I am not sure if the title of this post caught your attention or not, but I really hope it didn’t pique your interest very much. I chose it randomly as I was loading these images into WordPress and James Taylor’s song Copperline was running through my head like an annoying earworm. A very annoying earworm, indeed, because despite how much I love James Taylor’s music, Copperline is probably one of my least favorite songs of his. But it does apparently have a very catchy tune because the damn thing is still earworming me a day later.

Even though this is not a favorite JT song of mine, the lyrics have always reminded me of my hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which was known as Steeltown in the heyday of Bethlehem Steel. Coincidentally, I wore this outfit when we visited Bethlehem in August to deliver a very special graduation gift to an old friend. So the song title seemed like a suitable title for this post.

But wait.

There’s even more relevance to the title in my accessories. I am wearing one of my favorite earrings and necklace set that is made from copper washers by my dear friend Michelle of My Bijou Life. Copperline. Copper washers. Copper jewelry. It’s all starting to make (non)sense now, isn’t it?

Michelle sent me this set for my birthday back in May and I wear it frequently so I really wanted to share a post featuring it. I layered the necklace with two other favorites, my horn necklace which I bought in a boutique in Asheville when I visited Michelle in February and a wire wrapped sea glass necklace that I purchased at my local farm market this summer.

I wore this easy outfit to have brunch with my sister and her husband before driving back to New York from Pennsylvania. It is the same outfit I wore for Ralph’s Lion King show with the Clayton Youth Theater this summer so I knew it was perfectly comfortable for spending hours in the car. The pants are really old (they are the same as the tan ones I wore for our Magnificent 8 post on linen). They are loose fitting in a comfortable linen blend with an elastic waistband making them so great for travel. I wore my favorite Torrid Super Soft tunic (I have this top in 7 or 8 different colors/prints) which is also wonderful for travel and basically anything else in life.

I acquired this floral kimono 5 years ago from a collaboration with Banggood. When I last shared it here, I styled it with gingham pants. I do like the print mixing in that outfit, but I definitely prefer the kimono over this all black outfit better. It really allows for the floral print to show a little more dramatically. And, of course, I completed this warm weather look with my reliable rope sandals. With a quick switch of footwear and sleeve length, this outfit can make an easy transition straight into fall.

That is all I have for you today and this week. I had sick kids home again for half of this week which has set me back on my room painting goals. So this weekend will be spent with a paint brush in my hand! If you have any good Audible recommendations, I would love for you to share them in the comments. I like to listen to audiobooks while I am painting and so far I haven’t found a new title that has captured my interest.

I hope y’all have a magnificent weekend!
