Is anyone actually getting dressed these days? Me, I am! I did a poll on Instagram last week asking what everyone wanted to see – it was a majority vote for “My Summer Outfits.”
My long time blogging bestie, Melissa from Mom Style Made Easy, and I are doing a collaboration featuring our espadrille sandals this week. We’re posting today, Wednesday & Friday so make sure to follow her to get double the inspo!
These Carla wedge espadrilles from Target are so cute and the platform wedge design makes them comfortable to walk in. I’m excited to show you how versatile they are.
This whole outfit is from Target – a mix of old and new. The green shorts are from last year so I’ve linked this year’s design. I bought the circle bag two years ago but I really love the trendy top handle design of this version linked below! Here is the circle bag design in a tote size – a little more practical…
SHOP THE LOOK
Flutter sleeves are popular this summer and a cute way to add a feminine touch to your outfit – especially if you weren’t a big fan of the big crazy sleeve designs that were so hot the last couple of years. This knit version is just as comfy as your favorite tee shirt.
Don’t forget to check out how Melissa is styling her espadrilles today!

Today’s comment comes from Deborah from Brazil on the post Outfit Styling – Inspiration from Nature:
Great post to encourage use of colors inspired by nature’s variety. But what if one doesn’t feel bold enough on the art of combining and reaching harmony? I guess I always end up in the comfort zone of neutral (and safe) colors to wear like navy, white, grey, jeans…
Long distance hug,
Debora
I feel you, Debora! I gravitate towards neutrals as well. Try starting small by pairing blue jeans with a pastel green top (if it’s a color that suits you). Blush or pink is also a soft color that’s easier to wear. I’d start by adding a couple of classic cut tee shirts (low-cost investment) in a “new” color. This is an easy way to experiment and start pushing your fashion boundaries. Let me know how it goes!

PLEASE SHARE: Have you tried flutter sleeves yet this summer?
LOVE these sandals! The neutral color and wedge heel are so good and versatile!
Thanks Melissa, these sandals are so versatile and go with some many different outfits. I’m really glad I got them. I also got a quite a few responses when I posted them on IG when I was shopping. So I think they are quite popular.
Such a cute look! And I love the lavender in your tote! I’m growing some now and love cutting it and bringing it in for the fragrance!
Hi Cindi! How wonderful to have fresh flowers for your home. I love that. I’m not much of a gardener but I do have impatiences growing in pots by the front door. They are so easy to maintain! xo-S
