Anyone who says you can't bike in a skirt is a liar
I'm home for
This weekend was absolutely lovely, and on Sunday (when I took these pics) I spent the whole day outside, reading my new book and hopefully getting a tan! It was one of those days when I wore a swimsuit all day long, which is the number one sign that your summer is going well.
Of course, as lovely as my hometown is, they still don't appreciate people walking into shops with nothing but a swimsuit and flip flops on, so I constructed a cute cover-up with an old button-down top from Anthropologie and a flowy skirt from Urban Outfitters. One of my favorite summer styling tricks is to tie a button-down top at the waist when paired with a high-waisted skirt for a flirty look. Besides, I was wearing an adorable itsy bitsy teeny weeny (blue) polka dot bikini from J. Crew and wanted to show it off, so I let a bit of it peek out.
Swipe a red lip on and you immediately look 129% more put-together. Plus, I love how the red lip combined with the tied shirt gave my look a retro 50s vibe!
Anyways, here's the whole outfit, and below, how to get the look for yourself!
Wearing:
Holding Horses blouse (similar)
Silence + Noise skirt (similar)
Madewell sandals and sunglasses
Kate Spade purse (similar)
J. Crew swimsuit (similar)

Lol, I biked to school every day since the 2nd grade so I've had lots of practice! Thanks for reading, Tamara!
DeleteThis is such a great summer ensemble. Love your slides (I have the same ones) and bag. Adorable photos,and you make it look easy on the bike there, but I have a feeling I'd loose my shoe and fall of. LOL!

Thank you, Gina! The slides are so perfect and easy for summer, literally slip 'em on and go! I haven't had any problems biking with them, but I have had the shoelaces of my Converse sneakers get caught up on the pedals before!
DeleteYou look so cute! I really like how you've tied the shirt of the bikini- such a great look for Summery beach days. If only I could look this great on a bike- in Australia it's the law to wear a helmet

Thank you, Rachel! We have to wear helmets until we're 18 in California, but after that it's free-flowing hair in the wind! lol
