There always seems to be a piece each year that I immediately know is going to be a staple of mine and this year, it’s this cream H&M mini. The perfect amount of pleats, high waist and under $50 price tag makes it an item every one should have in their closet. The fabric is also the perfect weight making it easy to wear now and ideal for when its chillier too. So today it’s all about how to style it now for the last few weeks of summer and how to ease into fall and winter with it as well! I’m also sharing a fun try-on session with Caitlin and Stephanie on my stories so make sure to head over there to see how we all style it today too!
WEAR NOW – SUMMER WHITES
H&M Skirt, Everlane Tee, Zara Sunglasses (similar here and here), Sandals, Gucci Bag
I’m all about an all white outfit for summer and I knew that some of my favorite pieces would work perfect with this skirt. Don’t be afraid to mix shades of whites, creams and tans for a very Diane Keaton vibe! This Everlane tee is also a staple I wore in both looks because of how soft it is, but also because it’s a perfect weight to wear even on a hot summer day. I also believe in wearing white all year so break out this look even after Labor Day!
WEAR LATER – LEATHER AND VELVET FOR FALL
H&M Skirt, Everlane Tee, Mango Leather Jacket, Chanel Flats, Zara Headband (similar)
Allie called this my “Badass Blair Waldorf” look when we were shooting and I’ll take it! Headbands are back as we know and I love adding a chic velvet or embellished headband to a simple look to add texture to a simple look. You can never go wrong with classics like a leather jacket and ballet flats, but have fun with more trendy items, like the headband, when wanting to try something out of your comfort zone!
