Look Book: Summer Leggings & Strappy Sandals

Jul 31, 2012

Hello & happy Tuesday, friends! Well, I'm supposed to be on bed rest. Haha, but here I am sneaking in a quick outfit post on my way to a doctor's appointment. Once a blogger, always a blogger, right?! But, I'm happy to report I've been regaining my energy + strength, and truthfully I'm kind of a busy body even when I'm feeling under the weather. On another note, are you surprised to see me in leggings?! We've been having such a mild summer but the "layer lover" in me couldn't be happier!!
I feel like this style of outfit is not one that I usually show on the blog, but it's definitley a casual style I wear a fair bit in my day-to-day life. I also love to wear the same variation with a super short denim mini & cute striped little blazer, or I'd swap out the skirt altogether for a cute pair of high waisted shorts. Oh, and did you notice my bangs are side swept?! I think I might try it for the summer - I'm kind of liking the subtle change.
Other than that, I've been doing lots of self pampering lately; seems like the only logical cure when you're not feeling well. It's been a week of manicures & online shopping, I just bought this Madewell cami plus this super fun boho style necklace from Stella & Dot. I also did a much needed hair treatment and facial... oh boy, am I on a self-indulgent roll or what?! ;) Have a great day, everyone!
Outfit Details: 
Denim Jacket - H&M (similar)

Lots of love,

  10. Leggings were my summer uniform a couple of years ago. Tunics, skirts, dresses - all with leggings. They come in so handy!

  12. It's unfair that you look this cute while you're supposed to be on bedrest still ;) and in your casual clothes nonetheless. hehe! I love your bangs sideswept! my favorite thing is when my bangs are the PERFECT length to do both sideswept and straight across.

  15. I really love this look! Although, I'll have to wait until fall to try and wear something like that. It's way too hot where I'm from! whew!

  16. I'm so glad to hear you're better! That was quite the scare...aha, but I love what you said about "once a blogger, always a blogger." So true!
    That skirt has such a cute design/texture to it. Love how you styled it.
    Plus, your sideswept bangs are so cute! :)

  20. Once a blogger, always a blogger indeed! I've been in the same boat, and even once went out in the rain to take outfit photos while I had bronchitis. We must be crazy - but I guess we wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun, right? I must say, for someone who is supposed to be on bed rest, you are looking decidedly fresh and lovely. I'm not much of a leggings girl, but they are a natural pairing with your sweet skirt. I can almost see this outfit with that adorable new Madewell tank you bought! And I'm loving the sideswept bangs - definitely an easier style to maintain in warmer weather. Happy Tuesday!

  30. totally cute look, though, very much an impossibility here in the northeast. i can only handle shorts and skirts, with loose tees and blouses!
