I think it’s clear by now that I’ve happily embraced suit shorts as a key part of my summer style. It’s always a surprise how quickly I can come around to liking a particular closet item. I went from feeling intimidated by these shorts, to pairing them with everything that I can find. Although the…

A Case for Wild Prints
Just when my wardrobe started to follow a minimalist pattern, this ice cream print dress has joined the conversation. This is exactly why I hesitate to subscribe to one particular aesthetic. I stumbled upon this dress at a warehouse sale recently, and although I couldn’t figure out how I’d style it, it was simply too…
A Vintage Summer
Lately I’ve been really into the idea of a vintage summer. I watched “Roman Holiday” for the first time, and all of my yearnings for an adventurous and Audrey Hepburn themed season seem to stem from this place. Think picnics, evening strolls, and reading in the sunshine. Not to mention the fashion! There are so…
A Bike Short Alternative
Hello Summer! I always feel like summer dressing takes so much more brain power than it does for any other season. It’s funny because the summer heat means less clothes but somehow, less items feel more complex to pull together. When temperatures consistently reach the 90s, I find myself either rewearing the same combination, or…
Dragging Hemlines
I’ve worn several questionable fashion trends over the years and somehow, the one that has given me the most pause is dragging hemlines. People are wearing too long pants with too flat shoes. Without a care in the world! In fact, it’s that very lack of care that makes the look so appealing. Maybe today’s…
From Night to Day
Can you take a tube top from night to day? That is exactly what I’m trying to figure out with this outfit. The obvious answer is yes. However, I’ve almost exclusively worn this top as an evening look. Breaking it out in daylight hours feels a little strange. Nevertheless, I’m always up for a challenge,…
Beach Town Vibes
I’ve only been to the beach once so far this summer. And yet, that hasn’t stopped me from dressing like I live there. There’s something about that casual, beach town vibe that has me mentally dreaming of a coastal move. A variety of factors may be preventing me from actually living at the beach (a…
Suit Shorts Take Two
Suit shorts take two! These shorts have become the unexpected style hero of the summer. I never thought I’d wear a pair of shorts made out of suiting fabric. I also never thought I’d ever touch capris, and we know how that turned out. So, in the spirit of ignoring sweeping absolutes, I’m once again…
Again with the Summer Denim?
Again with the summer denim? In these temperatures? Ok, so this outfit feels distinctly fall inspired. However, seeing as the majority of my day will be spent indoors with AC, I’m going to roll with it. I’m trying not to give up on my goal of wearing more color. However, the likelihood of a colorful…
The Every Season Jean
The seasons may change, but my love for this pair of Wrangler’s remains. My singular complaint about summer is the inability to regularly wear my favorite pairs of jeans. Thankfully, we do experience the odd dip in temperature, and it’s on days like these where I run straight for my Wrangler’s. This pair is quickly…
