HAPPY HOUR VALLEY

Outfits: Spring, Outfits: Summer

casual yet polished

06/24/22

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a good week.

I’m dubbing this summer the summer of the black tee. I’m not at all tired of it and it looks good with everything — cutoffs, skirts, trousers, athletic shorts. It’s turning out to be the most powerful style chameleon in my closet. As we move into the hottest part of summer, I just appreciate a loose, lightweight tee — nothing clingy or tight, but something breathable and comfortable. Plus it doesn’t show sweat!

Even though there are so many casual elements to this outfit (Birkenstocks, canvas tote, plain tee) the overall impression leans a bit more polished and feminine, thanks to the tailored shorts and pearl hoop earrings.

I often think I’ll try a belt with these trouser shorts to make things more interesting, but I end up liking the look better without a belt — the look is more minimal, which I love, and the feeling is less restrictive and more comfortable.

    I like your outfit. You’re always so pretty. But I’m finding the canvas bag sloppy looking, a detracting element . I hope you don’t mind honest opinions.

      Hi Kathy! To each their own. My canvas bag is special and sentimental to me and I love to wear it. :)
