Hooray! It is officially summer! We’ve kicked off summer with a bang, and between vacations, swim meets, summer camps, tennis lessons, long afternoons at the pool, and spending every possible moment outside, we’ve had little time to blog. But don’t worry, we’re back and ready to inspire, and we even have a few new things planned for the upcoming months! *Here would be a good place to note: if you have any outfits or pieces you’re struggling with, send them to us and we will do a blog post to help!*
So. We know it’s in the high-80’s this week, official start to summer, etc. etc. BUT, if you’ve been spending your summer dinners in restaurants instead of in your own kitchen, you’ve noticed – those air conditioned restaurants can get COLD! One thing we keep reaching for this summer is our DENIM JACKET. The denim jacket is a debate we have at every client’s house during a closet clean-up. Most people already have them – they may be decades old – but do you get rid of it? Well, we’ve had ours for 10+ years, but thanks to the slim fit and classic color, it remains a staple in our wardrobe. If yours is too big and boxy, it’s probably time to update it. Thankfully there are many options out there this season! We love the options from Madewell. We visited the denim jacket last summer, and here are even more ways to wear it!
The Basics: If you’re living in shorts this summer, you know a denim jacket will look fabulous with any color or pattern. If you’re considering print mixing, here would be a great time to try it! We love floral prints and stripes.
Casual: A maxi dress will take you from the pool to happy hour, and a denim jacket completes the look and adds interest (and warmth). Don’t forget to accessorize!
Dressy: White feels so fresh for summer! Pair your white jeans with a lacy white top and nude accessories, and your denim jacket will finish off the look for those cool evenings.
