As I mentioned in a previous post, lately I’ve been preferring lighter neutral colors instead of black. White, nude, and tan can easily be mixed and matched together for an effortless look. One of my fallback outfits is always a dressed-up boyfriend jeans look. I love contrasting torn-up denim with delicate fabrics and fun accessories. This lightweight trench coat from Akira is the perfect layering piece for summer. It’s great over dresses too. I like it so much that I’m thinking about picking it up in a second color.
Another one of my favorite neutral items are these Dansko sandals. The footbed is extremely comfortable and supportive, and the straps are adjustable to get the perfect fit. I hate wearing high heels so these are a great option. They’re casual enough to wear with jeans, but could also be worn with a sun dress on a warm night.
I’m wearing the Matty sandal. It also comes in black and red.
It was so windy the day we did this shoot, there wasn’t a single photo where my hair looked normal. Also, lip gloss and the Windy City just don’t go together. I wonder if Sephora stores in Chicago sell more lipstick than lip gloss?
This fun layered necklace is from Happy Poppy Jewelry.
