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!

  • This is so cute. I love the laid back vibe. I pulled my fedora out the other day. I totally forgot about it! I took my son to the park and realized it was all I had to protect my face from the sun.

  • 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! 🙂

  • Navy and white are such classic colors toghether! I love this outfit for its simplicity!

  • The scarf you are wearing in this post is lovely and the color of your bag is very unique, I don't see enough bright purple purses here in NYC. I would really like to see more of your day to night posts. Also, what happened to your 4-anyway posts? Those were my absolute favorite posts.

  • 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!

  • Sarah,

    Yes, you are right – you live very close to me! Maybe I will run into you one of these days 🙂

  • 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 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!
