PALAZZO

It feels good to own not one but two pairs of Palazzo pants, one black and pleated, the other red and transparent. I initially wanted to wear these guys with platform boots and a turban, but as soon as I recognized the irresistible matchability of this homemade bandeau top, burgundy floppy hat, and silk robe, the present outfit was decided, case closed, typed into a text file where I document all future ensembles in caps lock and control-s'd. For the record, keyboard shortcuts serve as fun verbs in casual conversation. Summertime is 50% about paying homage to our parents' hippie hayday with flower crowns and kimonos and 50% about looking like we're jetting off to a swanky Abu Dhabi resort in t minus 4 hours. Yacht wear with an eastern flair.






FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:
Floppy hat - Forever 21
Sunglasses - House of Harlow, Karmaloop
Silk robe - Secondhand
Bandeau top - Vintage scarf, vintage clip
Pants - SHEINSIDE
Sandals - O'Neill

What an incredibly practical pair of sandals those are... O'Neill sent them to me last summer along with a backpack and swimsuit, and it's crazy to think that it's taken me so long to officially introduce you to them! I've said before that as a general rule, flat sandals are a no-no for me because they can make an outfit look irredeemably conventional. But in the right context, gladiator sandals can actually lend an outfit the premise for an incredible theme! I think in this look, my outfit would be lost without them. I need something open toed, beachy, and Grecian to establish that I'm going for an exotic resort guise. 


Everything is infinite,

  19. Good idea with the DIY bandeau - it's such a simple but effective idea that just didn't seem to hit me. It's a little weird seeing you take photos outside of the couch/room bg but you still look damn fab. I always like your retro glam inspired outfits the best :)
