Laid Back

This is one of my go-to summer combinations on days when it isn’t too hot out – a white embroidered top, slouchy lightweight trousers (that feel as comfortable as pajamas), a printed scarf & flat sandals.  It also happens to be great vacation attire if you have a day of traveling or if you’re exploring a new city on foot & doing some window shopping. I’d love to hear in the comments below what types of outfits you’d be interested in seeing more of here on PPF (work/professional, casual day-to-day, date night, etc.) – let me know what you enjoy most & find helpful for the summer months!

What I’m wearing:

Old Navy girls tank (similar here, here or here), Forever 21 pants (similar here, here or here) & scarf (here), ALDO fedora (here) & sandals (similar), c/o Just Fab bag (here), Olivia Burton watch (similar here or here), Rings: Vintage, Forever 21 (similar), ASOS (here); Bracelets: Vintage, H&M (similar), Anne Klein (similar here or here), c/o Stella & Dot (here), Forever 21 (here); Dockers aviators (similar), Nails: Essie Tart Deco

    Love this look! I recently bought a summer fedora for the first time and am loving it! I enjoy all the outfits you put together, I've not seen one that I haven't liked!
    I live in a hot and humid climate but work in a professional building where the A/C is freezing… I'd love to see more work outfits for summer. I have a tough time choosing shoes that are not the usual black pumps. So, I'd also love some tips on how to add more color to my work outfits.

    Thanks!

    Very cute outfit! I agree, I also like to wear light weight pants/trousers in the summer especially when it's not super hot outside. I enjoy all the looks you post but I enjoy casual day to day..

    Xo,
    Sincerely Miss Ash

    Hey, nice to be the first comment on a popular blog such as yours. I entered the sweepstake yesterday and was glad to see you have a new post already today. I would love to see more combos such as these: wtw to a barbecue, summer shopping, a casual-fancy dinner. Or oh! know a good one, in a couple of weeks i have to read the intro at my friend's art inauguration….Many thanks, barbara (facebook The MMFC blog)

    Another great outfit! I actually like when you post your really feminine outfits – whether they be dressy or casual. I don't usually reach for very feminine pieces for myself so I like to see how you style them.

    I love your sandals! That just have the perfect amount of glamour to them! I most love seeing day-to-day outfits – they don't have to be super casual or super glamorous, but that's what I draw most inspiration from! 🙂

    I love your top! I've been looking for something like that so I really appreciate you posting links to similar tops. And I'm jealous that you can wear the girl's department items!

    I love the look of a chic little scarf tied at the neck.. This is inspiring me to break a few out of the back of my closet – thanks! 😉

    Officially coming out of lurkdom to say more professional/office outfits please! I just discovered your blog about a month ago and it has become an absolute must-read for me – thank you for all the inspiration! On an unrelated note, I suspect from some of your photo backgrounds that you live very close to me. For discretion's sake, I will just tell you that I live in the town that hosted Canal Days this past weekend (-:

    This is a lovely put-together look without being over the top! One question… How did you tie your scarf?

    I work in a somewhat conservative office environment in the Midwest, with a "business casual" dress code. I'd love to see outfits for this environment.

    Thanks for your inspiration!

    Hi Janet,

    Thank you for your feedback! This particular scarf was a square shape, so I folded it diagonally and looped it around my neck once, bringing the ends back around & tucking them underneath. Hope that helps! 🙂

    xo,

    I LOVE this outfit! I have been looking for a pretty pink bag for a while now and I think this may be the cutest one I've seen so far.

    I just found your blog and I love it 🙂

    I didn't read the previous comments so maybe someone else already said this…but my biggest problem in the summer is that I get chilly in an office all day, but then I go outside and it's sweltering. I'm always looking for creative layering ideas! (especially light layers) Keep up the good work, Kim!
