Yesterday was officially the first day of Summer and I….am already ready for Fall, lol. But no, seriously, Summer heat arrived in Memphis weeks ago, so I’ve already switched out my closet for more seasonally appropriate fare.

I found this pretty pink blouse at Forever 21 a few weeks ago, but I lucked up on this chiffon pleated skirt YEEEEEARS ago at Banana Republic. The location I worked at is in a smaller market, so  this was an online return. It was also returned in black and I bought both without thinking twice about it because some pieces you know you’ll be able to wear for years to come. I’ve worn them with striped tees, chambray tops, and other silky blouses. Dressed up or down, they’re an easy, versatile choice.

These fun mules are from local boutique Red Velvet Vintage. They’re a comfortable height (and the chunkier heel makes them more chunky) so I can walk around in them without wincing. I have some denim flares that I can’t wait to pair them with!

An extra pop of color (from J. Crew Factory) never hurts!
