Summer Stripes








Shirt: Anthropolgie, Shorts: American Eagle (Old), Shoes: Tory Burch, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Sunnies: Ray-Ban, Tumbler: Etsy


So it's been a while. And by a while I mean like… 5 months. I just got back from school and I'm home for the summer. I've been thinking about my blog for months and how much I have wanted to start it up again. Not that I ever really stopped. I started this blog over my three-week winter break intending to continue with it when I got back to school and obviously that didn't happen. In January I joined a sorority and between that, school and friends my priorities shifted a little which I wish wasn't the case. But I'm back and ready for a summer on the blog! I also took somewhat of a sabbatical because I wasn't completely pleased with the outfits I was producing on my blog. I have been following style blogs for years and when I started my own I expected mine to measure up to the likes of Gal Meets Glam or Pink Peonies, which of course is incredibly unrealistic right out of the gate. So I've decided to come back down to earth and realize that Rome wasn't built in a day. Just because my blog isn't where I want it to be today doesn't mean it won't ever get there. So I'm using this summer to find my inner blogger if you will. So come along for the journey, won't you?!

My outfit isn't anything too fancy today. This is what I would wear on a typical summer day. This will be my third summer in my go-to denim shorts (might be time to retire these babies) but I still love them! I'm a proud new owner of these ray-ban wayfarers purchased with my first paycheck at my summer job! It's safe to say they are my new pride and joy. To top off my simple ensemble I have my favorite monogram tumbler from Etsy. Not only does it complete my outfit ever so well, it will also keep me hydrated and stylish all summer long. The only thing this outfit is missing is a fabulous sun kissed tan.
