Outfit inspo: effortless early summer

Outfit inspo effortless early summer: lipstick / pink nail polish / pink earrings / black tee / stripe pants / straw tote / fisherman sandals / Chanel Chanel eau splendide /

It’s early summer when the fog rolls in and some days are scorching yet others are mild and cool. This is the perfect time to wear a lightweight pair of effortless pants with a tee. Comfort and dressing for the weather are key.

I love summer weight pants, and these tees are super comfy. I ended up getting this tee is six colors for the summer season. They wear and wash well plus they look super chic. Love that!

These pants will also work on cool beach days with flip flops or low-key espadrilles. They will perfect all summer long. The sandals shown above dress the pants up for the city, lunch, and more. Love them!

Summer capsule wardrobe 2025

Summer capsule wardrobe from top left: light knit top / pink statement earrings / white peplum top / ivory jeans (petite, also avl in reg and tall) / stripe pants / white skirt / black tee /

This summer season, I am sticking to a neutral color palette as well as black and white combos. For color, I love the Hermes nail polish collection for adding a little fun to my overall look. I am also incorporating pops of pink and mocha; keeping in line with current color trends, of course!

My summer capsule wardrobe is really a continuation of my spring capsule, with a few added pieces to replace the ones with thicker fabric. After all, dressing for the weather is a must!

If you are looking for flattering tee shirts which won’t break the bank, I am in love with these! I have them in multiple colors for summer; olive, ivory, light blue, navy, and black. I picked up two in black because I wear the color so often. They also wash well. I have been washing them in warm, regular cycle, and throwing them in the dryer. They come out looking great! Love that!

So, summer 2025 is all about classic style, keeping lines clean, and continuing investment dressing. Love!

Checking out the new Nintendo store

If you are into eSports and gaming, then you are already aware of the new Nintendo store in San Francisco! Located on Union Square, the new Nintendo San Francisco offers two stories of merch, consoles, and of course, games! Since the store just opened last week, we found ourselves in a line just to enter and shop.

We went on a weekday, since on weekends you need to make an appointment to shop. This meant waiting in a standby line for one hour and twenty minutes. The line wasn’t bad since Nintendo had employees come out and talk to us about games. Plus, the other customers were friendly and there was a sense of community in the line. This made the line feel quite fast!

Once we entered the store, we had thirty minutes to shop. This was the right amount of time for my kids to choose what they wanted and also float around the store to see everything. We had a lot of fun, and my kids left happy. Love that!

I decided to wear my go-to black pants and this fun, white peplum top with a twist. It is perfect for the office as well as other occasions. There’s nothing like a classic white top with black pants. It is always an easy outfit, or shall I say, go-to outfit!

After our shopping adventure, we walked up to Chinatown and tried a restaurant I saw on TikTok. I know it sounds risky, but the place ended up being delicious! We enjoyed dimsum including pork xlb, sticky rice shumai, and the cheese and corn bao’s pictured above. Yum! The restaurant was Dumpling Fushion, and I recommend!

So, if you plan to visit the new Nintendo store, be sure to make a reservation for the weekend, or try going on a weekday; just wear comfy shoes and plan for the line. Have fun with it!

Thanks for stopping by!
