Summer Citron

The goods:
• blouse by Theory (good news, it's on sale here!)
• blazer from Zara
• M2F shorts from Sophia
• sandals by Born Crown
 

It's perfect summer days like this that make me grab the brightest color from my closet. I love this nearly neon hue for making a bold statement ... or a more subtle pop of color when peeking out from under a jacket. Oh ... and I'm wearing my cut offs until the fall weather really kicks in.

Summer Ends

The goods:
• top by Theory
• jeans by Citizens of Humanity
• wedges by Nine West
• necklaces by Gorjana, Winifred Grace
• bangles by Stitch, IGWT, Winifred Grace

August means closet crunch time – time to wear all of the lightweight summer attire before fall makes an appearance in the coming months. I'm all about transitioning pieces throughout the year, but this issue-thin tank by Theory is one of those strictly summer tops. Enjoy it while it lasts!

The Long and Short of it

The goods:
• sweater from Banana Republic
• shorts by Theory
• wedges from Nine West
• bangles from IGWT, Stitch Chicago     

I'm trading in yesterday's wool coat for these tailored shorts (only in Chicago, right?), and letting these legs see the light of day! There's a fine line between a tasteful length and inappropriate exposure, but leave it to Theory to find that perfect hemline. Paired with a nude wedge for added height and neutral lightweight sweater, shorts are a breath of fresh spring air after this lingering winter.
