Okay, so I’ve been seeing “summer street style” inspo everywhere lately, and I finally decided to give it a shot. Let me tell you, it was a journey!
The Initial Spark (and Overwhelm)
I started by, you know, aimlessly scrolling through photos. Seriously, I spent like, an hour just looking at pictures of people looking effortlessly cool. I wanted to be that effortlessly cool, so it started.
Gathering the Pieces
First, I raided my closet. I mean, really raided it. Clothes were flying everywhere. I was looking for anything that screamed “summer” and “not trying too hard.”
- Found: A flowy white top I’d forgotten about. Score!
- Found: My favorite pair of ripped jeans. Always a good start.
- Found: Some colorful, strappy sandals I bought on a whim last year. Perfect!
- Found: A total mess. Clothes mountain.
The First Attempt (and the Near-Disaster)
I threw on the top, the jeans, and the sandals. Okay, not bad, but something was missing. It looked…blah. Too basic. I needed some * I grabbed the hat and try again.
Accessorizing is Key!
I remembered seeing a lot of people rocking funky jewelry and cool sunglasses in those inspiration pics. So I dug through my jewelry box and found some chunky necklaces and a pair of oversized sunglasses.
I even went all and add my favorite sun hat. It’s game-changing!
The Final Look
I put it all together, took a look in the mirror, and… I actually liked it! It felt summery, a little bit edgy, and definitely not like I’d spent an hour agonizing over it. I added a bright crossbody bag to finish off, to complete the look, I took a bunch of pictures.
The Street Test
Time for the real test: going outside. I walked to my favorite coffee shop, feeling pretty confident. And you know what? I got a few compliments! It felt good to step outside my usual style comfort zone.
So, that’s my summer street style experiment. It was a bit chaotic, a little bit stressful, but ultimately, a lot of fun. Might even try it again next weekend!
