I've always been more of a "dress for comfort" type of girl, so I'm loving the current prominence of slouchy tomboy pieces this season. I tend to use the work of higher end designers as inspiration and mostly shop sales and knock off stores to get the look I like for a more comfortable price. I also don't usually binge buy, I just purchase a few pieces here and there that I hope will remain classic wardrobe staples for more than a few years. I chose the items above as my shopping inspiration for this season because they could be paired with almost anything I currently own and are fresh and interesting without being too trendy. I'm quite sure I could never afford the Arts&science sandals, but I love the closed toe and ankle strap. I feel like I could chase down a three year old in those things without worrying about unsteady footing.
What trends are you excited about for spring and summer this year? What is your shopping philosophy?

Ooh! I love that slouchy blouse! I wonder if it's sewable?! (I'm currently building my ambitious summer sewing list)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it couldn't be that difficult to copy! Anything that doesn't stick to the body in NC humidity is a summer necessity in my book. I'd love to see the results if you try it!
