True Blue
Blue Top: Lacoste// White Jeans: J.Crew// Panama Hat: Old Navy, sold out (similar here)// Sandals: Jack Rogers// Straw Bag: Target, old (similar here)// Sunglasses: Michael Kors
Although I love seasonal trends (currently enamored with citrus prints), I also appreciate the classic items in my closet that I can rely upon year after year. This Lacoste shirt is definitely at the top of that list. It’s versatile, timeless and incredibly comfortable. Whenever in doubt, all I need to do is pair this top with a crisp pair of white jeans and my favorite Jack Rogers sandals and I’m ready to go. This past weekend, upon returning from Fire Island, we were all a bit sunburned and tuckered out. So, after a laid back barbecue, we headed down to the beach to catch the sunset. I grabbed my new panama hat on the way out the door and was so glad I did….it turned out there was a slight breeze down by the water. With the temperatures taking a slight dip, these toothpick jeans were the perfect solution. As we drove over the bridge on our way home, the sky was a breathtaking combination of pink and orange. We could see the Manhattan skyline off in the distance and I thought to myself, I truly am lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

Totally feel your love for a classic Lacoste piece. I have a cotton Lacoste dress that I live by. I think I’ll probably have it for the rest of my life- talk about a classic! Beautiful boardwalk pics! Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Classic pieces are definitely a go-to for me in the summer months…the older I get the less likely I am go pass on the trends and go with the tried and true! Love the panama hat on you!
