When it comes to weekend style I want to stay comfortable as much as possible yet still stylish. I have also been trying to find ways to pair outfits with this hat. I am like a porcelain doll these days, hiding from the sun at all times. This hat from J.Crew is one of my favorite recent purchases. It is a wide enough brim that covers my face, and the white ribbon gives it a stylish detail. My mom thinks I look amish when I wear it, I beg a differ…

Men’s Summer Style
A few weeks ago I was helping a male client style outfits for the summer. As we were discussing different attire I realized I am not as knowledgable about menswear as I would like to be. Sure I know what I think looks good and I am always a sucker for a man in a Barbour jacket, but when it comes down to the different fabrics, lingo, and fit, I am a deer in headlights. I am now “studying” mens fashion and keeping up with the trends as I do with woman’s clothing.
Since I am diving into the world of menswear, I decided to ask a few of my guy friends what they were currently eyeing at the moment. They all said a watch. To my surprise, most of them did not want what is currently trendy but rather something classic. So I decided to make a little style guide for summer full of classic pieces.
Summertime Shorts
Summer is all about being comfortable, throwing on a dress or a pair of shorts, and showing off your bronzed, toned, legs. When it comes to summer attire I go through stages where I love to wear shorts and then times where I am not that into shorts. This summer seems to be the latter. I have lost a little bit of weight, so none of my shorts fit me and I need to replenish my entire shorts collection. To me, shorts are just for daytime wear. I have never been a fan of jean shorts as I think they are too casual of a look, even for the day. I prefer to throw on chino shorts and an oxford or a tank and run around town for the day. I recently bought these shorts and love wearing them for a relax day.Since I am a day wearing shorts kind of gal, I want to find a few pairs to wear for the evenings as well. Right now I am searching for silk, high-waisted white shorts. A clean, classic look to be paired with a tank and wedges or heels.
4th Of July Outfit Ideas
Saying I enjoy the 4th of July is an understatement, I LOVE the 4th! The entire day is full of tradition and celebration starting with watching the parade, hopping from picnic to picnic, then ending the day watching fireworks in the park with the entire community. Always so much fun! Do you have any fun plans? We are having a big family reunion and I will also attend some picnics with friends.Although it is a few weeks away, I am already starting to plan my outfit. Since I am running around all day I want to look cute yet still comfortable. I always opt for a summer dress like this one or a cute romper to roam around in. This year I am thinking of wearing striped shorts and a white blouse, but haven’t fully made up my mind yet. Lets be honest, I will end up with a dress because I am obsessed with dresses and will use any excuse to buy a new one 🙂
