Today I’m wearing puff sleeves and stripes: The Perfect Summer Combo. These wide leg cropped pants are the exact same pants that I wore here. I proclaimed those black pants to be the perfect pants for summer. I love them! Which I why I decided to try a bolder printed take on this style. The peach and pink color stripes are just right for the season and just right with my favorite pink wedges!

Puff Sleeves and Stripes for the Win
This white puff sleeve knit top mixes classic and trendy. I received it last year as a gift from my sister and I was so happy to pull it out and pair it with these trousers. Both pieces work well for spring and summer because they both are extremely lightweight. The pants are linen which is why they are so lightweight but there is the struggle with the wrinkle factor. This is the reason why I didn’t keep them. I try to stay away from the fuss of linen.
I added the belt to the outfit because it felt like it was missing something without it. It brings the top and bottoms seamlessly together. Don’t you think?

I will be playing my flute in a local benefit concert for an incredible woman on Sunday, June 11. All the details are above on the flyer. I don’t know her personally but have heard about what an amazing women and teacher she is. So glad I can help a person in need. I will be performing the 1st and 2nd movements of Taktakvishilli’s Sonata for Flute and Piano. Would love to see you there if you are in the area!
Have a fantastic week and holiday weekend my friends! XO
