Scaling Back

Grey Swing Dress

Of all the directions that my personal style has been headed lately, I feel a particular pull towards scaling back.  I’m completely drawn to uncomplicated outfits like this grey swing dress, a simple chevron necklace and my favorite tasseled bucket bag.

Casual and Comfortable Summer Dress

Don’t get me wrong, I will always be a sucker for neon skirts and pretty prints, but sometimes, it just feels good to simplify because then it makes those show-stopping numbers feel even more special.  What’s your style strategy this summer?
