safari chic

come summer, i always welcome safari style into my rotation. it’s chic, it’s cool, and it’s classic. ralph lauren always has a spin on this type of look, and i turn to this brand for inspiration.  today’s ootd is anchored in a khaki four-pocket shirt dress which is universally flattering for all body types. for me, dresses are a great way to beat the heat in style. if you’re wondering how could i possibly wear long sleeves this time of year you only have to walk into an air-conditioned building for an answer. most thermostats are set to sub-zero! brrrrrr. but just as many of you ask for alternatives to sleeveless dresses so here you go! today, it’s the accessories that add the pizazz. so i couldn’t resist donning a hat in keeping with my safari look. a wide navy belt, cute striped tote that will be perfect for the fourth, and a pair of comfy sandals bring this baby home. if you’ve been paying attention to my sunglass repertoire, you’ll notice i’m sporting a new pair thanks to my endless eyewear subscription with Ditto. if you’re interested in a fun and easy way to update your accessories check them out here. use code styleatacertainage for your first month on the house. shipping’s free both ways, and there’s a stylist on deck to guide you through the process.
