Happy June!  Summertime fun is officially underway and so is the styling.  Whether you're casually inspired or heading to a nice event at long last, summer looks are always uplifting to me.  Today's outfit is inspired by those everyday, in between moments whether they're spent running around doing some errands and shopping or meeting some friends for a girls' lunch, this one is perfect for either.

If you've followed me for a bit then you've seen me style several of these pieces before.  And the sign of a great investment is its ability to do just that.  Let's start here with this lovely little top.  This one is from & Other Stories and I love it for so many reasons.  Versatility being one of them.  For this look here I've paired it with some high-waisted and relaxed summer wash denim trousers.  By doing so, you are nicely dressing the look down a bit but still coming away with bit more elevated feel than say jeans and a t-shirt.  

Next, I added in a bit of polished interest with a few gold jewelry bits like this watch you see here.  I really just love the juxtaposition of wearing it with a far more feminine top like his one.  These sailor knot earrings are such a good choice too to wear with a nice low bun and a pair of oversized sunglasses.  

The classic straw bag will be my go-to all season as it works so beautifully with nearly everything from my closet that I am going to wear.  This one is a nice, somewhat affordable option that really just pays for itself over the course of the summer.  

And finally, I've gone with a somewhat unexpected style of shoe with these chunky loafers.  I love how they visually pull the outfit together with their color and add so much interest to the overall look.

This outfit is completely atypical for summer and that is one reason I just love it.  What about you?  What summer casual looks do you find yourself gravitating towards?  I'd love to hear all about it!

Have a lovely day everyone!
