Every year around this time, my wardrobe quietly begins to shift, as if it’s syncing with the temperature. The breeze in early summer always carries a gentle warmth, the sunlight is no longer harsh, and even the air seems to whisper, “Dress up and go outside.” Today was one of those just-right sunny days—not too hot, not too dry. I got up early, made myself a cup of lemon tea, and stood in front of my closet deciding what to wear, feeling inexplicably cheerful.
Lately, I’ve completely fallen in love with floral dresses. Maybe it’s their naturally romantic vibe—they always make me think of being on holiday somewhere in the south of France. This morning, I wore a cream-colored floral dress. The hem fluttered slightly as I walked, and the soft fabric felt gentle against my skin. The floral print was made up of tiny daisies, nothing too flashy, just the right amount of sweetness. I paired it with the straw bag I’ve been carrying nonstop lately, and the whole outfit felt like a breath of fresh air.
Straw bags have become my go-to accessory this season. They don’t have the formality of leather bags or the casual vibe of canvas ones—they strike a perfect balance between elegance and ease. Most importantly, they feel like they belong in early summer. Whether I’m heading to a café, strolling through a park, or meeting friends for tea, it always fits right in. Today, I packed a small notebook, a hand cream, and a pink-toned lipstick inside, and that was all I needed.
The weather this time of year can be unpredictable, so I layered a light cardigan over my dress. It was a soft mint green—so fresh and clean-looking. The fabric is almost weightless, and though I barely feel it on, it becomes essential when the wind picks up or I step into an air-conditioned room. These are the moments when I’m grateful for being just a little bit prepared.
For shoes, I chose a pair of simple flat sandals in a creamy beige tone, with delicate straps. Compared to the polished look of heels, the comfort and ease of flats truly win me over. They give the outfit a more relaxed and natural feel—more me, really.
Lately, I’ve also been obsessed with incorporating macaron colors into my outfits. Whether it’s clothing or accessories, these shades just lift my mood. I’ve found that soft blue, pastel yellow, and blush pink go so well together—they’re like a box of gentle, sugary candies. Today’s look subtly combined those tones. Nothing over-the-top, but every detail was chosen with a quiet intention.
Wearing something this airy and delicate, I sat in the little café downstairs for quite a while. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the table. I sipped on an iced latte and flipped through the little book I’d brought with me. Time passed slowly, gently. As I looked up occasionally, I saw people walking by in similarly breezy outfits, all with that early-summer glow on their faces. It felt like the season was embracing us all.
I’ve come to believe that early summer is made for slowing down and dressing softly. Those light, floaty outfits aren’t just about looking good—they’re a reminder to pause, breathe, and enjoy the moment. Life doesn’t always have to be a rush. Sometimes, the prettiest scenery appears when you let yourself move at your own pace.
