summer unstructured

 

Summertime and the living isn't always so easy! My therapist reminded me yesterday that unstructured time can feel like batting curveballs all day long, especially with kids who use every minute to exploit their fleeting autonomy (and break their nose while doing it!). But there also many upsides, of course, specifically in the getting-dressed department: the suitably unstructured pieces that I can wear wherever and whenever I want. Thankfully, there's a world wide web full of compelling options but the ones I like most transition seamlessly into more structured fall. Take, for example, the head-to-toe Mango look, above, with the excellent cobalt blue shirt leading the charge, and the flowy red H&M, and ruffled Doen, below. Also ready to roll in this one-shouldered Asos and this English Factory striped slip.
