Sun Kissed

Now I am a much bigger fan of not only cold weather but dressing for winter however now that the sun has kissed us its time for Summer Inspirations. Now for me this is always changing, I'll go from envying those who can wear patterns on patterns on patterns and not look like a circus clown or a flower garden, to trying to emulate the known bohemian style of the Olsen twins by layering long skirts, lace vests and flowy tops. However, what's really doing it for me right now is the whites and jeans combination. Now, I've always loved white- it is in fact my favorite color and a friend of my mom's used to say "During winter i wear black, during summer i wear white". And, with exceptions of course, this is the basis of what i go by. During winter my closet is packed with navy, gray, black, charcoal, deep purples and so on. When summer comes, I wear a lot of whites, tans, an occasional pop of color, (and yes, navy too). So like i was saying, jeans and white, i think just creates a really crisp fresh looking outfit that always looks good but doesn't require a lot of work. 

2 things:

1) I realize this can get hot during the summer so theres a substitution with shorts below just fyi

2) This is really great because its effortlessly easy. A plain white tee looks crisp and casual with colorful sandals or white/black converse, or you can do a cute summer wedge with a more intricate white top to dress yourself up a little. 

Now, the tricky thing with white tees and jeans is that it can get really boring really fast and if you are interested in fashion you usually are looking to have some unique elements, to add something fun to your outfits. For example above, i love love love this Casio wristwatch above ( and you can find it here for only 54$!) Or do something really fun like these Frida Kahlo Socks below ( here for only 9 dollars!!) These socks under converse, or a white retro sandal with some cutoff shorts and a white tee might be the perfect edge to your outfit. 

Okay so these jeans shorts with lace on the bottom are really in right now and I'm having mixed feelings about them so i think ill do a separate post just on these in a little bit!
