Going floral

6/18/13

Zara shirt and vest, Lovers + Friends floral shorts, 3.1 Phillip Lim sandals, Karen Walker sunglasses, Vanessa Mooney necklaces

Going strong in that streak of wearing white on something see-through, plus a little bit of floral pattern. I love me some yellow and a peek of floral combined. Summer is officially here and I'm welcoming it with layered whites, loose articles of clothing, splashes of bright floral (groundbreaking, I know), and steady sunglass wear.

Some mesh

6/12/13

Zara mesh top, Lover + Friends dress, Joe's Jeans jacket, Luv AJ choker, Ray-Ban wayfarers, Proenza Schouler PS11, Rag & Bone boots

I don't think mesh is realized to its full potential until we get to spring/summer time. You can show as little or as much skin as you'd like just by simply adding a dress, a top, or a bandeau underneath--whatever you choose--and still have fun with layers while properly ventilating, haha. I love layering but it's a undesirable feat when dressing for the summer usually means you should be wearing as few layers as possible. Thankfully, neutral mesh tops add some texture, too, and do the job nicely :)

That red, white, and blue

6/10/13

Zara crop top, Gypsy05 dress, Loeffler Randall clog sandals, Linea Pelle tote, Céline sunglasses, Daniel Wellington watch

A little early for July 4th I know, but the colors red, white and blue are too good together to hold off 'til then. I dusted these Loeffler Randall clog sandals and decided to wear them out recently (is anyone else feeling a little deficient in balancing in anything with platforms nowadays?), and thought they would be perfect with a sort of 90s tinge. Not sure exactly what I was going for sans plaid shirt--maybe I'm quite obsessed with the crop top from Zara (also posted here) and layering it over just about anything--but felt that the extra layer around the hips tied it altogether. I suppose this is the way I'll layer for warmer days.
