Summer Dreams
Gold Hoop Earrings from Forever 21 | Vintage Floral Scarf | DL1961 Instaslim Jeans C/O Shopbop | Vintage Chain Necklace
For this summery 1960s inspired look, I paired a vintage floral scarf in
vibrant shades of orange and yellow with a pair of DL1961 high waisted
blue jeans. I always have a look through the scarves when thrifting, the larger ones can make for lovely sarongs and tops during the warmer months. And the jeans immediately caught my eye, the fit and colour reminding me of a pair I had years ago. Still have, actually, though they've seen better days. For accessories, I opted for gold hoop earrings and an old chain necklace worn as a
bracelet.
Summer has arrived on the island and not a minute too soon.

Velvet and Gold
During
Shopbop’s recent sale, I was having a little browse when I came across a
pair of velvet bell bottoms. On sale for under $20. Could not help
myself. Kind of wish it was Christmastime so I could wear them everyday.
For a 1970s inspired look, I paired them with a blouse tied at the waist and an old suede jacket. Otherwise, I opted for simple black pumps and a gold chain belt I recently found at the church thrift shop nearby. It was $2. Just a little obsessed with it.

Blouse from Suzy Shier | High Waisted Jeans by Levi's C/O Shopbop
This is the kind of outfit I will never get tired of. Effortless, classic, can be dressed up or dressed down. It makes me feel put together without feeling overdressed and that’s just what I need some days. Because even if you’ve not got it all together, sometimes it can help to dress the part and pretend.
I posted a similar look back in November as winter approached – going for a retro inspired look complete with bell bottom jeans, faux fur coat, and cowboy boots. Now, as we’re getting into spring, I’ve tentatively put away the faux fur and boots. Tentatively. Because no matter how much I’d prefer it to be bikini weather from here on out, I’ve a feeling we’ve still got a cold day or two left before spring fully kicks into gear.
For this look, I wore same shirt as in that November post but this time, rather than bell bottoms, I opted for a pair of 721 Levi’s. The wash of the jeans, called Cerulean Valley, is perfect for this time of year. While I love dark wash denim, I think it’s always nice to have a lighter, slightly brighter option during the spring and summer.
