The Outfit I Didn’t Overthink—And Loved Anyway
On Friday, right before the weekend kicked off, I got a fresh haircut—and of course, I had to wear something that felt just as fresh. The outfit I threw on was simple but put together: crisp white shorts, a soft striped cashmere sweater, and my go-to Birks.

To give the look a touch of summer beauty, I added sparkly coral-orange hoop earrings. They added that pop of color that says resort vibes, like I could be heading to a breezy bay cruise or a sun-drenched beach lunch.

As easy as this outfit was, I loved wearing it. I didn’t overthink it, but I’d wear it again in a heartbeat. It checked all my usual boxes:
Cozy? Check—thank you, cashmere.
Summer-ready? Absolutely. Ideal for those cooler days or when you know you’ll be in air conditioning all day.
Balanced? Totally. The white shorts felt luxe and clean thanks to their crisp color, but the denim texture kept things grounded and casual.
And those earrings? Pure joy. They made me feel like I was on vacation, even if I was just running errands post-haircut. Sometimes, the best outfits are the ones you don’t plan too hard—they just work.
On a lifestyle note...
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how to decorate my new house—specifically, what kind of wall art I want. I’m really drawn to a boho beach vibe, but at the same time, I already have a lot of classic, timeless pieces. So now I’m in that fun (and slightly tricky) phase of trying to figure out how to marry those two aesthetics.
One thing that’s helping? Air plants. They strike such a nice balance between organic and sculptural, which works surprisingly well with antique-style décor. Also, I have this gorgeous jade tea set that’s quickly becoming my new favorite color moment. It brings a rich, earthy green into the mix that feels fresh but grounded—exactly the mood I want in my space.
Below are some pieces of wall art I’ve been eyeing on Etsy. Would love to hear what you think! All links are to Etsy shops. I love to support Etsy sellers.
