Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you have to wear palm prints and bright florals. A black and white outfit is a chic no matter what time of year. It always looks stylish and sophisticated, plus it’s perfect for an effortless day or night look. For the most part my clothes are very neutral, so I often gravitate toward this traditional color combo. This drapey, lightweight blouse caught my eye at Old Navy recently and I love how the geometric pattern gives it a fresh twist. The fabric is soft and breezy, so it’s perfect for these hot summer months. Bonus: it travels well and doesn’t end up terribly wrinkled by the time you get to your destination! I wore it with denim shorts while we were in Austin recently (travel guide coming soon!), but it’s also been a staple in my Vegas wardrobe. For an afternoon strolling around Container Park with my husband I paired it with white high-rise skinny jeans—this was before our massive heat wave! However it was still quite toasty, hence the pomegranate Italian soda in my hand. It’s so hot right now that you need to be in a pool or have a cold drink to be outdoors. Even then it feels like you’re stepping into an oven with a hair dryer blowing in your face. Sounds pleasant, right? ;) hope you are all having a great summer so far!

Thank you, Manavi!
Loving this look! I’m struggling to hard to find a good pair of white jeans. I really like the ones you’re wearing.

Thanks! They are the “Jamie ” jean from Topshop. I also have them in black because I love them so much :) they are comfy and don’t stretch out during the day.
I have the denim Jamie jeans and I love them. It says the White run small so I don’t know what size to get. And they are out of the 26×30 but they do have 25×30.
sorry for the late response! Topshop sizes can be tricky :/ mine are 28×32 if that helps! and in normal stores I’m typically a 26.
Such a gorgeous summer look, babe! Love that top
