Tucson Summer

Happy first day of summer everyone! Now, if any of y’all have ever visited Tucson in the summer before, you would know that’s it’s really hot, so basically it’s felt like summer since April or May. I’m sweating before 8 AM on a typical day.

To celebrate the Tucson summer, I’m showing you my typical summer uniform, ya know, if I didn’t have to work full time. On the weekends, you can practically always catch me in a lightweight top with some high waisted shorts. I wear my Birks because, after a long week of wearing pointy-toed feet traps from hell work shoes, my feet just need a break. The Gizeh is my favorite style and they don’t even look that bad, from my own perspective! In fact, I think they look rather cute here and I’ve worn them with plenty of dresses in the past that looked cute too.

The sunglasses and cactus earrings were an impulse buy, because I honestly have no self control. When I saw the earrings at a store down the street from my office, I checked the price tag and bought them without a second thought. The sunglasses took a little more self-convincing. They’re super on trend, but I didn’t think I could pull off the see-through lenses look, so I went with the darker colored lenses. Plus, they’re way more versatile this way too.

What is your go-to uniform in the summer?

Hi - my name is Kirsten! I am currently based in Chicago after a long cross-country move from Arizona. What will you find here? I love sharing all things sustainability and slow fashion, any of my day-to-day shenanigans, the latest new hobbies I picked up, and whatever concert or music festival I can find. Welcome and thanks for popping in to my little corner of the world wide web!

      Thank you! I wear this shirt all the time – even to work – it’s just so flattering and goes with everything! And I’m a sucker for a good pair of Levi’s!

      Thank you so much! I seriously bought them on a whim during my lunch break because they looked just like this pair from Free People that I was dying to get!

    I love this look! I usually go for shorts in the summer and a cute tank top or short sleeved shirt, but I have a hard time finding a long-sleeved blouse that’s light enough. The one you’re wearing looks perfect and super comfortable!

      Thank you! This one is perfect for everything – I even wear it to work! I don’t like how tank tops look on me so I had to improvise!

      Thanks! I’m obsessed with all things cactus – maybe that’s why I love Arizona! Let me know if you’re ever in the area – I love to connect with other bloggers!

      Thanks Taylor! I seem to do that to a lot of my tops since it’s a great way to show off your figure without too-tight of a top!
