Over the last year I've really gotten into basic tops. The combination of not going many places and favoring comfort/practicality has lead me to take a deep dive and try out several basic tops. Everything from tanks to long sleeves and I've found nine that I consider wardrobe staples and wear all. the. time. Seriously - people are probably sick of me talking about them and wearing them but when I find things I love I want to share them. I'm breaking them all down below.
I know I'm not alone with this thought, but towards the end of every winter (and summer, honestly) I start to get anxious for the next season. Our winter hasn't been bad - we haven't had too much rain or really cold weather but I'm definitely ready for spring + summer and everything that comes with warm weather. I'm also starting to shop or look at new arrivals and get excited about dressing for sunny days again. Of course that includes swimwear, so today I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to dress my swimsuits up a little...
This time of year is always a little tricky for me to dress for. It's definitely still summer here (it will be warm until at least November), on one hand I'd love to live in swimwear and cutoffs all year, but part of me wants a little bit of fall. I'm starting to shop and incorporate a few fall-ish items into my wardrobe.
It's crazy unbelievable that it's already the beginning of August. Although we've spent the majority of the last 4 months at home, they've still gone by at lightening speed. I know the rest of the year will follow suit. Today I'm sharing my top 5 sellers from the month of July.
My #1 summer staple is always a good pair of denim shorts. I wear them almost every single day when it's hot, so I need a couple of pairs to get me through the season. Recently I've been searching for a new go-to pair and have gone through a few rounds of online orders so I thought I'd share my research with you.
What’s old is new again, friends! It appears that even though I just did a major closet purge some “vintage” pieces still made the cut.
Denim skirts are the new denim shorts so it’s lucky I held on one… I definitely felt like an 18-year-old wearing it. Speaking of teenagers, these converse shoes have been with me since I was a sophomore in high school. That’s nearly half my life!! These bad boys have been to three different countries and look better than ever. I also pulled out my favorite balenciaga I’ve been carrying since ’04, that thing has only gotten better with age. I topped off the look with a new piece, another Sol Angeles sweatshirt that’s so cozy I’ve been wearing it 24/7.
