Happy 4th of July, fellow Americans! Hope you’re celebrating today with hot dogs, sangria, and a few sparklers.
A hot pink silk blouse is normally as girly as it gets, but things get a little androgynous when paired with a pair of much-loved (read: worn constantly) slouchy khakis and snakeskin gladiator flats. And that’s a good thing. Mix it up by matching pieces you’ve never worn together. It really stretches your wardrobe, I promise.
Went a different route than my usual and buttoned the shirt all the way up to wear the statement necklace on the outside. Crisp, fresh, and not quite as laid-back. Cuffed the sleeves (because I cuff literally everything; my forearms are never fully-clothed) and added a great shell bracelet I scored last year in Jamaica.
Enjoy the fireworks, dolls!
Gorgeous color on you! Happy 4th of July!
Happy Fourth!
You look so pretty in this color, and I love the way the blouse is really feminine but the trousers are more for the boys- great look!

You never fail to amaze me with the way you switch your wardrobe up! Hope you have a great holiday, Ash!
Thanks, Jaime! Gotta mix it up, keep it fresh. 🙂

That necklace is to die for! I love Bauble Bar so much- you’re working the brand proud. 🙂
I love hot pink! Such a fun color.

Seriously, if that’s not HOT PINK, I don’t know what is. 🙂 Happy 4th!

Happy Independence Day! 🙂
Pretty color.

I love this bright pink shirt, and your lips match perfectly! I almost always cuff/roll/bunch my sleeves because I’ve got long monkey arms anyway haha.
Haha, you don’t have monkey arms! And everything just always feels a little more lived-in when I bunch/cuff the sleeves. 🙂
After seeing these pants pop up on your blog, I think I need to get some boyfriend trousers!
Looking good, darlin’!
Love the bright pink blouse. It goes perfectly with the turquoise necklace!
