Fashion, Put it All on Me. Don't You Want to See These Clothes on Me. - Lady Gaga

I'm done this summer weather. I can't, anymore. This is going on the 40-something-th day of over 95 degrees in this DMV. For someone who yearns for 65-80 degree weather, I die a bit each day. I have experienced the worst winter ever and I'm experiencing hands DOWN the worst summer ever. This past week, ALONE, we've had 100+ degrees days. Whaaaa? I don't know how peeps in TX and NV and AZ deal with this mess every freakin' summer. I can't deal. How people could yearn for summer and its unbearable sun and humidity is quite shocking. You step out the front door and your nicely it-took-me-damn-near-twenty-minutes-to-press hair has now turned into a furball. You immediately start sweating before you reach your car, which is only 20ft away. You finally get to your car, and before you can even open the door, you've fainted. This is damn near every day. No sir. I'm over it.

Another reason why summer is just not the business for me is because of the lack of fashion. Not a lot of inspired fashion when everybody is damn near naked outside due to 120 degrees. That's why I am a Spring and Fall season kind of girl. Not only does it have great weather (remember, 65-80 degrees makes Ms. Royal Reigns a very happy broad) but also great fashion, too. You guys don't know how much I'm feening for some black tights, over the knee boots, booties, cardigans...*Homer's voice* Mmm...cardigans...scarves, blazers, etc. YOU. JUST. DON'T. KNOW. *le sigh*

So, naturally, I've been scoping out my usual online stores. Feeding my "window" shopping appetite. (nom...nom...nom) Here are a couple of items from my favorite online store, ASOS. Got me preparing for the cooler weather. Yay! Also, hoping these items shall make an appearance in my closet before my birthday month (OMWord, that's like in...*counts fingers*...August, September, October...3 months away! It was just January yesterday! Dead serious.)

Music Note Knitted Jumper

This jumper/sweater had me at hello with those music notes scattered all over (front AND back). I kinda wished it came in a different color (I'm thinking navy blue) but please, it's still nice. And 3/4 sleeves? Once again, hello!

Dobby Mesh Panel Ruched Sleeve

The color red does nothing for me. Not saying, red makes me look dowdy or anything cause, please, any color looks good on me (allow my 5 seconds of cockiness, mmkay?). I'm just not drawn to the color like, say, a purple or yellow. I have only 2 items of red in my closet: a blazer and a boyfriend cardigan. That's it. Just recently I bought my first (and probably last...? *high shrug*) red lipstick: M.A.C. Ruby Woo. Then, of course, it got stolen. So me and red? Not a good look. Loving this dress, though. Especially, the dotted mesh panel.

Ruched Waist Chiffon Dress

Not only does it have an elastic, ruched waist but I'm loving the wintergreen color.

Jersey Batwing Contrast Skirt Dress

This dress is so me. The nude color of the batwing blouse is awesome.

Heart Jacquard Cardigan

Trust and believe I am the person that will buy the same item in two different colors. I mean, if it's cute, it's cute.

Printed Pintuck Front Blouse

I like the 60s/70s vibe of the design with a little twist: it's sheer. Works great with a bodycon skirt (as seen in photo) or tapered slacks or even jeans.

I'm out like like these braids I just took out. I just don't know what next to do with this hair. Hmmph.
