Good day everyone!
I am hoping you all had a fabulous weekend! This was the first weekend I felt settled in to my new apartment without any plans … the R&R was lovely! Over the weekend Paolo and I ran a few errands {Groceries, Ikea returns, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, Movies … etc} when I was inspired for this post. I have always been conflicted in the hot summer months deciding what to wear for a noon outing. This is mainly due to the hot summer heat and cranked A/C in stores, so I wanted to share with you my solution : tie a plaid button down around your waist.
I normally start with the basics, a white tank and denim jeans, and rely upon a plaid button down and necklace to add some pizzazz. I finish off my look with a cute cap {depending on if I had time for my hair} and comfortable flats {that will keep my toes warm}. I love having a quick cover up with me {especially in the theatre} in case I get chilly.
What is your summer go to look for running errands?

Cover ups are a must in the summer! Sometimes I think my cardigans get more use in the summer! I love this casual look. It’s so cute!
Thank you Laura, I appreciate you stopping by!
Great casual look! I love the flannel around the waist/grunge style that’s so popular now. It’s cute and practical when you need to throw on that extra layer.
