Burnt and still fabulous

May 25, 2017
Summer is the time to flaunt your best assets—the ones you’ve been hiding all winter under layers of clothes. Besides hot weather driving me to wear more revealing clothing, I also love showing off my legs, especially when they’re tan! (My shins are burned in this shoot because I overdid it on the beach in Miami last month.) But these Forever 21 shorts have remained a staple in my summer wardrobe for almost two years! They’re hip huggers with an elastic waist band and draw strings, making them comfy for more casual summer days.

Free People has always been one of my favorite brands, but I especially like this semi-sheer, long-sleeve top. Free People calls it the Bae Bae Layering Top; you can find it on sale here. The neutral and feminine color combined with the plunging neckline has made it one of my favorite shirts to wear lately.
