SUMMER DISTRESS

0

Posted by Melissa Carpenter | Posted in , | Posted on 4:31 PM

Now that it's summer I'm yearning for white hot denim. Cut offs, capris, skinnies, bells, I want 'em all. Since I don't wear much color, and my typical black pallet earns me questionable looks from San Diego barbies, it's officially time to trade it all in for an equally neutral, yet somehow more acceptable collection of whites.


Now it wouldn't be me if I couldn't add a hint of rocker edge to any of it, so I'll be ripping, tweezing and shredding my way through some new favorites. Adding your own wear and tear onto jeans is way easier than you think, pinky promise. Check out my tutorial on How to Shred Denim for a few trips, tricks, and tools to help the process along.

It must be the sorority girl in me to even follow Lilly Pulitzer, but how great is this tufted ottoman?! Pining for  the all white fabric, and lift the top to reveal the real treasure...shoe holders and room for any other accessories that might need hiding. #love

If you were lucky enough to discover H&M's Conscious Escape tent during downtime at Coachella, you were blessed with cool air, fresh water and a peek at H&M's Conscious Collection which became availble to the public April 14. The all white collection focuses on sustainability and the use of green materials like organic cotton, Tencel, and recycled polyester. Some of my favorite looks:

TRANSITIONAL INSPIRATIONS

I have a hard time with Spring, I'll admit it. As I get older (don't you hate that?), I continue to be drawn to clothes that say "dark and moody" rather than "floral and flirty." Finding looks that tranisition from Winter to Spring, especially now that we're in some sort of seasonal limbo, can just be a bitch.

As I'm feeling uninspired, I like to take a look around and see what everyone else is doing. Rather than copying (don't you hate that, too?), I try to translate the looks I like, with my own pieces and style quirks. These we♥it ones have definitely got me thinking!




1. Giving up my black jeans is a definite no-go, so I enjoy the first look, balanced with a white top and jacket. 2. Loving the textures of the ties below it- lace is always easy to funk up, and the creme color brings a softness to my otherwise edgy demeanor. 3. While I may not play much into florals, I am always down for a great animal or tribal print. Mixed with an airy or sheer fabric, these will be money with denim cutoffs, bike shorts and more.
