I gotta tell you something that sort of sucks. We hit July 4th. Summer feels like it's just peaking, but then it also feels like it's ending, and it's this weird, weird feeling. So it's like, oh my gosh, I'm in the height of summer, but yet I'm already starting to think about fall. And some of that I blame on the Nordstrom sale, but that's a whole other thing. Okay, so obviously this is like somewhat of a summerish outfit, right? You're wearing white jeans and sandals and a top. But how do you transition that? Like, originally I was going to put a little raffia bag with it, and in July I totally would. But if we're getting into August, September, where you still can wear white jeans, how do you— or you are a sun chaser, meaning like you spend your winters, your colder months in warmer weather, what do you do? I think you add something that grounds it, like a darker bag. And then all of a sudden it feels a little more— a little less like summertime on the yacht and a little more wintertime in Palm Beach, if you know what I mean.
