After a 10 day trip to Taipei, I’m back in the United States! Last week was fueled by sunny days, making too many excuses to eat ice cream, and of course, Beyoncé’s Lemonade.
With Beyoncé’s lyrics ringing in my ears and a new sense of empowerment, I went shopping. Okay, I can’t really give all the credit to her since I’m always shopping. But I was feeling exceptionally flawless, empowered, fearless…all the feels Beyoncé brings.
This spring, we experienced sun in Seattle, but last week we experienced heat. Not 70 degree warmth, but 85 degree heat. Instead of wearing pants while driving through traffic telling cars to “get in formation,” I wore shorts.
I constantly wear these shorts in the summer – the elastic waistband is everything! You can have your Red Lobster and eat it too. These shorts are comfortable and look more formal than they feel. It’s like walking around in athletic shorts and looking fashionable. That is tough to beat. Don’t worry lace shorts, they don’t love you like I love you.
Now onto the purchase I made during my Beyoncé high…this blush, nearly nude jacket. You guys, I’m obsessed with this jacket and for good reason. First, the cropped arms and light material are great for keeping cool during spring. Second, the color is feminine but can easily compliment both a girly or edgy look. Third, it was $49 from Zara! This jacket will make you feel fierce and feminine…watch out, don’t hurt yourself.
Light, indoor jackets are an amazing investment for your wardrobe because they can be worn in so many outfits, seasons, and occasions. Stylish jackets can easily be reworked with skirts, dresses, rompers, or pants while you grind from Monday to Friday and work from Friday to Sunday.
Now that you have the basics of a great summer outfit, it’s time to accessorize! Sunglasses and a great crossbody are summer necessities – effortless, stylish, and 100% functional.
My confidence, inspiration, and power this week came from a perfect concoction of Beyoncé and my love of fashion. Call it, pink lemonade.
