Fancy Footwork

After an 80 degree yesterday here in New York, I think it's finally safe to say that summer is right around the corner. Even though I love my heeled sandals & wedge espadrilles, there are so many chic flat options available that there's no reason to sacrifice comfort for style.  I've rounded up my top favorite neutral pairs below (all affordably-priced) and matched them up with coordinating Essie polishes...so you can get your feet summer ready!

Relaxed Saturday

Some of the best weekends, in my opinion, are the ones where we have no plans at all.  There is nothing better than being able to sleep in, head down to the farmer's market to shop & end the afternoon at a nearby park for a picnic. This bag has quickly become my new favorite tote for such trips because it's so roomy & the sturdy reclaimed leather straps allow me to stuff it as full as I want.  Plus, I love the cool surplus vintage style...it's one of the few bags I own that my husband doesn't mind holding for me!

What I'm wearing:

TinselTown Denim Couture Jacket (similar here or here), MNG by Mango tank (here), Forever 21 pants (similar), Old Navy sandals (similar here or here), c/o Lily + Violet bag (here), Bracelets: Vintage, H&M (similar), c/o Tailor & Stylist (here), Vintage necklaces, Simply Vera by Vera Wang aviators (similar)

Bright White

White denim is undoubtedly a summer essential...but unfortunately, the perfect pair can be really hard to find.  I've tried on dozens of styles that were too thin & almost see-through (not a good look) and others that didn't have the right balance of structure + stretch to them.  Since I am pear-shaped, for years I stayed away from this shade of denim because I thought it would only further emphasize my larger lower half.  But, it's true what they say - it is all about the fit!  

This cropped pair were a dream come true for me - a flawless fit, comfortable and surprisingly flattering.  Though they are a boyfriend shape, I sized down for more of a "skinny" look and I've been wearing them nonstop ever since.  I decided to share two of my favorite ways to style them - one casual day look and one slightly more polished.  If you've been afraid of white jeans in the past, like I was, I encourage you to give these a try - I promise you won't be disappointed (they also come in short & long lengths)!

What I'm wearing:

Dorothy Perkins blouse (here; use code DPFWE for 20% off), Gap blazer (similar), c/o Old Navy jeans (on sale here), Pour La Victoire heels via Marshall's (on sale here or here), c/o T+J Designs cuff (similar), c/o Send the Trend clutch (here), Nails: Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet

What I'm wearing:
c/o Sheinside blouse (similar), c/o Old Navy scarf (here) & jeans (here), ALDO sandals (similar here or here), c/o JustFab bag (here), Michael Kors watch (similar), Bracelets: c/o Stella & Dot (here) & Forever 21 (similar), Ray-Ban wayfarers (similar)
