School started Monday here in my area of Texas. This seems to signify summer is quickly coming to a close. Labor Day is right around the corner too so it’s inevitable the close of summer is upon us. Although I know our temps will still remain summer-like for a while, I also know we are all itching for fall fashion. Therefore this seems like a perfect time to recap my favorite looks from this summer.
Since pattern mixing is on my list of favorites for a style profile, I’m featuring my two favorites. Both of these would be appropriate in a business casual office environment. Both looks have some great patterns and color and the mixing was easy with what I found in my closet.

Those red pixie pants found lots of looks this summer. When I started to pair them with breezy tees I was completely hooked. People at work might have gotten tired of me in this type of look because I wore it often.

I fell hard for coral this summer. I found this top at The Limited and bought it on a whim. It became one of my favorite pieces. I wore it to work on a regular basis and never grew tired of it. Coral is a color that goes with almost everything and I think it will see some new looks through early fall.

Another favorite from this summer was blue and white stripes. I found I absolutely adored a pair of blue and white shorts I purchased. They became my husband’s favorite pair of shorts on me. I always enjoy hearing what he likes on me.

And then there was blue and white stripes on top too. These looks were on my favorites list too.

And then there were just favorite looks in shorts. Denim boyfriend shorts were a part of my go-to looks more times than I’d like to admit. And because every girl has to have a shorts and boots look {in Texas} I added one of those too. But I also think every girl needs a feminine look too. Yes, feminine and shorts do go together.

Those are the highlights of my favorite summer looks. One thing I’d like to point out is that my summer revolved around very few pairs of sandals. Honestly, the wedges that I featured over and over again were my staple shoes. I wore them practically every day. They really could be dressed up or down and seemed to look good with any outfit. The flat metallic pair were the same and became the second shoe workhorse.
When I purchased the wedges I was a little reluctant to spend $60.00 on them because I didn’t think I would wear them enough. The metallic flats were on sale for $20.00 so I didn’t feel so badly about those if I didn’t wear them as often. Guess what I finally learned? Less might just be better! I’m rethinking my shoe philosophy and working on determining what would be the most versatile to remix with my wardrobe. We’ll see what happens in that department as styles transition into fall.
Hope y’all have a lovely day!
