There are very few things that can compare to spending the summer in Newport. Yachts, nautical-themed store fronts, lots of homemade fudge and gelato and stylish summer outfits make up the majority of Newport’s happening downtown scene. I caught up with a stylish Connecticut native spending her summer here in Rhode Island, taking in every second she can living the beach front lifestyle!
This Fashionista sported a casual and effortless summer look as she walked around Salve Regina’s campus, admiring the lavish mansions built during the Gilded Age. Chic, yet simple, she wore an all-white maxi dress from American Eagle Outfitters. She paired it with color-blocked sandals also from American Eagle Outfitters, as well as a large silver and teal cuff bracelet. A white headband held back her curls, and she sported a collection of homemade friendship bracelets going up her left wrist. She didn’t look like she was trying too hard, or overdoing it with her outfit; it was the perfect combination to reflect her laid back personality and effortless beach vibes, and that is why I love it!
One Simple Change:Â Go from beach day to date night: pull the hair up into a loose low bun, add a pair of wedges, dangle some teal earrings and pair it with a denim jacket for a whole new look. Between the reasonable price and the versatility of this dress, it’s a hard maxi to resist! For a nighttime look, these teal earrings by Kendra Scott are a perfect touch. They come in an abundance of colors if you aren’t a teal kind of person.
