This adorable polka dot top has been featured on the blog two times already, once featuring a professional spring look and again last spring paired with a floral skirt. Today I am showing you a casual summer look. I love when a piece of clothing is this versatile and I can wear it over and over again. This is one of the key features that I think about when adding new items to my closet. Not only is it a financially important consideration, but I also really do want to be mindful of how my consumption of new items impacts the environment. A couple of tips to help you think about how and when you should add new pieces:
- Keep a list of items you would like to add to your closet, this avoids impulse purchases that you really don't need.
- Get to know what's in your closet. I don't have huge amounts of clothes in my closet/drawers, which means I am pretty much on top of what I have available to mix and match with any one item.
- Bring it home and make outfits. If I am adding a $$ item to my closet I will often make up 3 -5 outfits before taking off the tags. I like to make sure that I can wear it multiple ways before committing.
Anyway, back to the outfit. This cute little outfit was perfect for our first HOT summer weekend. We were going to do a few errands and it was just so dang cute, yet casual paired with denim shorts and flat sandals. I love everything about this top, from the simple ruffle neckline, to the off the shoulder look (which I still love), and then add the bow shoulder ties. It's just curtness overload, but without being tacky. I added just the tiniest bit of sparkle by wearing my Hillberg and Berk initial necklace. This little necklace is a daily staple and honestly I would recommend it as a gift for someone, or yourself.
These running photos were actually taken because I was literally running from the rain. Although it was a beautiful day, just as we went to take pictures the wind came up and was blowing intensely, that we had a hard time getting any descent pictures. And then it threatened to rain but we already got everything we needed.
Happy weekend and thank you for stopping by.
