Sporty Girl Series: Touch of Tennis
This outfit is reminiscent of days I used to play tennis with my dad on the weekends when I was younger (minus the boots, of course). It's classic and flirty, with the playfulness of the pleated skirt matching the cuteness of the polka dot bow.

Sporty Girl Series
The Olympics are coming! Although I'm not looking forward to "an expected 1 million visitors" in London everyday causing major crowding, I must say it is all getting pretty exciting over here. The Olympic rings are hanging from Tower Bridge and the athletes are arriving. I'll also be going to an Olympic-themed bloggers event where I'll be competing (playfully) against fellow writers! To get into the spirit of the Olympic 2012 games, I'm putting together a sporty girl series to combine femininity and athletics for the sports-crazed season. You can get creative, and assemble outfits mixing in mesh, stripes, or drawstrings before you're off to watch your favorite sporting event... whether you have a ticket or just watching at home.

How to Dress Up for Harsh Summer Weather
Summer weather seems to be getting the best of many of us around the world—heat waves in the US, and never ending rain with chilly nights in the UK. But, it doesn't have to mean a sacrifice of style!
For cold/rain: This type of weather can be tricky during the summer. The temperature might sit just between warm and cool during the day and into the evening, but dips to a much lower temperature just as you're getting ready to walk from one bar to the next. And if you're in a city like London, it can rain at any given time. It's best to stick with thicker materials, like the wool skirt below. Because it is open and flares, the humidity won't make you feel uncomfortable in the fabric, and the wool can keep you a bit more warm. A light jacket can be worn over a short sleeve or tank top for varying temps. If it might rain, never leave your house without a little umbrella that'll fit in your purse. Suede shoes are my favorite, which doesn't hold up well in the rain but the black ones below can mask any damage (just don't wear your most expensive pair).
For extreme heat: I'm from Arizona, so I'm no stranger to unbearably hot weather. During the summer, the low temperatures there are generally hotter than the high temperatures in London. It can be tempting to wear very little, but the outfit below is a great way to dress up a bit more revealing ensemble. A bustier top and flowy, light fabric will keep you cool. The heels I picked out are beautiful with the skirt and top, but if you want your feet to breathe, you can opt for a pretty pair of sandals.

Summer School: Show Up to Class in Style
It's no secret that schoolgirl outfits tickle me with excitement. This skirt with suspenders from ModCloth makes me want to carry my books with one arm, while shyly waving at my crush in the hallway right before I run to the park and grab a swing before anyone else jumps on. And I am way past the age to have this excite me! But, oh, how I love this outfit. This combination is perfect for summer school (or for recreating memories), as the white short-sleeve v-neck will leave you cool under the well structured skirt and straps. The shoes work perfectly with a light pair of frilly socks. You'll hear school bells ringing all day.
