Scrolling through 's feed this morning made me feel like I was standing on the corner of Via Montenapoleone in Milan, sipping an espresso. What caught my eye were the local women commuting around town riding bikes in skirts. And heels. Toting beautiful bags. The bikes didn't dictate the outfits. If anything, they seemed to function as just another chic accessory. There is something distinctly European about that approach. They seem to dress for how they want to show up in the world, not merely for the logistics of getting around it. A good reminder as summer gets underway: the best running-around clothes aren't necessarily the most basic ones. Inspired, I’ll be adding the following to my on-the-go routine: these sandals, this for extra style (see this ), this (bring on Chanel resort vibes), these , these linen pants, this vintage linen , thist, this -esque top, and this mini that will seamlessly go from my bike basket to the palm of my hand.
