Eddie and I capped off our Labor Day weekend by throwing a BBQ get
together for a bunch of high school buddies. We decided to grill our
usual go-to favorite...carne asada because you can never really go wrong with
some carne asada, guacamole, chips, and salsa! We spent the day playing
Cards Against Humanity (which is like an inappropriate version of Apples
to Apples lol), eating and drinking, swimming, hot tubbing, and eating
some more. It was the perfect ending to a perfect weekend with my love.
I
wore the newest addition to my closet...this amazing One Teaspoon
blazer (thanks to my amazingly generous aunt). I am so obsessed with
it!!! The colors, the prints, the cut...it's all just so so so gorgeous!
I've only had it for a few days but I know I'm going to be prancing
around town in this piece quite often! It's just such a versatile piece
that can either be dressed up or down. I decided to keep my look pretty
casual for the BBQ with a simple white silk tank top, cutoff denim
shorts, the blazer, and some beige colored peep-toe booties. I guess the
heels and the silk weren't the most casual but it was meant to be a laid
back look.
I capped off my outfit with a leather baseball cap, which has been a favorite accessory of mine lately. Not only does it just look cute with everything, it also provides shade for my face. It's a total win win for me. Below are some tips for buying and wearing this leather cap trend.
Tips:
1) Buy a solid colored leather cap because they're easy to incorporate into any outfit. They add an instant touch of chicness and sleekness to any look. Note: I personally like solid accessories because I'm not really a pro at mixing prints. But if you are, by all means go crazy with printed and embellished caps!
2) You can style it with something feminine like a short dress or miniskirt to contrast the sweetness with some edge.
3) You can cap off your
casual t-shirt and jeans and instantly create a chic look. I personally like to add heels to most of my outfits (unless I'm running around all day) so when my clothes are more casual, I counter it with lots of accessories like layers of jewelry and heels.
