My personal style is constantly evolving. Winter months have me clinging to minimalist style staples with the hopes of simply staying warm through the frigid NYC temps. But come spring and summer, I immediately whip out the brightest of colorways and splashy prints.
They say to dress for the life you want to have, and I want mine to be fun, so join me in pressing pause on the elevated minimalist aesthetic that's taken hold on your Pinterest board, and try something different. The below pieces are so good that even people famous for their minimalist aesthetic—think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Matilda Djerf—would spend a day as a maximalist just to wear them.
It's going to be a fruity summer.
Turning up the AC just so I can wear this cardi.
This Loewe skirt has had a hold on me since I saw it prance down the runway.
But I also like to shop for my sequin skirts on a budget.
I'm here for this sustainable tee and its sustainable message.
I've tried these myself, and they won my approval.
Camo comeback.
I have a hot-pink midi skirt that I've been living in, so I'm telling all of my friends to buy this one.
I also own this dress, and it's a vibe.
Okay, one more thing that I own but can't stop obsessing over are these bold shoes.
If you're scared of color, try sneaking in this tank with a white button-down shirt and blue jeans.
She's so pretty.
Wear your greens.
Another great option for those who are just now introducing color pairings to their wardrobe is a headscarf. It's a low-commitment opportunity to wear something in a different way.
Tie me up.
So sexy.
We love a pair of pants you can lounge in but also wear on a night out.
Orange holds the key to my heart.
This is what I meant when I said I love my prints.
Just add white jeans.
Crochet all day.
You'll get a million wears out of this come summer.
Wedge sandals are having their moment right now.
Lingerie worth wearing out of the house.
Pool days galore.
I just bought this shirt, and I'm obsessed.
I need a set like this.
This will accentuate your bust perfectly.
Rope everything.
Transport me to the beach ASAP.
