Sidewalk Style: Fuss-Free for Summer

It’s 90 degrees and humid at 9 AM—summer in Washington has finally arrived. Haute mom Makia Smith Thomas knows how to beat the heat.

By Rachel Cothran

Makia Smith Thomas, 31
Department of Housing and Urban Development, employee
With her son, Kirk Junior, or “KJ”

What she’s wearing:
Dress and shoes from Urban Outfitters, bracelets from Forever 21.

Is it a challenge to get dressed in the morning with a three-year-old?
“You just get up an hour earlier, but it’s easier that he’s a boy. A crisp white shirt is my staple at work. I buy them probably twice a month. I wear them with black pants, Via Spiga pumps, and a red or yellow bracelet.”

What do you wear on the weekend?
“My friend Tristan Blake has been making distressed, bleached jeans. They’re so cute. I went to Amsterdam and Geneva, and people there were stopping me and asking where I got them.”

What will you wear this fall?
“I’m really into cute blazers, and I want to get some really high boots. I saw a girl last night at Republic Gardens with a really cute short dress and really high boots. It was a cute look but not when it’s still 90 degrees outside. I’d like to do a lot more of that this fall.”

Rachel says:
Makia’s filmy dress is perfect for hot days, and I love her sandals. With minimal jewelry, the focus is on her great legs and enviably dewy skin. The look is pulled together but appropriately fuss-free.

Weigh in on Makia's style!

Something else is that while looking for a good on-line electronics retail outlet, look for web shops that are constantly updated, keeping up-to-date with the most recent products, the best deals, plus helpful information on products and services. This will ensure you are dealing with a shop that stays on top of the competition and provide you what you need to make knowledgeable, well-informed electronics expenditures. Thanks for the essential tips I have really learned through the blog.

Superb blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Cheers!

I have noticed that of all types of insurance, medical health insurance is the most dubious because of the turmoil between the insurance plan company’s need to remain adrift and the consumer’s need to have insurance policy. Insurance companies’ revenue on health and fitness plans are low, consequently some corporations struggle to generate income. Thanks for the strategies you reveal through your blog.

She looks amazing. It’s always a pleasure to see a woman(especially a Mom) that is comfortable in her own skin...and knows how to dress it.

Very sexy. Who is she? She should be a sexy, curvy, chocolate model. I agree that the outfit does a good job of showing off her sexy legs. Is she single? The little boy has a cool style too. very yatch club.
