Summer Classics
Black Tee: Lord and Taylor (similar here)// White Jeans: J.Crew// Sandals: Jack Rogers// Green Straw Tote: Target, sold out (love this one , this one and this one)// Sunglasses: BCBG Max Azria, old (splurge option and save option)// Tortoise Cuff: Kayce Hughes (save option)
The past few weeks, I’ve noticed a subtle dip in the temperature at night. There’s a slight chill in the air…enough so that a light sweater or a pair of jeans is definitely necessary. So, this past weekend, I simply swapped these shorts for these jeans to enjoy a glass of wine out on our deck. Initially, I hesitated at the thought of even thinking about purchasing a pair of white jeans with four children (three of them being boys!) but I must say, I wear these a lot (last seen here, here and here). I’m not advocating wearing them to the park or to a kids’ birthday party but they’re perfect for a date night or a casual (adult) party when I want to feel polished and pulled together. Inspired by this classic look, I kept things simple and timeless with a basic black tee and my go-to Jack Rogers sandals. This roomy green straw tote has been on heavy rotation all summer. It’s ideal for the beach or just running around town and the neon hue adds a fun punch of color!

Your citron tote is the perfect summery pop of color for this black and white look!

It definitely has started to get a bit chillier up in Maine as well..I guess that truly does mean that August is coming to a close and then it is on to autumn. Love this simple look, I live in white jeans and my jack rogers throughout the summer!

This is the perfect summer staple! I need to put my white jeans to good use since they will soon be out of commission! 🙂

You’re so lucky there’s a slight chill in the air up there. Down here it’s still very hot. I like this simple and classic look. The bag totally kicks it up a notch!

Those white jeans are perfect on you. This is such a beautiful classic look. I’ve noticed that dip in temperature as well lately. It’s so odd how cool it’s been this summer.
