I recently realized that I hadn’t been really dressing for the Summer. I mostly wear jeans because I don’t feel comfortable showing my legs and I feel more cozy and secure in them (a comfort zone kind of thing) and I love wearing a sweater, a tee and some sneakers or boots… I’m more of a fall / winter kinda girl.
I was thinking a bit about this and came to the conclusion that seasons are there for a reason. They represent the literal transition of nature throughout the year, but they can also represent personal transitions. The thing is that, like every transition and change, it’s really up to you to take advantage and make the best of it or be stubborn and stick to your ways.
I decided to challenge myself and get a bit out of my comfort zone with my outfits (hey, every transition counts, right?). I started putting together outfits that could be more Summer «appropriate» and came up with this one that I really liked. I combined this button down shirt which, even though it’s long sleeve, it’s super fresh and light with a jean skirt, which is a basic piece that everyone should have in their closet because it goes with everything and it looks super cute. Last but not least, I added these espadrille sneakers that I’m literally obsessed with. I loved the combination of the blue shirt with the blue jean skirt, and then break it up a bit and keep it fresh with the white sneakers. I wanted to keep the bag very neutral without much color, so it wouldn’t be distracting.
What is your go-to outfit for the Summer and what is your favorite season to dress for??
Hace poco me di cuenta que no me visto muy veraniego. Suelo usar mucho jeans porque no me siento muy cómoda enseñando mis piernas y, porque en general, me siento más segura en ellos (una cosa de zona de comfort). También me gusta usar más suéteres, franelas y zapatos de gomas o botas… como que soy más de otoño e invierno que de verano.
Estuve pensando un poco sobre esto y llegué a la conclusión que las estaciones están allí por una razón. Representan transiciones literales de la naturaleza a través del año, pero también pueden representar transiciones y cambios personales. La cosa es, que como toda transición o cambio, está en ti aprovecharla y hacer lo mejor de ese momento o quedarte como estas.
Decidí retarme un poco a mí misma y salir un poco de mi zona de comfort en la manera en como me visto (epa, todo cambio cuenta, no?). Comencé a pensar en outfits que pudiesen ser más «apropiados» para el verano y se me ocurrió éste que me encantó. Combiné una camisa de botones, que aunque es manga larga, es muy fresca y ligera junto con una falda de jean, la cual es una pieza básica que todas deben tener en su closet porque pega con todo y es súper linda. Por último agregué mis zapatos de goma de espadrilla con los cuales estoy obsesionada. Amé la combinación de la camisa azul con la falda de jean azul y romper un poco el esquema con los zapatos blancos. Quise tambien mantener el color de la cartera neutro para que no fuese una distracción.
Cuál es tu outfit del verano y cuál es tu estación favorita para vestirte??

My knees actually saw daylight for the first time in ages as it was incredibly hot here in the UK. My go-to is a tea dress with flat pumps. Currently so cold that I’m back in leggings and a big jumper!
