There’s something so pretty about
summer metallics but it’s been hard for me to incorporate them into my
wardrobe. They don’t feel very “me,” for some reason, but with the mix of
neutrals it’s a little more approachable. I’ve been slowly and subtly testing
it out with my accessories, like with these beige and gold flats and my
beautiful birthday watch from Matthew. Paired with more dominant colors like
minty teal and coral I feel ready for summer!
dress c/o Lulu*s, jacket and bracelet J.Crew, purse c/o Brahmin, shoes Nine West, sunglasses , watch Michael Kors
This weekend was full of lots of
driving and family time. Matthew and I went down to San Diego on Saturday to
celebrate his mom’s birthday (yay for another June baby!) and it was so nice to
catch up. The drive was longer than usual because of the Del Mar fair and
graduations, but with a cute puppy in the car it was a lot more enjoyable.
Sunday Matthew and I celebrated Father’s Day with my Dad and then went over to
a family friend’s house. It was so fun to see friends we haven’t seen in over a
year. I wish I could have all my favorite people live in the same city. Or at
the very least I wish it was easier, and cheaper, to travel across the country!
Here’s to a new week ahead. Happy
Monday!

Love the outfit! The gold flats are a nice additional to the dress and jacket. I couldn't agree more about being closer to friends and family. I feel that way, being half way around the world from them.

Enjoy your attire! The actual gold houses really are a good further to the costume along with jacket. I couldn't acknowledge more to do with getting closer to relatives and buddies. I am that way, getting nearly all over the world from their store.

ReplyDeleteI just adore your dress! So cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress! You do so well with your color mixing - I don't think I would have thought to pair teal with orange but I love it!! Love those sunglasses too.
ReplyDeleteDo you & Matthew ever hit the Del Mar Fair? It's my faaaaave! I used to go multiple times a year when I lived there. I miss it so much!
I love your look books, definitely a lady after my own heart! I love the coral and mint, or teal/aqua for summer, I think it's so timeless (I bring it out every summer!). I'm new to the blogging community but really enjoy reading your blog! Stop by mine if you like!

This outfit is just so pretty. I love the mix of bold color. The gold on your flats looks awesome with the rest of your outfit. Very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely polished contrast. For some people this is a very brave look to try to pull off but you do it easily. You look relaxed and in your element and it shows.
