Buttoned Up

In the beginning of summer, I can’t get enough of flowy pieces. They’re such a liberating departure from all of the structured, winter layers and epitomize the laid back style of warm weather. But now that we’re halfway through August, I’ve been drifting towards more tailored pieces in crisp fabrics. I picked up this striped oxford last week and love how it makes even the most casual outfits feel more streamlined.

    You look stunning, Emily! I really like this outfit…it’s still Summery but not too laid-back looking. And that pop of red on your lips is the perfect touch to this look. Well done :)

    Love it! And it’s great that you were able to repurpose your husband’s pants. Good thing you guys wear the same size. But if I were him I’d just let you wear the skinny jeans and skirts. :-)

    I love how simple and classic this outfit is. The red lip gives it a little kick, along with the booties.
