Updated White Tee

Top (runs large) // Jeans // Shoes // Purse // Sunglasses

You might remember seeing this white top from last weeks post. Well, I couldn't say no. There's something about great modern basics. If you can't tell, my style gravitates towards casual pieces that can be dressed up. The ribbed texture (you can't see in these pictures) makes this top easily capable to be dressed up. However, I wasn't going anywhere fancy, so it went on a matcha/waffle date with Jessica. It even survived without any spills. That's a win for me! In the meantime, I should take advantage of wearing this more. The weather here is warming up and can see those 80 degree days approaching fast. 

Each week, I find it fun to flashback to see how my style has or hasn't evolved. In comparison to last year, it looks as if my style hasn't changed-bell-sleeves last year and this year.

Denim Midi Skirt

There's some days that I don't think I need another denim piece in my closet (remember this post?). Then, there's days like this one--hello, midi skirt! While the longer length might seem more conservative, I have to say I felt more va-va-voom with it hugging all my curves. To my surprise, the boyfriend was a fan, too. If you're anything like me (loves high waisted pieces but not the discomfort from sitting), you'll appreciate all the stretch in this midi. OH YESS! And let me just say I felt mighty fancy shopping at Costco and Trader Joe's that day. Oh, and do yourself a favor and pick up these cute can wines. Tried and tested by yours truly:) 

Okay, so let's flashback to last year's look here. It's another fun denim outfit. Well, somethings don't change lol! I picked up those wide leg jeans on a sale whim from Madewell, which you might want to check out the sale section because it's SO good!  

Thank you for all of you who keep coming back each week to linkup with Jessica and I! Truly means so much and we love to see your posts!

Only the Essentials + Linkup

Jacket (i live in it!) // linen tee c/c Garnet Hill // Jeans // Espadrilles // Hat (similar and have it!)

Happy Friday! I definitely had to fight my way through the week to get here (hello stomach bug or migraine. maybe both?), but I made it! Better yet I officially am not going to work till next Thursday. I'll be spending a lot in Santa Barbara and wine country in two separate trips. One is totally last minute, which truly get's me so excited. Either way, you can see it on my Insta Stories. 

But no matter where I go, work or wine tasting, I'm all about being comfortable and that tends to be in easy basics. Lucky for me, this weekend casual look, is office appropriate. One thing I feel like I have a hard time finding are tees. They're so simple, but finding one's you wear on repeat is not an easy task. It's rare for me to want a fitted piece and that's no different with tees. When this linen tee arrived, it was everything I look for. It's a little oversized, but not too much. It has a nice weight, so that it hangs just right. Even though it's linen blend, it doesn't wrinkle which is a huge plus. 

But now let's flashback to last year's look (or close to it)! Blush and grey is another great mix of neutrals. To me it will always feel like the best Spring neutral color combination. 

Thank you to everyone who linked up! We hope you will continue to linkup this week! Our picks are Tif from Bright on a Budget and Chichi from The Style Tune!

White For Fall + Linkup

     top c/o stylewe // jeans // purse (old, similar) // lace-up flats (old, similar) // aviators

I think the world is in agreement that they can't believe it's September already. BUT having the long weekend to start it off really eases some of that edge off. And besides making a list ridiculously long of all the things I want to do because I'm dog-sitting my nephew (aka Dusky) who happens to live within 5 minutes of the beach, I'm wearing all the white just to show that weird fashion rule it doesn't make sense. Because let's be real this white top is just to pretty to be sitting in my closet till next Spring. There's so many details to it-pearls all along the trim, black stitching, cute fabric covered buttons at the shoulder. This was my first time shopping with StyleWe and just like the top doesn't miss the details so do they. The curation of unique designers basically gives you the confidence that no one else will show up wearing the same thing. 

Now let's flashback to last year's look here.  And yes you will recognize Jessica's famous wall (that's what I call it). There's so many favorites put together in this casual look.

Thank you again for linking up with us! We love looking through all your posts. Our picks are Ruth from My Little Nest and Kim from Champagneista! How cute are these dresses?!

CgC Daily Contributor

You might be surprised to see me in something a little more office appropriate, but that's because I'm now a regular contributor for CgC Daily, an online publication that offers everything from fashion to business for the working gal. This look is my first for CgC Daily about the modern white shirt. While I don't have to dress for your typical office, I love challenging my style skills and coming up with looks to make it easier for you 9 to 5 ladies. You can see my white shirt article here. If you have any office style questions you'd like me to cover, let me know!                                                  Thanks so much for stopping by! xoHere are some great lace pencil skirts:

White Shirt

Finding the right white shirt is so so worth it! For this girl that has a relaxed look, the thought of a white shirt can sound stuffy and very corporate. Actually, it takes me back to elementary-Catholic school uniform. But finding a cut that works for your style is where it's at. I spotted this white shirt at Zara and couldn't stop thinking about it. Came back the next day and found myself the proud owner of a white shirt. The over-sized fit and short sleeves make it effortless. It also felt right to pop on some red lipstick!

Hope you're having a great week! xo
