Four late-summer outfits I'm packing for vacation & my fall shopping list.
Hello, I’m back to squeeze in a few more summer outfits before the September newsletter. After staying put for the last several months, I have three beach vacations planned over the next six weeks. I don’t know how all of my summer travel got packed into such a finite amount of time, but I’m not complaining. My first trip is to Charleston, SC, later this month, where I’ll be catching up with friends (with kids in tow) over dinners, very cold cocktails, and a beach day or two. Here are four outfits I plan to bring with me.
I might earn a small commission if you purchase through one of the links in this newsletter.
OUTFIT 1
About Arianne Tilda top
Toteme compact knit leggings
Vintage Manolo Blahnik leather sandals via The RealReal: Here’s my pair in pink.
Find Kapoor Patti bag
Where I’d wear it: This is my current hyperfixation summer outfit. I wore this to a few events this summer; it’s the perfect outfit for looking put together when it’s sweltering outside. I’ll wear this to dinner and drinks while on vacation.
OUTFIT 2
Pansy Co gym shorts
Tank Air straight neck top
Maison Margiela Tabi slingbacks: Listen... I bought and returned two different black ballet pumps before realizing I really wanted the black version of my beloved cream Tabi slingbacks.
Vintage Chanel PVC tote: Are you sick of her yet? I found one available on eBay here, in seemingly perfect condition and at a very fair price.
Where I’d wear it: For morning matcha runs, daytime walks around the city, or to hang out at a friend’s place.
OUTFIT 3
Araks Myriam Bikini Top
Tropic of C sana bottom (not pictured)
Tekla drawstring poplin pants: I also plan to wear these on the plane with my Gil Rodriguez Matisse tank in banana cream.
Havaianas flip flops
Vintage Chanel PVC tote
Where I’d wear it: To the beach, with a break for lunch and gelato.
OUTFIT 4
Paloma Wool Pradito skirt (sold out)
Gil Rodriguez Salinas crop top
Vintage Manolo Blahnik leather sandals via TRR
Find Kapoor patti bag (with a rosette necklace via Maj Kiosk tied around the strap)
Where I’d wear it: For drinks sans kids.
In lieu of an August outfits list this month, I’m sharing a fall wishlist of items I’ve been on the hunt for recently. I keep some version of this list on a note on my phone as I think of items that would complement pieces in my closet as we transition to cooler temps. Then search, edit, and repeat.
Martine Rose Striped Wrap Shirt—Also in this perfect shade of blue. I’d wear these wrap shirts with my Toteme capri leggings and heel sandals in the fall.
Rejina Pyo Perry Blazer—A splurge that I can’t justify (…or can I?), but, look at it! I also love this similar top by Gemsun, but I wish it were a bit longer. Again, it would look amazing paired with Toteme capris and my vintage Prada flower sandals.
Burgundy or brown leather trench—I don’t have any strong contenders yet, but I know Maj Kiosk would be the one to find me my perfect burgundy/dark brown leather trench, so I’ll wait patiently for her fall drops.
Vintage pleated skirt—I check resale sites occasionally for my perfect pleated knee-length skirt… I know it’s out there, and it’s probably Prada (this is the reference point). I’ve bookmarked a few recently, including a light tan skirt with a grosgrain bow, this light grey circle pleated skirt, and an olive green version.
Emily Dawn Long smize barrette—The perfect shade of tomato red and an ideal addition to a simple outfit of FEEL jeans, white t-shirt, and a leather trench.
Red leather bag—Again, no strong contenders, but I’d like whatever I get to give this.
Anything from Gohar—Finally, an honorable mention for some home decor I can’t stop thinking about. Specifically, a set of strawberry tea lights (!), an adorably impractical fish lemon squeezer, this bean candle holder, and the perfect farmers market tote.
Thank you for being here, and I’ll see you soon with September Outfits (hopefully featuring one or two of the items listed above). 💌
