I have to admit, my casual wardrobe lacks a bit as I usually focus on buying "work" clothes. Also, I've always struggled with summer-time outfits given my love of layering and the hot temps. So, when I spied this outfit in July's issue of InStyle I made a mental note of it for when I needed a casual yet chic out. Well, today my mom and I were headed out shopping so it seemed the perfect time to put my spin on this look.
And here it is! I didn't wear a straw fedora and I carried my usual LV Neverfull MM Purse, but other than that I had similar items.
Blue Oxford - Old Navy, clearance for $10 (Fall 2008)
Scarf - won from the fabulous Sara of Unwrap Life and xoxo Closet Girl
White Pants - JC Penney, sale for $18 (Spring 2008)
Belt - Target, clearance for $4 (2008)
Sandals - Target, $25 (Spring 2009)

LOVE it! I'm saving this pic because it's one amazing outfit that inspires much from me...
Love it, really like that blue with the white pants, very crisp. I love scarves but always worry that they are too hot in the summer! Looks so cute I may try though!
Beautiful crisp, fresh summer outfit! That is a beautiful scarf!!
I like this look on you. Casual and chic.
Love this one! Very crisp and summery. And those sandals are fabulous!

Kimberly -- been reading your blog for awhile, but this is my first time commenting. I just wanted to say that I love your style! Love your shoes, jewelry and everything else. You dress the way I would like to but don't have the confidence to since I have gained weight. I have tried to broaden my horizons, however, since discovering your blog. Between your fashion advice and the advice of a good friend who is honest with me about my clothes, I am adding colors other than black to my wardrobe and am trying a scarf every so often. Keep up the good work and I will keep reading!
Love it! I need to start interpreting magazine ideas more...
saw this in the magazine and was drawn to it as well!
You did a great job on getting the same feel as the inspiration outfit! Very chic, casual and summery.
What a fantastic casual look -- very polished and yet relaxed. By the way, I'm wearing the traveling scarf today -- post coming soon!
