It's my birthday week and if there's one thing a Leo/Texan knows how to do, it's dress for summer. So here are the things on heavy rotation in my closet this August - true to my Virgo moon I love, love, love having a uniform and wearing things on repeat - the more I reach for something, the more I love it - it's real validation when those are the same pieces I ask you to buy as well!
It opens with the Soleil, naturally. A sun dress for a sun sign.
Happy Shopping! I added some accessories - some owned, some dreamed of (in true $$$ Leo fashion).
How I actually wear them - seven looks
The simple one. The Soleil: keep it simple with a gold pendant and raffia sandals. Add an Aly Top tied at the waist when the AC gets too intense.
The glam one. Maxine tank with the Francine pant in Sweet Pea Stripe. Add the Iris top open as a jacket and lots of fancy jewelry to keep it glam.
The easy one. Naya Top in Cerulean Embroidery with the Camila Short in Salt. Add a spritz of musk and a flip flop.
Errands, elevated. Francine in Jelly Bean with a Leset white tee, a gold bangle, and the Dr. Scholl's.
Golden hour. The Adelia in Marigold. Search Etsy for a simple long amber necklace and a gold bangle that sits high on your forearm.
With everything. The Ruffle Tote - mine, and your, new carryall. The perfect pop of fun (it went all over New York and weighed nothing).
Out to dinner. The Hana in Apricot - layer on all your favorite delicate pendants.
Everything here that isn't ours - the Greek sandals, the evil eye ring, the bangles, a small museum of lion-head vintage - is gathered in my Leo Season edit on ShopMy.
The twelve
- Soleil Dress in Salt - the opener. Eyelet at the neckline, air everywhere else.
- Hana Dress in Bluebell - the one with the social calendar.
- Molly Top in Seashell Embroidery - proof a white top can have a secret.
- Ruffle Tote - quilted, hand-printed, permanently over-packed.
- Camila Short in Salt - lake mornings.
- Maxine Top in Salt - its partner in crime.
- Juno Dress in Lilac - a bow to a certain genius in purple.
- Eloise Dress in Lilac - the long-dinner dress.
- Sofia Top in Apricot - golden hour, wearable.
- Hana Dress in Apricot - yes, twice. Some bodies earn two colorways.
- Annina Top in Folk Embroidery - trying without trying.
- Britt Skirt in Folk Embroidery - what it was made to meet.
xoxo, Michelle
