Summer is here, and if you work in a business casual environment, like the ones we have here in Silicon Valley, you might be wondering how to put lighter-weight outfits together.

These tee’s are very affordable and hold their shape. They are easy to wear under a cardigan sweater or blazer. When sitting at your desk, or off to lunch, you can easily leave the cardigan or blazer at your desk and just wear the tee. This is perfect on those ninety degree days we get!

Love a pair of linen pants! These wide leg pants are fashionable and practical. You can wear them almost everyday with a different top. They come in petite, regular and tall sizes. Love that!

Summer sweaters are cool yet put together for the office, same with a good blouse. This one has a fun little twist!

This white skirt may only be good on Friday’s, but it is lined, so it has a more formal look to it than your average casual white skirt. This means you can wear it to the office if your dress code allows. Love!

Summer is officially here, and we are stocking up on classic pieces. As we start to get a sneak peek into fall trends, continue to invest in the anonymous handbag, neutral clothing, staple wardrobe pieces, and splurge on a new fragrance.

Did you know fragrance is getting popular again? Back in the 1990s we used to leave a scent trail. While 2025 isn’t quite there, we are back to getting noticed. So, don’t be afraid to spray a second time, or wear a heavier perfume. Right now, stick to summery scents such as fruity florals, florals, vanilla based fragrances, and spicy scents. As we head towards fall, stay tuned for exotic scents, woody florals, woody scents, oud, and more!

Have you heard of “Texani?” Apparently, it’s a street style trend out of Italy where people dress the way they think Texans dress. I find this trend amusing, but at the same time, it will be integrated in fall fashion. Keep your western style boots, hats and denim. This trend will translate here in America as outfits you might find yourself wearing to a country music concert. It will also include more subtle touches like pairing boots with dresses and skirts; which is something we are already doing! haha, maybe Italy got this right? I don’t live in Texas, so maybe a Texan can weigh in?

In the meantime, continue to invest in closet staples, basics, neutrals, and high-quality handbags. Love!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more summer and pre-fall coverage!

XOXO
