The Dog Days of Summer

After spending a week in Saskatoon where the temperatures were near freezing, I was not prepared for the humidity that Ottawa was presenting me upon my return. Even though we are far from the dog days of summer, I decided to celebrate the heat by wearing dogs - well, poodles that is (which FYI was just named as one of the newest trends by Who What Wear)

Although it's one of my favourite shirts, it has a tulip back, so I normally only pull it out on the weekends. With the extreme heat and humidity I wanted something flowy while at work, so I paired it with my favourite pencil skirt and tucked it in to conceal it's lack of back-coverage.

It was perfect!

The best part of this outfit was that it easily transitioned from day to night. All I needed was a swipe of lipstick and I was ready for a night on the town with the boy.

When it feels like the dog days of summer, why fight it! It's always better to join 'em!
