Summer Basics

These have been my summer basics on repeat. Whenever I just have no clue what the occasion calls for, I grab this. It fits into my casual vibe I've been feeling lately but just dressy enough for going out. I love that it's also subtly sexy with the transparent-gauzy material of the shirt. I can't get enough of blue and white (as you might have heard me mention before) or embroidery details. I saw this shirt and HAD TO HAVE IT (it didn't hurt it was only $5! Bam!) And of course, my H&M hat. I wear that thing as much as I can! 
My favorite favorite nude wedges died on me and a single sad tear fell down my face when I had to finally admit I needed to get rid of them. I traded them out for these slides and honestly, I'm just as much as in love with these. They remind me of Bianca and Danielle from Kastor & Pollux. Time will tell if they are as comfortable as my old wedges. 
What are your summer basics right now?

On the Carousel

I told y'all I love mint. This chiffon flowy maxi skirt is perfect with my carousel-print crop top and pink flip-flops. I threw on this comfy summer outfit to go on a lunch date with my boyfriend for our "Sunday" (we are off during the week). I love how all the details are super-duper saccharine-girly-sweet but honestly the overall silhouette of the outfit is uber basic & effortless: baggy crop-top, maxi skirt and flip-flops. 
Hope your week is going just as effortlessly!

All Tied Up

Just so y'all know, I LIVE in this dress. I saw it in the window in a boutique in Bali and the color combination of mint, lavender and navy just drew me in. I also love how it ties and gathers at the neck (did you get my clever two-fold pun for my title? tied at the neck; tie dye?!) I styled it with a wide leather belt and a ballet-inspired shrug to make it work appropriate but I plan on doing a blog post soon about how I usually wear it - kaftan style. When I bought the dress (on impulse) I didn't plan on how versatile this dress actually is. 
What are some of your favorite recent fashion nabs?

TBP's Four Fave Looks Via Instagram

 The Basic-Not-So-Basic Dress 

I've been itching to do a blog post but no new photos for ya yet! (But don't worry - bunches and bunches of ideas) Instead, I figured I'd work my #OOTD instagram photos from the past few months… then I realized I could CATEGORIZE THEM. Of course, then I realized I'd look like an egotistical psycho. Lots and lots of Lindseys. But a psycho with a pretty extensive closet. With all honesty, I don't think it's that big but then looking at 20 outfits and seeing only 2 clothing pieces repeated (the green pencil skirt) - well, okay then! Not too shabby. Here is some of my favorite looks that I wear on the daily. Enjoy! 

If you could categorize your looks what would your 4 groups be??

4th of July


4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. Who doesn't like putting on little sundresses and grubbing out to hamburgers, hot dogs and American beer? Back home, my friends and I always go to Marietta Square where they rope off the streets and set up food vendors. We'd tailgate on the parking deck, staking our claim for the perfect spot to see the fireworks show. *Siiiiiigh* Sometimes, it's hard not being home. Summer is my favorite time of year to be in Georgia and it just can't be perfectly recreated anywhere else in the world. Not sure what we'll do in Singapore tomorrow; perhaps there will be some intriguing festivities going on.

Why don't more people wear scarves like this? I've always loved square scarves (any shape really) but wearing them in my hair makes me feel like they're going to slip off any minute, even with an army of bobby pins. I saw Elsie from A Beautiful Mess and I thought, "Yessss. I'm doing that, too." I'm gonna bring it back.

Hope everyone has spectacular (and safe) 4th of July celebrations! How will you be celebrating?
And Happy Birthday, America!
