what to wear

just got the new fab color issue of InStyle today, and i found a few new inspiration images for fun outfits. hope to use some of them to actually style a few new looks this summer. trendy is good, but in restrained doses ... at least for me. i like to mix up classic cuts with pops of color, simple silhouettes with subtle construction architectural details, and volume contrasts - think skinny bottoms with loose, slightly longer tops.

love this preppy look in the new InStyle, so summer fresh and easy going! and i'm obsessed with stripes at the moment. the pop of color in the red shoes adds that last finishing touch and happy fresh note. not a hat person myself, but this newsboy cap is cute!

pairing skinny jeans and heels with a cool, crisp, summery longer blazer could do the trick for the office. come to think of it, this could be my new uniform this summer, especially with that cold a/c blasting all summer long at work. throw in a scarf while indoors, and I'm all set. i love Charlize's effortless vibe and the pulled back hair! and again, a pop of color with the red bag. totally doable!!

and this seems to be so in right now: cobalt blue! not so new for me, as i've been wearing and obsessing over it all last summer! still into it, and i'll definitely wear my few pieces from last summer this year too. love this hue!
