At this time of year I usually find myself scanning the images from the photocalls at the Cannes International Film Festival for a little warm weather clothing inspiration...the attendees usually going for the casual/dressy mix that I'm especially partial to. But this year the pickings were slim...actually, that's an overstatement...there wasn't one outfit that caused that sensation of envy, avarice, and rapid mental closet inventory that a really interesting "streetstyle" picture can induce (and, yes, I'm using the term "streetstyle" incredibly loosely here).

Until, that is, I wandered over to the purple DIARY and came across this picture...
