Jade high waist wide leg jeans that are fitted through the hips/thighs/butt with Cyclamen boho tank. Jeans from Amazon fit tts I’m in an 8 and at 5’5” they’re perfect with flats but too short for heels! Top from Walmart and I should have sized down to a small! Very pretty color combo together! Paired with brushed silver and turquoise jewelry and old floral sandals. I’m a natural ingenue but this look leans more ingenue natural. Fun summer mom fit. Could add a cardigan to wear in the office or swap out for sneakers for a more casual occasion.

My favorite pretty athletic long sleeve. So feminine in the lilac and plum floral print. Comes in a pretty sky blue color also. I sized up one to a large.

When work requires black… how do you pull it off if it’s not your best? As a dark deep cool true summer I made sure to buy true, soft or charcoal black. Some blacks have a tint of green and you want to avoid that so it at least is cool toned. I opted for pieces I can layer and will aim for a more monochromatic look rather than winters high contrast. I’ll have my blush slightly more rosey and keep the rest of my makeup normal. I’ll stick with my silver and pewter colored jewelry and a fun pop of summer color shoes to feel me.

The thrifted eyelet moto jacket! Linking a bunch more sizes so you can snag one too. This is a medium and at first I thought it was a little tight, but it does seem to fit true to size. I think the previous owner might’ve dried it in the dryer. I washed it on delicate and put it on when it was damp and just did a couple of stretches and get loosened back up to what it probably was originally. Perfect soft white that passes the Kleenex test! Paired with Smoked Grape match jeans that you can also thrift! These are Mother Denim and they run notoriously one size too small so go up one size! Sneakers old but there’s cuter lilac leopard ones I’ll link!

Treated myself to a new work outfit for a very important business dinner! Everyone in the store wanted to try this outfit on once I had it on! This soft white cut work blouse has fancy white metal buttons making it feel very expensive. It runs super small. I’m usually an 8. This is a 12! Couldn’t button the 10. So size up 2! IM obsessed with these denim/tweed flare slacks. The permanent crease is so sharp. They fit like a glove with a tiny bit of stretch. I started tts in an 8 regular. The length is perfect for me at 5’5” to wear a short heel. I might the matching jacket and sent a pic to my friend in the dressing room and she immediately also ordered! Shoes are my go to favorite for a pop of my personality. Bag is Amazon! I feel like a million bucks! I’m a hoc deep/dark summer and natural ingenue style personality

I just thrifted this soft white match eyelet jacket and you can too! Tons of sizes linked. The Medium is a bit tight on me but doable. It may have put in the dryer and shrunk. If between sizes, size up. I love it so much I ordered a Large also and will gift the Medium. I’m also going to wash it and put it on damp and wear it I to stretch out. Eyelet can shrink and stretch so I recommend air drying or sizing up if you prefer to use the dryer

Beautiful versatile lace overlay top. Great for work, but could definitely wear it casually as well. Fits tts I’m in M. It’s like a dusty lavender but coordinates very well with cyclamen and my belt that is a dusty pink match. My pants are a little more saturated than Air Force blue but look great with these colors and as a dark summer, I will dabble with winter navy. I have these pants and regular length for taller heels, and this pair, which is petite, for shorter heel or flats. Both at true size I’m in an 8P and am 5’5”. These heels are so fun and our lilac match. They’re actually comfortable and easy to wear all day long or special events. They come in 1 million colors. Last but at least are my pink tortoise glasses that are a steal and can be customized your prescription.

Night out with girlfriends to watch a comedian. Pink Musk jacket with denim dress. Dark blue grey purse and clover shoes

Tweed fray dark navy moto jacket. I’m in a medium and it’s good zipped shut. Lightweight so not too hot to wear as a top. If you want to keep it open I recommend sizing down. Pants come in regular and short. These are regular size 8 tts. Perfect with a heel. I also have the petite that I wear with flats they have a ton of stretch and are very comfortable and flattering!

Fabulous lightweight faux for from Nordstrom rack in a cool brown. It’s marked down to $30 so act fast! This is something you will keep in your wardrobe forever!

Leaning into my global color analysis, results of classic cool for this one! Smoky and a bit more value in the jeans than my usual Summer but it still works for me because I sit so deep in the summer palette that it’s almost winter but it’s not. Charcoal tee and pastel jade jeans. I sized up 1 in the jeans but have not altered the length yet

Clover jeans hard to find if they’re in your size grab them! Otherwise I will link similar. This top could work for Summer or spring. It does have gold buttons, but the chambray is pretty neutral. Not too warm more cool. I get a ton of compliments when I wear it! I’m in a medium and probably could’ve done a small if you don’t want it as loose.
