I am making a plea to Mother Nature. . .please do not take Summer away from me! I still want to wear bright colours, fun florals and short skirts. I am nowhere near ready for jackets or boots or mittens. I promise to be a good girl if you will just give me an Indian Summer this September. Thank you for your consideration.

The colors in this outfit are beyond gorgeous! I love that even though the top was bright, you still went bold on the bottom. I always wear too many neutrals, so you’re my inspiration for today!

Awww, thank you so much for your sweet comments Alyssa!
You are living in the wrong direction! You need to move on down to the southern part of the United States. Most times you can still wear summer clothes through November and December!
Love this look on you- the silhouette is beautiful and the colors are definitely summery!
Ha ha ha, I totally agree Katie! I have no idea why I live in the North. I think San Diego might have the most perfect all year round weather for me! I need to set my sights on moving there.
I love the peplum top and the shape of the skirt together. I’m torn about whether I want summer to end or not!
Thanks so much Rachel!
You love your peplum, don’t you?! You wear it well! As much as I love wearing bright colors, I am so ready for fall (sorry)! But hey, who says you can’t wear colors in the fall? Maybe you should get some cobalt mittens
Sarah’s Real Life
Ha ha, I definitely love me a good peplum. Yes, ha ha, great idea. . .cobalt mittens are now on my list!
Ok. I am trying to hold it in and not gasp with delight in the middle of my office like a total crazy fan girl but I LOVE this outfit SO. MUCH. This makes me want summer to stay forever too, and I hate hot weather!! You look fabulous!
Ha ha ha, that is just the sweetest ever! Thank you so very much Catherine!
Another really amazing look! The silhouette (again) is fantastic and so are the colors!
Beautiful Jenny!

Aww your peplum is so cute! I too am wishing Summer would stay, as it’s hard to go back to work (I’m a teacher)! Enjoy your last few days
http://cardigancrew.wordpress.com/
Oh yes, my Mom’s a teacher too, and she struggles with going back each year. Good luck Maria!
Agreed!!! I am so not ready for summer’s end. Even though I’ll have summer like weather well into October/November since I’m in Florida, the conclusion of August always feels like the end to me. I have been wearing my bright colors as much as possible too. I love this outfit, it’s so bold but totally works on you!
Stephanie
Thank you so much Stephanie! You are so lucky to live in Florida. . .I’m totally jealous!
i love this colour combination on you jenny! you look fantastic. i’m not ready for fall.. kinda. my mind wanders back and forth! xox P

Ha ha, I’ll admit I do like to wear LIGHT layers, but I would take summer over winter any day.
What a gorgeous array of blues!

Thanks so much Alison!
I wish I could steal your entire closet! Another stunning look Jenny! I never think to wear tops over dresses, but this might get me thinking.

Thank you so very much Kathleen!
I hope summer holds out for you, but I love the layers fall brings. So fall can come early in my neck of the woods. Admiring all of those fantastic colors in that peplum top…so beautiful!

Ha ha, actually, I will admit that I like to lightly layer, but to me Fall signifies that Winter is coming, and I HATE winter! Thanks Lindsay!
What a great look. Come to CA. ….our summer just started & will most likely stick around till mid-October.

Hi Jenny. You need to move to Florida. I can wear that clothing all year round!
I’m with the others on this one. You’re killing me with the cobalt blue (my fav) and I have to say that I wish I suited peplums ’cause that one is so pretty…
Cheers,

Oh my, so many of you lovely ladies live in Florida! Looks like that is the place to be! I definitely need to move to a warmer climate. Thanks Tammy!
FINALLY! A blogger who isn’t gushing about fall. UGH! I’m SO not ready for summer to end either. It hasn’t been long enough!
Ha ha ha, thanks so much! I totally agree!
Don’t listen to her mother nature! I am so ready for fall! We had 90+ degrees here in NorCal in April and and am over it now. Unfortuantly it doesn’t completely cool down unril October

Ha ha ha, okay, maybe I should re-write my plea to include an Indian Summer for TORONTO ONLY!
Jenny,
Per usual, I am obsessing over everything you own. I love how your style mixes well chosen high end pieces with carefully curated inexpensive piece. Honestly, if I had the means….my style would more than likely be close to yours! You really inspire me each time I visit your blog! Oh, and Im hoping for an Indian Summer too! Im not ready for fall!

Nico, that is just so lovely of you to write. I sincerely thank you for your sweet words.
I’m going to miss my skirts! I look at my closet thinking, “what am I gonna wear this winter?!?”
Love you outfit! Perfect!
I totally agree!! I really have no clothes for Fall or Winter! I should have started saving for a Fall/Winter wardrobe months ago!
Thanks Kristen!
That is a beautiful top you are wearing . I love my peplums . I never thought I would say this but I am ready for summer to end.
Oh no, don’t curse us!
Just kidding! Thanks so much Ciaa!
haha, i am the opposite! i cannot wait for fall!!!

Yes, it’s a bit sad that summer is ending, but at least fall has some great holidays, which means some great get-togethers!

Thanks Ola! These are definitely great colours for summer!
This color combo is amazing with the floral! I feel the same way about summer, but then I also love fall so Im torn!

Thanks so much Amy!! Fall definitely seems to be everyone’s favourite season. I really need to get on board!
Oh Jenny you look adorable in this outfit!! I do not want summer to go away either but it starts to feel cool in the early morning now (sad sad).
Thank you so much! I know. . .the nights here are getting chilly too!
I’m pleaing right along with you! I love the colors in your outfit!!!
But I do love layers and scarves – at least we have that

Ha ha, thanks Courtney! I do agree, I do love light layers and scarves too, so I’m okay with cooler nights as long as we have warm weather during the day!!!
so, so pretty!

Awww, thanks so much!
Jenny, I have a feeling you will still be rocking your bright colors come winter! I know I will! Super cute outfit per usual, love the flirty feminine vibe of it! It looks like an outfit that’d be perfect for twirling
PS if your bow bangle ever goes missing, I admit it, it was me.
Ha ha ha, okay, at least I know where to look now if I can’t find it!
Thanks so much Miranda!
Great colors in this outfit! But i’m sooo ready for fall! haha…

That is just so sweet! Thanks Monica!
Gorgeous! I have the same top, but I always style it with a pencil skirt. I looks really cute with a full skirt, and I’m definitely going to try it like that:-)
