Two Weeks of Everyday Summer Outfits

I had an appointment for my first DEXA scan a couple of weeks ago. #ThisIs53

They instructed me to wear comfortable clothes, so I grabbed my Ruti On The Loose Work Pants and paired them with my new Quince leather flip-flops for a modern, laid-back look. I topped it off with my favorite Athleta linen tank in a soft green shade. Apparently, I still can’t resist a black-and-olive combination.

I brought along a denim jacket in case the waiting room was chilly, and I grabbed my old black Gucci Soho Disco as I headed out the door. I kind of forget about this bag, but it was one of my very first luxury handbag purchases and is still a favorite, even though it’s a little dated now. It’s such a convenient style and still one of my go-to bags for travel. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth out of this one!

For a hair appointment the next afternoon, I paired these super-soft wide-leg jeans, which have a fun tie-waist detail, with this simple smocked tank. Both are on sale right now, by the way. (Use code FOURTH for 40% off at Splendid.)

Madewell’s Airy Denim is a lightweight cotton/TENCEL™ blend, which makes these jeans much softer and lighter than traditional denim. They drape beautifully and are surprisingly comfortable, even on warmer days.

Since they’re a smidge too long for me to wear with flats, I added my jelly thong sandals with the kitten heel for a little extra height.

The next day, I was back in comfy clothes for a visit to my chiropractor. I’ve worn some version of this outfit four or five times over the past couple of weeks. It’s just the easiest thing to throw on and go when I need to be comfortable, and it’s modest enough for all the contorting that happens at the chiropractor’s office. (He’s been working on my hip recently.)

Also, this linen-blend muscle tank is part of the Athleta Semi-Annual Sale. It’s super lightweight and easy to throw on with shorts or pants for workouts or casual everyday looks, and it comes in tons of colors. I already have it in Black and Cacti, but that Siren color is calling my name!

I pulled on this fun outfit to meet friends for a casual weeknight dinner. I like the combination of the striped sweater tank, wide-leg jeans (on sale!), and jelly flip-flops with the gold ball hardware. It’s a fun mix of casual and dressy, with modern silhouettes.

I added a Jane Win pendant, a triple-row beaded bracelet, and finished the look with simple hoops. The espresso brown woven bag ties in with the sandals and adds a little texture to the outfit.

The girls and I went and got pedicures on a Saturday afternoon, which was fun. It was a hot day, so I pulled on a pair of light wash denim shorts and this pink top from last year. I wore the jelly flip-flops again and carried the same woven brown bag as the day before, and I accessorized with some simple gold jewelry.

The next day, I had nursery duty at church, so I kept it casual with blue jeans, but I added a ribbed button-up sweater tank, some fun embellished flip-flops, and a coordinating beaded bracelet.

How fun is this navy-and-white striped handwoven raffia bag with the circular handle? I love the coastal vibes. Paired with the embroidered-trim red tank and blue jeans (or shorts), it makes a fun, festive Fourth of July look.

I wore this casual look after a photo shoot with Alison the next day, and I believe I did some try-ons when I got home, which is how I ended up holding the bag.

I spent the next day at home, so I wore the Ruti pants and my trusty Athleta linen tank once again.

Another day I started out in this tank top and shorts.

And then I changed to go to the mall with Becca later in the afternoon to find her a wedding guest dress. Her search was much shorter than mine, but about as confusing. She came home with three options to choose from, and we’re going to return the two she didn’t wear.

Funny story: we got to the register at Altar’d State, and one of the dresses rang up for $5.97! I double-checked to make sure that was right, and I guess it was an older style that had been returned. It was the only one in the store, and I couldn’t find it online.

Happily, that’s the dress she ended up choosing! Sadly, I can’t provide a link, but here she is wearing it. Caroline’s dress is from last year, but I was surprised to find that there are still a few sizes available, so I’ve linked it below.

Anyway, I changed into pants because I’m always cold in the mall, and I swapped my sandals for a more comfortable pair for walking. By the way, these pants are on sale at Shopbop in the raw hem version right now. Use code PRIME25 at checkout.

It was back to my Ruti pants and Quince leather flip flops the next day to work from home after my morning workout. I just kept on the pink tank I had worn to the gym.

Last Friday was the much-anticipated wedding I’ve been talking about. We had a great time, and I ultimately decided on this indigo-blue V-neck sheath dress with the ruched bodice. I accessorized with a delicate layered pearl-and-gold necklace, a chunky pearl and crystal bracelet, and double hoop earrings. Altogether, I felt it was dressy enough for the festive occasion while still being appropriate for a daytime event.

I carried an elegant chain-strap crossbody bag, and I wore an older pair of Stuart Weitzman heels in a coordinating taupe patent that I absolutely love. They have such a gorgeous heel, and the strap design is super flattering while still providing enough stability to walk (and dance) in comfortably.

Sadly, my old knees can no longer tolerate heels over 3 inches. (These are 85mm, or about 3.3 inches.) My feet felt perfectly fine all night—no blisters, no soreness, nothing—but my knees apparently took one for the team. They’ve been stiff and swollen ever since, although they’re slowly getting better.

The next day, it was back to life, back to reality… After my morning Pilates class, I changed into the striped sweater tank and dark blue linen wide-leg pants to pick my dad up at the airport and run a few errands together. I still wish these pants didn’t have the large utility pockets, but I think they’re much more noticeable in photos than they are in real life. Paul assured me they look fine.

VESTIRSI sent me this gorgeous Sloan Tan Resort Crossbody Clutch. I’d been eyeing their summer raffia collection, so I was thrilled when they offered to send me a piece. It’s such a cool design and surprisingly spacious inside for a relatively small bag. I love the combination of cognac leather and tan raffia for summer.

For church on Father’s Day, I wore this old favorite Tommy Bahama linen-blend sheath dress. I always feel like it’s too casual for a heel, but maybe that’s silly? I decided to go with these black strappy flats and keep things comfortable.

I accessorized with a few silver pieces, and I carried a white woven crossbody. I like how it coordinates with the contrast stitching in the dress and keeps the look light and summery.

I changed into shorts and a tank top for the afternoon.

Monday was another WFH day, although I took my dad back to the airport mid-morning. And you probably saw this coming… I wore the Ruti pants again!

This time I paired them with a blue scoop-neck muscle tank that recently arrived from Anthro and the same Madewell flip-flops as the day before. They’re surprisingly comfortable, and I love the contrast of the white thong straps against the black footbed.

And yesterday, I wore my Vuori straight-leg pants and Athleta tank again! I just had a chiropractor appointment, and otherwise I was at home all day.

By the way, I’m loving my new APL TechLoom Dream Sneakers. They’re super soft, lightweight, supportive, and cushioned. And even though they’re a bit clunkier than what I’m used to, I think they look kind of cool, too.

So that’s a wrap for this edition of What I Wore Lately! The dog days of summer are setting in, so the next few weeks will likely be pretty casual.

I’ll still be trying to level things up and put fun outfits together, though. It’s good practice, even when we don’t have anywhere “important” to go.

What have you been living in lately? I’d love to hear what’s been on repeat in your closet this summer.
