Silver Lining: anatomy of an easy summer outfit

anatomy of an easy summer outfit

These days, you can find me in anything easy and low-key. Here's my go-to summer outfit for these hot 100 degree days:

Sunglasses: more often than not, you'll find these pushed on top of my head instead of covering my eyes. You'll also find me wearing my husband's aviators that I love to steal.

Air-dried hair: it's all about easy and low-key for me. I let my hair air-dry, and try to embrace the natural waves. It takes less time and is easy on my hair.

V-neck tee: I'm loving neutral v-necks to wear with my brighter skirts. And if it doesn't require an undershirt, even better.

Strappy sandals: my family calls these my Nephi sandals, but any sandal works for me :)

Knit skirt: I prefer skirts over shorts. I mean, given the choice between wearing pants and wearing no pants, what would you pick on a hot day? But seriously, I go for anything that's fun, colorful, and doesn't need a slip.

All-purpose tote: I got this one free from BYU's visual design department. On any given day, it has my phone, my nice camera, and some library books in it. It's a more casual summer purse alternative.

And there you have it! What you can typically find me wearing these days. I'm not a fashion blogger, but thanks, as always, for reading along as I document the little things in my life.

    1. Thanks! It's just a regular Target v-neck. Usually they're too low, but I found if I go down a size, it covers a lot more and it's still not too tight. PS you should change your account so you're not a no-reply blogger so I can reply to you in an email :)

  7. You are gorgeous! And very svelt. I loved your post about your Mom. We are celebrating her today as well. I was often one of those people whom she would offer to help because "I was so busy" even though I knew that she always had more to do than I did. Still love her.

  8. okay brooke - you are one sexy little girl.
    that needed to be said.

    and obviously your outfit is cute.
    and skirts over shorts any day - unless the day is beach day- than i'll take little shorts over my suit :)
