Late summer looks to recreate




Hi, my name is Libby, and I love Pinterest! I have been so inspired from outfits I have pinned lately. It has been helping me create new outfits from things I already had in my closet. Which means a little less shopping, and a lot happier bank account, haha. Today, I have picked some of my favorite looks that I have pinned, and tried to find links to recreate them. I tried to include some more affordable pieces in the links, for my gals on a budget (like me!). I really think you might have a lot of similar things in your closet though!
(also, come say hi on Pinterest!!)


Look #1

Clean white dress look

I totally pinned this from Carly's blog post the other morning. I was so so inspired by the clean look of the white dress, and the pop of color from the scarf. It is such a classic look, and here's what you need:
- white dress: I actually saw a similar one to her Theory dress on Poshmark, but here is what I found:
very similar J. Crew
 eyelet shirt dress
 a cream colored dress (if white isn't your thing!)

-colorful scarf (love the blues in this, and its under $50!)

-statement handbag (on sale!) 

Look #2

simple skirt/shirt look

I love a gingham anything, and I keep coming back to this pin lately. Again, it is a great simple outfit that screams wear me before summer is over. I bet you might have the pieces in you closet already! What you need:

-gingham skirt (this is a skort + on sale!)

-white shirt

-straw bag


Look #3

sleeveless sweater + shorts look

I love love a sleeveless sweater. Especially now that it is August, a sweater like this will transition nicely into fall! It is also so effortlessly style with jean shorts and easy accessories! What you will need:

-white sleeveless sweater, ruffle neck shirt also a great option

-jean shorts

-white sneakers (on sale!)

-statement sunglasses



This was fun to put together! Maybe I will recreate fall looks, but show you guys what I had in my closet to recreate them! Which is your favorite, and want to wear now?! Let me know!

As always,

#dontforgetyourpearls

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
