Hello, readers! It’s another beautiful summer day and another excuse to get all dressed up again. I was inspired by Rebecca Minkoff’s spring 2016 ready-to-wear collection. Particularly, I enjoyed her use of soft pastels in earthy tones for a breezy and romantic look this season. Minkoff found inspiration in Turbeville’s photography, adding bohemian accents to the collection.
For the summertime, I highly recommend buying a simple little white dress, or LWD. It’s such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down, depending on your outing. I got mine at a local thrift shop. The material feels like canvas linen, which is nice since the dress maintains its structure even on windy days. I won’t really have to worry about having a Marilyn Monroe moment in this dress.
I don’t think there’s been a single day during this summer vacation where I’ve left my house without my sunglasses. My current favorite pair are these silver John Lennon-style sunglasses. I’ve been digging the vintage ’60s vibe lately.
The key item of this entire outfit has to be the pastel geometric-printed kimono. Truth be told, when I bought it at Aeropostale, I thought it was a scarf at first. Upon further examination, I realized it had arm holes. To this day, I’m not entirely sure of the garment’s exact name. For the sake of the article, we’ll just call it a kimono.
Interestingly enough, I discovered this LOFT belt deep within my closet just a couple days before these photos were taken. The peach and black palette just happened to match perfectly with the colors of the kimono. It really pulled the entire look together.
