How to Wear Blazers for Summer!

It’s starting to heat up a bit! Which means a lot of our winter and fall clothes are put away. But there’s one thing I will be bringing into my summer outfits and that’s blazers! I’ve been seeing more outfits pairing blazers with bralettes and I am loving it! This jacquemus outfit here is one of my favorites and a huge inspiration for this outfit.

It’s a great way to make masculine blazers look more feminine and also more weather appropriate for warm summer nights. This look would also pair great with a pair of strappy heels or sandals but I thought Birkenstocks would be a good simple and comfortable shoe for this look.

ALSO I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY START BLOGGING AGAIN! I haven’t posted a blog since March when everything basically went into lock down. I finally bought a remote for my iphone camera so that I can take more outfit photos at home myself. I can’t wait to share on here again!

What I’m Wearing: Blazer: Vintage, Bralette: Skims, Trousers: The Frankie Shop via Farfetch, Shoes: Birkenstock, Necklace: AUrate

7 Midi Skirts That are Great for End of Summer!

Let’s just take a moment to truly appreciate that midi and maxi skirts are back. I am fully on board this trend! They’re so easy to throw on , another piece that can be styled countless ways and morph so easily to any kind of personal style you want to express. While I do like pairing them with sneakers for extra comfort, there are times when I like to dress them up a bit like I did here. Luckily these shoes are actually pretty comfortable so I was able to wear them without complaining after 20 minutes lol

It might come as a surprise to you when I say that I actually don’t like shopping very much. I prefer online shopping and if I do go out to actually shop, it’s usually at a thrift store. But right before I was heading to San Francisco, I was looking for a couple of pieces for the trip so I decided to browse through Nordstrom. I AM SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE I FOUND THIS SKIRT! Midi skirts are everywhereee right now but I hadn’t seen one like this before. The print is line figure drawings, which is also SO trendy, but I can’t help but love it. Since the colors are pretty neutral as well, the skirt goes so easily with black or white tops too. I wanted to pair it with a black top and accessories to really make the print pop.

The Perfect Summer Dress Styled Two Ways

The weather is warming up so that means it’s finally time to whip out those dresses! The thing I love most about dresses during the summer time is that they can be worn so many different ways. For me, I loveeee being able to wear dresses with sneakers because it’s a great way to stay comfortable and be able to walk around while still looking cute and cool for the summer weather.

This dress from the Alyssa x Petite Studio collection caught my eye the first time I saw it! Every little detail is so well thought out and interesting. The oversized puff sleeves, the buttons and the cut out back, this dress really is the perfect summer dress.

I wanted to share two ways of how I would wear it too. Comfort is so important to me and my personal style so my first reaction is to pair this dress with sneakers. These Adidas Yung-1’s are great too because they’re simple enough to pair with a variety of colors and prints. Converse would also work really well with this dress too.
But if you’re planning a night out or want to go for a more feminine look, the strappy heels are the way to go. I found this particular pair while thrifting in Reno last year for $3!!! I love when vintage styles come back so that you can recreate a trendy look for way less.

Anyways, that’s all I have today! Let me know which look you like better!!

What I wore: Dress: Alyssa x Petite Studio, Sneakers: Adidas Yung-1, Bag: Vintage (shop shoulder bags here), Heels: Vintage (Similar here or shop low strappy heels here)
