Aspiring Kennedy: Summer Style


I won't claim to be fashionable...
I just shop with two main goals:

1. To find what fits my body
2. To find it on clearance

Even though those two driving forces
are what guide me to building my wardrobe,
I do pay a lot of attention to what others are wearing...
and I do think I have a good sense for what works
and what is (and should be) a fleeting trend.

{Editor's Note: Though to be honest, I do love some trendiness.}

Maybe that is what building a great look really adds up to:

    2  parts of timelessness    +  1 part of trendy accent   = Well curated outfit.

Who really knows....

Either way, this is what I'm feeling for this summer....
which looks perfect for the amazing weather we are having here this week.

Non-stop sun?

I feel like I'm dreaming.

It's never felt so good to sweat.

What pieces- timeless or trendy- have you added 
to your summer look?

  1. You always look amazing - great sense of style - then again, you'd make a black plastic bag look good.
    I love the European colours for the season there at the moment...they're bright and fun - the shops here are full of black, brown, dark purple & mustards - not my favourite.

  2. When my mother-in-law died, breast cancer age 57, I ended up with many of her things.

    A decades old LLBean leather tote included. You've reminded me to take it from the closet & use it !!

    I love seeing the scuff marks she put on it by LIVING.

  3. I love the Gap leather tote, and what made me love it even more is that it's from Gap!! I totally thought it was going to be way more expensive than $90.00. I love shopping at Loft here in the states (I don't know, do you have Ann Taylor in London??!), because their full price items are upwards of $70, but you can find some great buys on the clearance rack. I found two shirts for $4, that both sold for $50 before they hit the sale rack!! That always makes me (and my husband) so happy!!!

  5. I want all of the above, please. Especially now that my sister has this obsession with getting me hipster glasses... LOVE those! I just added a couple maxi-skirts to my summer wardrobe... like a year after they were trendy, ha, so is that trendy or timeless? ;)

  6. My favourite summer pieces are flowery dresses, basically everything yellow (slightly obsessed), head shawls, big hats and stripes :-)

    Love,

  7. The only things I have added this summer are a new swim suit from Boden, which is so cute you don't notice the imperfect figure wearing it. I also got a white tunic to wear over it and a cute straw fedora.
    And I may or may not have gotten a pair of yoga capri's from Victoria Secret that I have worn almost every day...not timeless or trendy, just pure lazy. Shhh...don't tell!

  14. Hi!
    I'm new to the blogging world, and would love to hear your thoughts on my latest post. I just got back from Paris, and I'm in denial that I can't stroll beautiful streets and eat macarons anymore. I'm sure you are exceptionally busy (as I am), but I'd certainly appreciate your feedback.
