This outfit has all the things I like: white, linen, wrinkles, pockets, loose-fit, and of course a bit of ‘dad’-wear. I call it lazy-chic.

outfit: summertime office
Summertime in the office can be tricky. We need to balance staying cool on our commute while maintaining modesty and professionalism in the office. For those extra hot days, I gravitate towards linens and cottons in cuts that don’t cling to the body. Here I’m wearing Everlane’s texture tank with a loose fit linen pencil skirt from Target.

outfit: better with age
Here I’m wearing one of my favorite shirts, a crop top from H&M circa 2007. It’s got black square metal studs all over that has beautifully aged and chipped in all sorts of random places revealing speckles of silver underneath.

To keep it grown up I paired it with this modest classic cotton sweater from Everlane.

outfit: high rise high waters
I’ve been admiring high waisted white linen culottes lately; they have such a breezy, modern feel to them. I especially love the ones designed by the high-end basics label Apiece Apart. But I’m not quite ready to experiment with culottes yet (not sure if I’m really tall enough to pull them off) so will resort to the next best thing- foldin’ up my chinos!
