when it comes to casual chic there’s nothing i like better than a graphic tee peeking from beneath a blazer. add a color scheme of green and yellow that screams summer fling, and it’s just plain fun. a jean skirt is just the ticket for warmer temps, and is a nice break from skinnies or flares. who can resist a striped belt that gives the outfit extra zing? and the striped canvas tote brings a touch of polish to this laid-back look. i love how the metallic handles tie in with the gold metallic from my shoes. a few bangles, a fun pair of earrings, and this ootd is ready for summer.

Just recently found your blog and absolutely love your style. At soon to be 53 I struggle finding something stylish that flatters isn’t matronly and something I can pair with other items in my wardrobe. And I adore your hair cut so flattering.
