Button Culottes
Here is a little twist to the regular culotte. I absolutely adore the button detail on these and how high up on the waist they sit. The buttons can be manipulated to however you'd like to wear them.

I prefer opening a couple of buttons for a more casual, laid-back look and I really love how the pants flow a little more with some of the button undone.
I paired it with a white button-down, which I tied up for a more cropped look, my boater hat and my suede double-strap sandals.

For The Love Of Linen
If I could just live in one outfit for the rest of my days I think it would probably be some kind of overalls so, needless to say, when I found these it was pretty much love at first sight. Aside from the versatility of overalls I'm fond of the lack of effort you need to put into your outfit. You don't really have to think about it, just throw it on & you look put-together.
And of course, The linen + wide cropped leg is just one big major plus on these. Probably the most comfortable piece of clothing that I own and I am kind of dreading the end of summer just because I don't want to stop wearing them. I paired them with my beloved sandals I purchased in Athens but really, I could probably put on just about any pair of spring/summer shoes and it'll work just fine.
And it has pockets! One of my favorite details ever is the addition of pockets. I also really like how the front comes to a V cut as opposed to your typical overall straight cut. I think this gives it more interest and makes it a tad more feminine. They're honestly just a win all around in my book.

Two-Piece Sets For Summer
If you saw my spring essentials video you would've probably seen me mention two-piece sets and how I'm loving them this summer.
These shorts and this top is actually not sold as a set but I paired them together and absolutely love how it looks.
It's such a lightweight outfit which is perfect for these ridiculously hot days. Plus, they can be mixed and matched with other pieces.

Summer Fashion Trends I'm Loving
1. Linen: I feel like nothing says beach & summer quite like linen. I really love how airy and elegant this fabric is and I am so glad it's EVERYWHERE this summer. I honestly don't think it will ever go out of style and it is definitely a staple in my summer wardrobe. I got these linen overalls not too long ago and I'm so in love with them, plus they're SO comfortable.

2. Wide Leg Trousers or Culottes: This is another trend that is everywhere this summer that I cannot get enough of. If you saw last weeks post you would've seen my current favorite culottes. Seriously, the most comfortable pants ever and very flattering. These pants are perfect to wear with very cropped or tied-up tops since they are normally very high-waisted.

3. Gingham: This pattern is making a major comeback and I am not mad at it. I styled this gingham romper a couple of weeks ago and that's definitely not the last of the gingham you'll be seeing from me this summer. 😉

4. Flatforms: .. and if they're espadrille then even better! If you read this post you would've seen me go on and on about how I've loved this style ever since I went to Greece. I'm so glad they're so popular here this summer.

5.Woven Bags: You guys have seen me wear my little woven bag a million times but really, I love any woven bag. Woven bags in general are a hit this summer and I absolutely love the touch it adds to every outfit.

6. Tie-up Cut-out Dresses: Doesn't necessarily have to be dresses, you can get this same effect with any really cropped top and flowy, high-waisted bottom that cinches at the waist. It's the peek of the midriff that I think is very flattering.
