to 90 degrees around here (darn!) so I'm usually content with the weather outside.  I'm obsessed with cardigans because they're very portable and easy for me to stuff into my purse.  That doesn't mean it comes out wrinkle-free though, sadly!  :/  Oh wells, warmth over looks, right??  ^_~ 

I decided to roll up the sleeves.  :)

The necklace and brooch were both from Claire's (or Icings).  I buy accessories there when they have their 10 for $10 sale.  I remember the good ol' days when it used to be 10 for $5!  Oh, how the times have changed!  =P

And, oh, I finally got my hands on some red shoes, from Target!!  :D  Both a size 5.5 and a size 6 were available, and I chose the size 6 because it felt more comfortable on my toes in the front.  Even though that was the case, I kept stepping out of the shoe while walking, so I definitely need to put in some heel liners and maybe some padding in the front to keep myself from slipping out.  Other than that, I love these shoes!  I never liked the color red as a child, but nowadays, I definitely don't mind wearing it!  =P
