the basics

Simpler is better, especially when it comes to summer dressing. I dread hot weather because I'm not the biggest fan of tank tops, shorts...not being able to wear black (the list goes on.) Although I use this rule everyday, "keep it simple" is the only way I can handle summer. Since I'm not the biggest fan of the standard summer uniform, I paired this lightweight cotton blouse with thin denim baggies for a cool and chic look. I know it almost errs on the side of boring, but it's a total win when you can look chic (and feel comfortable) all day and well into a hot summer evening. What's your summer go-to ootd??
