days of summer

I've been thinking a lot about summer goals lately. As lame as being unemployed is, it has been giving me lots of time to think and work stuff out in my head. The most important goal I've made? My friend and I decided we want to be Zooey Deschanel this summer.

My interpretation of that? A girly print, a few bright solids, and simple + fun jewelry.
Alex Monroe earrings, Bauble Bar bangle and cuff, Dorothy Perkins dress, Chloe crossbody, Essie Mojito Madness, Madewell skimmers

I could come up with all sorts of combinations that say "Jess Day," Zooey's character on that one show. Flirty mini-skirts with classic button-ups, mod shift dresses in unique colors, unexpected print mixing--nothing seems too far out for the stylist on this show.

This summer goal shouldn't be hard to accomplish. I already have a zillion skirts bookmarked specifically to achieve this look.


And apparently all in the same color palette, too...

P.S. For those asking, my loafers in Friday's post are from Gap.

  9. I'm kind of a New Girl addict. And by "kind of," I mean it's pretty bad how much I love it. I'm jumping on board with your summer goal!

  14. I like that your goal is to be ZD this summer. Funny. Now I'm going to picture you in your pajamas and lipstick dancing around your house and waiting for tomato soup to come! I'm also loving those short pleated skirts. So cute!

  20. Summer reminded me of myself in a way, I love her love of dresses. I usually like to wear a dress everyday. Great picks, I could definitely see her wearing that set.
