Opening Ceremony
Yup, I'm a little preppy today for my microeconomics and managerial accounting classes. Deal with it. Remember that super cute denim shirt dress from Haute Miss? Can't believe the original post was in June...JUNE! Well now that it's finally cooling down, it's time to add some layer-age. The denim dress is the perfect base underneath a lighter weight sweater since it's sleeveless (no awko-taco sleeve bunching.) To pull my Harvard Biz School wannabe look together (yes, that's me) I threw on my white classic low top converse and favorite pair of oversized sunnies. Will be posting a "deep-fall" version of this look next week...knee highs, ankle booties and LJ included. Happy Tuesday!

Remember when I dedicated an entire post to some of my favorite black structured bags ("completely reasonable??") Well when a photo of perfectly structured satchel purses, albeit pastel hues, showed up on my instagram news feed via @openingceremony I had to check em out on the inter web. So while hunting the OC website for the same pastel ones...I spotted the perforated leather version.Yup, this bag went from "want" to "CLOSET NOW" status before I even clicked on the thumbnail. Oh lord Jesus it's a fire! Small enough to avoid the awkward briefcase-hybrid look but large enough to fit an iPad mini an Fujifilm Instax this bag is the only bag needed for Summer...Fall, Winter and next next Summer. Even the detachable cross body-style shoulder strap, which I have an unexplained hatred for, gets a thumbs up from me. The OC Ace Small Satchel. You're welcome.
The white tank top is a wardrobe staple and gets extra playtime when the summer rolls around. Instead of pairing it with your usual cutoffs, skirt, jeans, whatever...here are three ideas for mixing it up.
1. White Tank + Linen Shorties + Sneakers
The muscle tank gets the sporty spice attention it deserves when paired with these linen Rag & Bone shorts (leather version of these babies here.) Worn with gym barbie nike's this one is perfect for a post soulcycle lunch date or an Observatory hike.
2. White Tank + Denim Pencil Skirt + Leather Boots
Did you think I was going to write about a white tank top without denim?? A tank with a slight crop fit looks rad paired with a high waisted light wash denim pencil skirt. A pair of classic engineer boots keep the girly-ness in check.
3. White Tank + White Pants + Strappy Heels
The summer equivalent of my go-to black on black would obviously be white on white. Looks so fresh and so clean. Bonus: makes even the slightest hint of a tan pop like you just got back from a week long Mediterranean escapade (yes, please.) This look even works for a night out when you add a generous amount of dry shampoo and eyeliner.
All of these look killer paired with a denim jacket, huge cat eye sunnies, a bottle of coconut water and tons of bronzer. (Kidding about the bronzer. Don't do that.)
Dungarees, "DOPE" snapbacks, spiked everything and an overdose of hair chalk. Yup sounds about right as far as this year's "festival fashion" goes. Of course there will be the crop tops, cut offs, flower crowns (read my thoughts on those things here) and fringe on everything from boots to bras as per usual. So how does a cool girl stand out in a mob of tanned chicks in tribal prints?? Don't worry...I GOT YOU.
What? No crochet, tie dye or hair accessories? Blasphemy! Hey, I said I'd help you stand out not blend in with the plebs. I call this "coacHELLA cool girl." Not really one for neon but I'm totally diggin this little bralette and cool melon sunnies...that and I don't think the desert is the place for my inner goth chick. Take a spin on the festival staple cutoffs with these rad olive green Rag & Bone shorties , double cool points for going up a few sizes and wearing them super low with a shoe lace as a belt. A pair of classic high tops will let you run from stage to stage without breaking a sweat. Top it off with a white cropped tank and you have a festival look that is equal parts desert-street (yeah I made that up) and cool. "Um excuse me...I AM the band."
