It's getting hotter and hotter by the minute and there's only one thing that beats the heat- cotton. I'm all for wearing cotton and natural fabrics in summers. Both the shirt and skirt I have on are cotton, although different textures. The shirt is a softer, slightly thicker material than the skirt. When I was taking these photos I realized both my top and bottom have been designed by me. Haha. I fell in love with the color of this shirt while shopping for textiles in Manama. It was also, of course, the perfect cotton blend I was looking for. I wanted more button-downs and I love them in a flowy, soft material so they have a more feminine feel. The skirt's material was bought while I was holidaying in Bangkok a couple of years back. I fell in love with the print and knew I was going to make a skirt from it. The funny thing is, after I bought the material, I started seeing floral print on a baby blue background everywhere. I guess the fashion industry loved it as much as I did. 

I paired the shirt with this skirt to bring out the pink accents in the print. I love the overall uber-soft, uber-spring and uber-pastel effect of the ensemble. Calming for the body as well as the mind, don't you think? I accessorized with a delicate gold bar necklace and earring set, statement watch and delicate little midi rings. I finished with black chunky-heeled pumps and a neutral bag. With all the colors going on in the clothes, the bag and shoes had to be neutral. 

On another note, Ramadan has started and my body {and mind!} is taking time to adjust to the new timings. I mean, everything happens after sunset! I have classes that finish at 11 pm! My circadian rhythm is all out of whack. But I'm loving the extra time I have. At least I get to finish lots of small projects and things I've been putting off for ages.

How about you? How's Ramadan going for you this far? Or just June for that matter? Let me know in the comments below!
