Wish List Wednesday: Straw Items

In yesterday’s post, Black Jumpsuit, I offered some style tips and advice to help you transform your dark pieces into summertime favorites. Incorporating straw accessories into your ensemble was one of them. Today’s wishlist consist of a few straw items…surprise surprise!

The Maris flat by Sam Edelman is drool worthy. The 1/4 inch espadrille heel is just enough to appease the regular high-heel wearer while the beaded front creates a gorgeous boho touch. My favorite color combo is “saddle” – you know my theory about cognac (it matches with black and brown!). If the pink and yellow beads scare you, check out the navy or rose gold pair.

I am absolutely bananas for this clutch. LOL! This bag by KAYU will undoubtedly add personality and funk to your summertime attire. The natural straw hue makes for easy matching and the yellow embroidery is too cute for words. When you’re not toting in hand, attach the dainty gold strap for easy hands-free carrying.

If you’re a heavy Instagram user, chances are high that you have noticed some of your fav fashionistas rocking straw hats with cursive writing. These adorable warm weather accessories were first introduced by high end designer Eugenia Kim. Introducing this look for less on Etsy! Design your own straw hat with unique phrase or writing for a fraction of the cost.

Festival season is quickly approaching and there is no better time to start collecting your festival must-haves. This week as I played around with the latest inventory at Liv Fashion Boutique, a pair of wide leg pants caught my eye. If you’ve signed yourself up to stand around all day in the sun, then you might as well be comfortable and cool while you’re doing it! Invest in a pair of light weight wide-leg pants. There is nothing worse than a pair of shorts that ride up every step you take. A well-fitting pair of pants will stay in place, and if they are palazzos, they won’t stick to you either. In the ensemble below, I styled these pants with a black racerback tank and an open front chiffon cardigan. I always like to have a little something over my shoulders in case it is breezy. I accessorized with a mini cognac purse (who wants to schlep around with a large bag when you can squeeze your essentials into a smaller one) and a matching orange and navy pendant necklace. The second look is my favorite. Up until now, this burnt orange fringe vest hung in my closet, with the tags still attached, for at least two years. I got really excited when I realized it would match these pants. Anyway, rather than throwing on a simple v-neck t-shirt to go with it, I wanted to try something different. At first contemplating over a chambray or white button up, I decided on a sleeveless tuxedo shirt – also several years old. Boy am I glad I held onto these pieces for so long. By incorporating the collared shirt and a straw hat I was able to add a touch of sophistication to this bohemian look.
