Summer Serpent Lady

Snake printed pants are definitely nothing new for me. Unlike my faux leather snake pants, these cropped pants are made of fabric and way more comfortable for the middle of summer.

A plain black camisole from AllSaints keeps me cool (and shows of my tattoos) and lets my pants be the main focal point of the outfit. Speaking of pants, I’m wearing the Marlon pant from Reformation. While this style is sold out on their site, I found a few for sale on Poshmark here, here and here. Also, they do have the Veda 5 Pocket Leather Pant, which is basically the same style but in leather.

My shoes are the Elegant Studded Western Boots from Givenchy. My bag is the Barbara bag from The Kooples. My lipstick (that I’m currently obsessed with) is the Hot Lips 2 Lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury in the shade “JK Magic”. It’s like my natural lip color, but better.

Summer Jumpsuit

I will definitely pick a jumpsuit over a dress any time. To me, they’re just as easy to wear as a dress, but I don’t have to worry about crossing my legs when I sit down. Not only does this jumpsuit have a 70s-inspired design, it’s also denim, which is easy to clean and wear. In the summer I can wear it as is, and in the fall I can pop a cute white button up underneath it for a bit more coverage.

My sunglasses are my trusty Lily sunglasses by Saint Laurent. Since they’re made of acetate and don’t have any metal accents on them, I don’t have to worry about wearing gold vs silver when I wear them. My jumpsuit is the Doozy Halter Jumpsuit from Mother Denim. Side note: this jumpsuit comes in black, blue, and a 70s-inspired chain print and I am seriously considering getting all three.

I’m rocking the Striped Rey Bag from Staud that features an ombre quilted suede design. It’s definitely very 70s inspired, but the quilting is very on-trend right now. My shoes are the Freya mules from Dolce Vita.

Black + Nude

Black and nude is probably one of my favorite color combinations. It’s clean, it’s simple, and you can do whatever you want with it. Mixing a simple black and nude look with some chunky sterling silver jewelry and leather accessories gives a normally sophisticated outfit some edge.

My Archer Cropped Cami from Alice + Olivia is definitely a summer staple of mine. Another summer staple is linen. The Elyse Trouser from Anine Bing is the perfect cropped high-waisted linen pant that’s breezy and casual.

My leather accessories include a leather cap and the medium Barbara Bag from The Kooples, leather strappy heels, and the Signature Choker from Zana Bayne (vegan leather options are available). I also wore my favorite chunky silver jewelry including the Engraved Dagger Pendant from The Great Frog.
