It’s June already? Crazy how time flies. In just a few days,
my month spent on the East Coast will be over, and I will be basking in the
California sun for the rest of the summer. Hooray! This will be the longest
span I’ve spent in the Bay Area (2 months!) and I’m quite excited to explore.
This gets me to another topic, what I will be wearing.
Unless you are living under a rock, it’s clear that brights are this year’s
“thing”. Here are a few of my favorite pieces I’ve picked up recently.
J Brand 811 Mid-Rise Jeans (in several colors) – J Brand
makes my favorite denim, hands down. They always fit me perfectly. In fact, I’d
say 95% of my “denim wardrobe” consists of J Brand, with some odd pairs of
Citizens of Humanity and True Religion thrown in. The 811 is my ultimate:
mid-rise (no risk of underwear peeking out) and skinny. The fun colors they had
this season were an extra bonus. I’ve been wearing these with everything – boxy
tee shirts, silk blouses (J. Crew’s are my fave, and much more affordable than
Equipment!), and neutral colored sweaters on chilly nights.
Zara TRF Floral Pants – I bought this pair back in India,
but Zara still has an awesome selection of floral pants. Ever since I spotted
prints like this on the Celine S/S runway, I was obsessed. This pair fits well,
has adorable tuxedo detailing, and best of all, was super affordable, since
unfortunately, I don’t think floral, skintight pants are exactly considered a
classic.
Multitude of colorful tees – Joe Fresh, Aritzia (my favorite
store for basics), James Perse, Alternative Apparel, J. Crew, Leslie Fremar for
Fruit of the Loom. I love plain tees, and stock up on them every season. There
is nothing like a well-fitting tee shirt to wear with everything from boyfriend
jeans to pencil skirts to tie-dyed cutoffs a la Isabel Marant (I picked mine up
from Forever 21). I am currently loving H&M and James Perse’s mens tees,
which I buy in a size small, for that effortless “boyfriend” look, tucked into
pants and worn with an oversized rhinestone necklace.
Fun, citron heels from Thailand – Ever since Miu Miu’s polka
dot platform sandals from last spring, I’ve been hunting down an affordable
pair that uses dots as an accent. I found this pair at Zen Department Store in
Bangkok, Thailand, in April, and I love how they add a touch of whimsy to an
otherwise simple outfit.
My favorite jewelry right now – Woven Skull bracelet
(unknown brand), Tai Shell Bracelet, and Tiffany & Co. Key necklace with
additional charms by Dyanne Bell.
The best part about the “brights” look is that dressing is
as easy as one, two, three – pick a bottom, add a contrasting color top, and
finish with fun jewelry (vintage rhinestone necklaces from Ebay are my go-to).
