Summer Snaps + Sparkle

This summer has been all about basics with a twist. I’ve been living in tight tanks, loose skirts, bold maxi dresses, and sandals for long walks watching the sunset. I’m lucky to work in an office where I don’t have to have two wardrobes (one with suits + one for fun), but instead I can wear dressed up shorts and casual dresses. I always try to pair shorts with more refined tops like peplums or silk blouses that are a bit dressier. Also, make sure your shorts are a little longer, or of a fancier fabric. If you’d wear it to the beach, you probably shouldn’t wear it to the office.

Here are a few of my latest #ootd (outfit of the day snaps):

Navy peplum + tailored white shorts for a bit of polish on a hot day.

A patterned top dresses up shorts for (a casual) office look.

GAP ultra-soft chevron maxi dress.

Twist on the basic grey tank.

C. Wonder with the cutest initial necklaces, a gift from my summer intern.

Best workout shorts I’ve ever worn from Victoria Secret Pink: the “Campus Short.”

Super feminine + sparkly new purchase from Spike the Punch!

Make sure you follow my instagram @everyday_runway for daily posts! The above are just a few new purchases and favorites pieces from the summer. Jewelry can dress up even a basic white tank, so I choose to layer accessories rather than clothing on these hot, hot days. What have been your favorite day-to-day outfits this summer?
