It’s August and by now you’ve probably grown tired of your weekend wardrobe. The same items you were so excited about last April just don’t seem to cut it any more. The sun has faded your swimsuit, your white sneakers never made it out of the Kane County Fairgrounds alive and your favorite shirt has become a gardening smock. Sound familiar?
Although no one wants to restock their closet with summer items this late in the season, there is a colorful alternative. Spruce up what you already have with a multicolored assortment of easygoing pieces that will take you right into fall.
Colorful caps and ceramic charm necklaces might be just what the doctor ordered for your dog day wardrobe doldrums. Sherbet colored Keds will add spark to faded khakis, and classic menswear shirts cover up swimsuits, also look great with jeans and are seasonless. All of these pieces can add colorful punch to your fading summer style.
