A Classic & Simple Summer Outfit Combination

When it comes to dressing in the summer, I often choose to beat the heat by relying on classic combinations of lightweight separates that I can throw on with little to no planning. I have found that these airy pieces allow me to stay cool while still looking presentable despite the scorching temps.  

 

An example of one of these combinations is a simple white t and black skirt. 

To jazz up these basics for the look you see here, I relied on a few of my favorite accessories. Feeling inspired by some old french films I had recently watched, I channeled my inner Parisian and tied a small square silk scarf around my neck over a simple gold link necklace. For footwear I turned to my always appropriate ballet flats and carried a cross body purse for hands free access all day. 

I topped it all off with a classic boater hat for a fun pop of color. The final look took me from an afternoon stroll to lunch without a single care or second thought.  

Below, I have linked some pieces similar to the ones I'm wearing along with my first ever YouTube video! I'm so excited to start sharing more outfit videos and styling tips, so be sure to check back soon and subscribe if you want to stay up-to-date on all my uploads.
