We’re getting just beyond transition time – it’s May 20th and almost the End Of The World. We’re getting restless and reckless and damn close to busting out our summer clothes and just throwing a jacket on top. Well, you know what? Go for it. If we’ve only got one day left, hell, even if we don’t, bring on your new warm weather purchases. A few extra layers (and some neutral colors) will make it work right now.

(In order of appearance to me)

High Waist Native Shorts | Pendelton Meets Opening Ceremony

Here the outfit began, a tall cut flounce short with an old time print.

Loose Knit Crop Top | Wool and the Gang

Hand-knit by Peruvian women, this cotton crop breathes and fits the high waist proportion.

Striped Blazer | Topshop

Make it work aprop with a sport jacket, and make the Man Repeller proud of your pattern smashing.

Lace Bike Shorts | I Still Love You

These will be your new essential. Safety shorts with subtle pizzazz.

Thigh Rise Knit Socks | Pendelton Meets Opening Ceremony

With light patterned details in the knits (think horseshoes and snakeskin), these’ll give you added warmth for a light chill.

Rounded Salmon Frames | Cacharel

Even on a rainy day, it’s good to be optimistic.

Box Stitch Braid Ribbon | 3.1 Philip Lim

Match the native print with a lanyard stitch from your childhood (or maybe just mine?).

Jaded Rock Ring | Kenneth Jay Lane

The jade stands alone emboldened by the salmon surrounding it.

Wicker Flap Satchel | Stella McCartney

This only works for work if you don’t need to bring your own computer. (AKA I can’t wear this to work)

Wood Wedge Nude Bootie | Maury and Eve

I first chose these, but suede and rain don’t get along. And as this May is raining on our parade, stick to platforms that can take weather the storm.
