Meanwhile, Back in My Closet

Have you ever bought something for an upcoming season, but can't wait to wear it?? It's happening more often as retailers put out future season pieces earlier and earlier! I try to figure out how to make the most of these purchases, so that's what inspired this post today!

I was flipping through my latest issue of People Style Watch and this 'Look for Less' is really what inspired me. I liked that the white fringe pieces scream summer vacation, but using army green and heavier shoes has made it wearable as the seasons *slowly* shift.

I had purchased this white beach tunic from the Stella & Dot summer preview collection mainly for our summer vacation come May and any pool going to do this summer. But I liked the way it was also wearable day to day. Below is my interpretation of the Look for Less, using a jacket I recently purchased from JustFab and my trusty neutral booties.

Disclaimer - I probably wouldn't wear this until it was MUCH warmer, or unless we were going directly to the beach....it's pretty short and even I was feeling a little self conscious on the length.

But, I also wanted to find a way to really wear this now, when it hovers around 50 degrees outside so you still need your legs covered. So I tucked the tunic into a shirt (using the length to my advantage and wearing it loose) and paired with a great pair of boyfriend denim. This is something that I think would look great a lots of skin tones and body types.

I'll put shopping links below! But check out my stellar modeling!
