Jackson Square

There was a point on Saturday that the summer heat in San Francisco got so hot it necessitated a break along the shadier side streets of Jackson Square. For the first time in a while it was almost humid in the city. That all changed, of course, as soon as the bay winds picked up. People got their layers out, and eventually even some parkas made an appearance for the rest of the evening.

I couldn't help myself. I had to post another set of the photos we took in Dixon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed lounging around in an authentic retro poolside environment in my lady chic outfit. In reality, the Acne pencil skirt is doing all the work in these photos. The school girl jacquard fabric in a ladylike pencil shape, accentuated with edgy zippers, is the centerpiece of the look to me. It fits like a dream, and literally, required no hemming or tailoring at all. On a pencil skirt. So instead of calling this a repetitive topic, let's instead look at it as a celebration in buying a fitted piece off the rack and wearing it like it was made for you. Works for me.
