10 things: Problem solvers, DIYs, styling the same clothes in the city vs on vacation

and more summer outfit help

I lied and it’s really 11 things but 10 sounded catchier. This is a long one because it’s been a while.

1. Save yourself $600 (see here) and wear a t shirt over a long sleeve (saw Lily Aldridge wearing this which inspired me to diy it).

t shirt, long sleeve is old zara, shorts, flats ( this is my fourth season in them)

2. Which leads me to my next problem solver…boxer shorts and flats. A match made in heaven. It’s a juxtaposition that works and complements eachother. Boxer shorts - super casual and chill. Flats - refined, polished, put together, but still casual because they are flat. It’s not an obvious match which makes it interesting (key for good styling!), but not on completely different playing fields like pairing boxer shorts with let’s say a heel or something. They meet eachother in the middle….styled together they are imperfectly perfect! Anything goes on top

3. A red button up - low key a big summer wardrobe hero. I got a vintage one last year for $20 that I always wear. With jeans, bike shorts, capris, a summer linen pant, a bathing suit…I always feel good in it and instantly styled without having to add anything else.

   This massimo one looks great!
