Denim in the Afternoon

Dress: Target denim

Sandals: Saltwater Sandals leather

Bag: Target woven straw

Sunglasses: Sportsgirl resin

*

Although I adore dressing up for an occasion, sometimes it's nice to just keep it simple & classic with a denim dress & some casual accessories for an afternoon visiting family. I've styled up this Target blue denim shift dress - replete with silver buttons down the front panel - with a pair of black leather Saltwater Sandals for the ultimate fusion of comfort & style, a black woven straw crossbody bag from Target to hold all my essentials while keeping my hands free & a pair of retro-inspired funky cat's eye resin sunglasses from my local Sportsgirl store to keep my eyes protected from the sun's ramful rays.

Nostalgic Summer

 

*

Top: TK Maxx white broderie, lace

Shorts: Best & Less denim

Flats: Hael & Jax via Obsession Shoes leather, studs

*

There's something so incredibly nostalgic about wearing a delicate white broderie top with lace trim as the warmer weather hits... especially if you pair it with some blue denim shorts that really make a child of the 80s/early 90s like me feel all kinds of summertime vibes! The beautiful blouse in question was under $50 from my local TK Maxx store & is super soft & cool & cottagecore while the denim was an absolute bargain from chain store Best & Less for a mere $35. I've styled them up here with a pair of black leather & silver studded pointy-toed flat Mary Janes from a label called Hael & Jax that I picked up from the inimitable Obsession Shoes for a finishing touch of hard-edge cool-girl juxtapostion.

All the pictures from a casual day out at the "top of town" in historical Ipswich wearing this smart casual matching set from Princess Highway that's covered in the sweetest little frog-in-a-lily-pond print! I've styled it up here with a pair of tan vegan leather gladiator sandals from Blowfish Malibu that I picked up at Williams Shoes & a natural woven paper slouch bag from Cotton On to carry all the essentials.
