Embroidered

I've barely worn these sandals since I bought them last spring, but they're getting good use this summer!

I love a good bohemian top for the summer, which I'm sure I've repeated over and over again. My summer and winter styles tend to be very different. In the summer I'm all for that Californian cool vibe, and during those cold Canadian winters I aim to be European chic (simple with smooth, clean lines).

As you can probably tell, I re-wear a lot of the clothes in my wardrobe, considering I'm a student and am 1. poor,  2. saving for travel and 2. saving to buy designer purses on said travels and can therefore no longer shop. I think it's important to invest in pieces you love and will wear over and over again (whether they be basic wardrobe building pieces such as the perfect tee or designer jeans, or trendier items such as this embroidered top). I hate clothes that I can only wear once (BCBG grad dress I am looking at you). I love this top with both my high waisted denim cutoffs for a festival look, as well as these khaki green shorts and cage sandals for a walk around town or for brunch.
