In the summer, rather than catching up with trends, sticking to basic silhouettes and familiar ensembles helps to minimize time and effort when getting ready, because let’s be real here – who really wants to spend extra time stressing about what to wear on a steaming hot morning? π
A go-to ensemble that I reach for time and time again during the warmer months is a classic tee paired with an a-line skirt for a cute yet casual look. There’s just something about this particular silhouette that looks especially youthful, don’t you think? π
Typically, I pair this look with sneakers for a sporty, athleisure look, but on some days where I want to appear more put-together, I opt for a pair of pointed-toe lace-up flats for a more elevated look.
I really like this blush pair of flats because not only is the color feminine and delicate, there are small cut-outs that help to elevate the shoes for a more sophisticated look. Another big plus – the pointed toe silhouette also helps to visually elongate the legs, and the lace-up details also add just the right touch of demure sensual femininity to the overall outfit, don’t you agree?
I also elevate the whole ensemble with other accessories, like this super cute bucket bag. I’ve been loving bucket bags recently because they’re casual yet chic, and I especially love this white faux leather one since the small cut-outs are subtle yet add feminine details to the outfit collectively.
Despite all of the trends that come and go every season, I tend to fill my closet with timeless basics (such as blouses and skirts) and elevated staples (like shoes and bags) for pieces that I can wear time and time again, pieces that I’ll continue to love in a year, two years, or even longer.
