Here’s how I’m doing it. First of all, you should know that I choose my clothing based on two factors:
1) Ease of wear — If it’s not comfortable, I don’t care how great it looks. Also, if an item of clothing won’t allow me to be a little bit of a chameleon in this big, diverse city, it’s just not for me.
2) Quirkiness — I like good, quality classics, but if there isn’t something a little bit original or “off” about an item, I’m not going to be in looooove with it.
Using this rough rubric, I created an easy summer look inspired by the ultimate American Icon, Wonder Woman. And I think she should really be everyone’s summer style icon — not just mine! — because her outfit is a perfect marriage of personality, practicality and glamour. What I’m saying is, the lady kicks butt, looks awesome and doesn’t even have to get sweaty.
To emulate her look, I started with a pair of classically tailored navy-and-white Striped Shorts from INC International Concepts, only at Macy’s. I styled them with a Long-Sleeve Sequined Stars Top, emblazoned with big patriotic stars (Fourth of July is coming up!). To complete the look, I chose a pair of strappy Women’s Mistye2 Flat Sandals (in red) and a chunky Gold-Tone Rectangle Stretch Bracelet to match Wonder Woman’s amazing arm cuffs.
Ta da! Here’s a season-appropriate outfit that’s 1) ridiculously comfortable and versatile, 2) modern and stylish, and 3) channels a classic female superhero. #SummerForever. See you at the barbecue!
