Lookbook: Summer Layering

 No need to wait for the cold weather for layering, right??  However, I highly recommend NOT wearing white jeans in 90 degree heat. I regretted it as soon as I walked out the door.  By the way, I promise I smile....a lot. Its just these outfit posts still feel a little awkward...so I'll work on it!

Blouse Top: H&M, Crop Top: Thrifted, Jeans: Polo Shoes: Dress Up Boutique, Necklaces: F21, Bracelets: Gifted from sister, Watch: Fossil, Clutch: Made by me (DIY coming soon:))

 I got to meet up last night with some good friends from college that I hadn't seen in a few years - it was so nice to catch up over some AWESOME guac and mexican food. Girls nights are so much fun:) 

And P.S. I usually only dress up for church and date nights......lets just get that out on the table. Every day attire for me? Comfy Tees and Flip flops! 

Whats your go to wears for day to day??
Happy weekend friends:)

YES!!!!! WHITE ON WHITE ON CREAM! PERFECTION.

But in this summer? Um, no. You look AMAZING, though. The layering, the white on white palette and accessories. Wow.

PS, I do not wear flip flops and Ts to go out every day. What I wear on the blog is generally what I wear everyday since I'm in the office. By principal, I HATE flipflops. I think they're nasty. (But I wear them to run errands to the grocery store or walk the dog--can't do that in heels.) If I'm hanging on the weekends, I'll be wearing leggings or a skirt and cute sandals, flats or heels. I'm high maintenance that way! (^_^)

Lori said...

i LOVE what you're wearing :) pretty, pretty!

Ashley said...

What a great outfit! Although it's good to hear you are a tee and flipflop girl like myself! :)

Desiree said...

:) You are too cute. Thank you for being honest and stating that you only dress up for special occasions - I look at bloggers who post pics on what they wear and I often feel inadequate because I rarely dress up. Its not that I don't want to - its that I have children and get so dirty that I save my nice clothes for special days. :)

Amy said...

Love it Anna! That blouse is fabulous!

Pink Lemonade said...

Angela said...

Lauren said...

a) You're gorgeous! Smile it up!

b) Love that clutch - can't wait for the tutorial.

c) I am lucky enough to work in a casual office, so my favorite summer outfit is skinny jeans, my greek island (RE: flat, strappy, leather) sandals, and a soft tee I dress up with accessories.

d) I secretly can't wait for fall!

Gaby [The Vault Files] said...

Emily of The Best of this Life said...

What a fabulous outfit! Great layering & accessories :)
I'm in summer dresses & flip flops every single day -
I put on jeans yesterday and thought I was going to die. I just love the airiness of a dress....don't know what I'll do when that Canadian Winter comes! Have a great weekend.
