Sometimes it just feels right to practice the ol’ KISS method and Keep It Simple. Not too fussy, just classic. My usual “uniform” always revolves around some form of button-front shirt and as summer (slowly but surely) starts to roll around, nothing feels more relaxed than a great pair of white jeans and a crisp, but super lightweight, shirt! This combination is merely a blank canvas to start accessorizing. From a pop of color in your handbag, to a funky scarf, to a metallic sandal, the options are endless.
I think my pent up wishes for a beachy vacay started to shine through when I got dressed last weekend… lots of nautical inspiration! A striped shirt, boat shoes, sea-life jewelry, etc.
I’ve been lusting over shark tooth jewelry ever since I saw those oversized shark teeth pendants walk down the Givenchy S/S 2012 runway! (Ready to wear version here.) I’ve kept my eyes peeled for affordable versions and was beyond thrilled when I saw the Coral Reef collection from one of my favorite jewelry companies, Sequin! This lovely shark tooth pendant is a mere $38.. Too good to pass up!

Great minds 😉
you finally got your pink clutch! 🙂
I did, I did!! Got this when it was 30% off at J.Crew Factory! Major score 🙂
I could not agree more – sometimes simple is the best! Love your necklace and gold Sperrys!

This is the perfect simple look! Sometimes simple is the best way to go. Adding metallic Sperry’s and some jewelry really jazzes it up!
Such a cute, simple look! Thanks for the tip on those Sperry’s too 🙂
These Sperrys are a must have! Don’t miss that 30+% off price 🙂
Ordered them today! Can’t wait to style them 🙂
When in doubt, simple is always best. My summer uniform is similar, white silky blouse, rolled up skinny denim and ballet flats. It’s amazing how many people will compliment you and you’re like “I’m just wearing a top and jeans, people!”
Ha! I totally agree. Those are always the types of outfits that people compliment!
Loving the pop of color clutch!

KISS method – why have I never heard that before?? Brilliant. 🙂
Summer uniform = neutrals, a lightweight jacket, blouse’y top and sunglasses! Love your ON jeans.
Love the idea of keeping it simple. Great outfit today 🙂 My favorite summer outfit is a maxi skirt with a white t-shirt and sandals.

Simple looks are the best! I love the seersucker top with easy white pants and your cool boat shoes.
My Summer uniform definitely involves denim shorts and an easy button-up!
