Oh hello Summer.

I dug out this old beach hat from my trip to Phuket about 2 years ago and given how I was going there again on the day I shot this look, I thought it was only appropriate to make it part of my outfit. Granted, I'm holding it a little excessively in this series of shots. Chalk it up to one of those 'Why Mona, why?' moments.

Anyway. How much do I love these pants? They're off-the-charts comfortable, work for both day and night AND in monochrome. I added some gold touches to this look to channel that bye-honey-I'm-off-to-the-Hamptons-to-buy-a-beach-house! feel. Hey, a girl can dream.

Speaking of the beach, even though it was practically raining every day I was in Phuket (I literally did not use a drop of sunblock), I miss being there like crazy! That laid-back vibe and oh lordy lord the food. SIGH. Fingers crossed I'll be going back in August. For now, its back to work full steam ahead!
