Fade to Grey

J.Crew Linen Tee, 7 For All Mankind Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac in Soft Grey,
Valentino Flats, Essie Nail Polish in Plumberry, Vintage Necklace from Greece

I used to have a huge obsession with floral shirts. Of course, it didn't make it any better that I also was obsessed with anything sequined, tiaras, veils, barrettes, and, most of all, pink. Even with my short pixie cut, I was the exact opposite of a tomboy. Ever since that period of unfortunate fashion choices, I have avoided any shirts with giant flowers on the front. However, this J.Crew tee is much less ornate and glittery than past equivalents. The linen fabric is super soft, effortless, and has gotten me hooked on the linen tees from Madewell and J.Crew. I love wearing this shirt with a skirt and pearls, but a pair of neutral flats, grey jeans, a grey clutch, and a vintage necklace perfectly dress down a potentially fancy shirt.

THE GOLDEN GIRL

White on white is just about the most summery outfit combination. What about blue on blue? It is too! In today's OOTD (Outfit of the Day,) I combined both to get an ultimate summer outfit. Along with the combination of cool blue and neutral white, I added warm gold details with a Tory Burch necklace, J Crew bracelet, and Forever 21 rings. I love that the embroidered Topshop blouse is so feminine, but becomes more sleek and understated with the Rebecca Minkoff bag and the Jeffrey Campbell sandals. To recreate this look yourself, you can wear your hair in a messy bun or straightened and left down. If you want to recreate this look on a tighter budget, a start could be this embroidered top, this pair of shorts in white, and and this bag.

LILAC BOUQUET

Over the last few months, ever since Spring, I have really been falling for pastels. In fact, ever since I got an opaque lilac manicure, I have been loving lilac and lavender shades in particular. In this outfit, I combined bright florals with various shades of pastels to get a carefree summer look. I can see this outfit being paired with a french braid or curls pulled back with a thin headband. If you have any feedback or recommendations for a future post, let me know in the comments below!

PANTHER PEONY

Scalloped shorts return! Pale pink is my favorite color. When paired with zebra and leopard prints, it creates a whole new trend. This trendy and delicate outfit would be perfect for everyday wear when paired with a sleek ponytail or bun.
