A. Legit. Outfit post!? For the first time all Summer? Well, scratch that, Summer is over. Hopefully you'll permit me to still post Summer outfits until it feels like Fall, deal? By the way I got to shoot with my bff Steph when I was home in July so more Summer outfits to come!!
Well, it's been quite a Summer. (Catch up on what I've been up to here.) For many, it's been a "Hot Girl Summer", I personally have identified more with an "Espadrille Summer." Back in the Spring, I included espadrilles on my "One Spring Purchase" idea list, and I have since purchased two pairs that have both been in heavy rotation. Something about them feels so classic but still effortless, put-together but still warm weather dreamy.
If you're thinking "two pairs! No-buy year?" - a no-buy year update is definitely in order, but in short, YES I am still doing it, yes I did some shopping while I was traveling this Summer and subsequently I think I'm really done for the year, and both pairs fit in the "souvenir clause."
I found this fancy tasseled pair at The Old Biscuit Mill market in Cape Town, back on our trip to South Africa in March. We did not get to spend nearly enough time at this market, that had maybe the most incredible international food court I'd ever seen, along with dozens of stalls for local makers. I was of course frantically in search of a souvenir or two and I think I did pretty well. So if you go, budget an entire half day or more to explore!
Looking back at this brand, Espadril, to write this post - looks like they are a Spanish brand that sells espadrilles that are handmade in South Africa. You can customize a pair and order online! Pretty cool.
Otherwise this outfit is very simple BUT an excellent representation of my Summer 2019 style. So there ya go. This top was a birthday present from Art and as a "faux-wrap" has all the panache of a wrap top with none of the hassle! Couldn't find the exact one at J.Crew any more but I've linked some similar options. These jeans have been a favorite of mine since I got them 2 ish years ago?? I believe the option in the widget is nearly exact, just the 2019 version.
I seriously have about ten blog posts kicking around in my brain that I want to write, and though I should have more free time than ever right now (and how!) I just haven't felt like sitting down and doing it. All in good time. I've been blogging for so dang long that, though I never know exactly what it will look like in specific season of life, I kinda can't imagine not doing it. Thanks for reading!
