Morning! I hope you all had a great long weekend - mine was busy and fun, but somehow I don't feel like I've had four days off. At least it's a short week!
We took these pictures at the Santa Monica Pier the other afternoon - typically, I try to avoid going on the pier during the summer because it is just insanely busy, but this was still relatively early and it wasn't too bad (that's a tip if you ever visit LA in the summer). It's fun to stop by and enjoy such a cool attraction which people come from all over to see, and is just a few blocks away from me!
The weather here is still quite warm, so I will have to wait to pull out anything too 'fall-y'. I paired navy shorts with leopard print flats (a must have, in my opinion - mine are old by Ralph Lauren, but these from Asos are awesome) and a chambray top which I cinched with a fun orange belt with a little gold frog on it (from Banana Republic, old, sadly). I think chambray tops are another versatile must have - they are just so easy and go with everything - this one is $53 and has a really great cut.
I hope you have a good Tuesday...if you are in NY for Fashion Week I'd love to hear about it!

ReplyDeleteLove the belt on this outfit! I agree with what you said--the few days off didn't really even feel like days off...I think I need a vacation from my mini-vacation!

DeleteLovely relaxed look Whitney... and the weather looks great there :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of pairing chambray with a belt! Very jealous you live so close to the pier, I visited for the 1st time last summer & loved it :) I'm one of those tourists that make it too busy/crowded for all of the locals haha.
ReplyDeletego for the glam
LOVE your chambray shirt!!! And the fact that you paired it with a belt! Genius. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I never go to the Santa Monica Pier in the summer too! Way too many tourists. You look so cute though, I love the pop of red!

Whitney this is a fantastic outfit! I agree that a chambray is a "must-have" & I am currently searching for leopard flats. I love the orange frog belt, such a great touch!

This is a fun look; too bad things seem like they get crazy on on the pier. It sounds like a fun place!
