Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you had a restful weekend. I spent the weekend catching up on work, but I did get a chance to catch the new Downton Abbey movie. Highly recommended. Although not world-changing, it was such a cute movie. A very tight story, arguably better than the first. Definitely check it out.
I've got a quintessential Summer post today. I'm talking all things summer tanks---probably the hardest working item I have in my Summer wardrobe. I'm featuring a linen tank from Banana today. But I've also reached into the archives to show you a bunch of different ways I've styled a tank over the years.
The Summary
Today's featured item is a linen tank from Banana Republic
The tank is modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

I've pulled together several ways in which I've worn a tank in the past
The Hardest Working Item In My Summer Wardrobe
1. Linen Tank
(Banana Republic)
The tank top is probably the hardest working item in my Summer wardrobe. I wear them all the time---with pants, shorts, jeans, and skirts. I wear them alone, or I'll layer them under a cardigan or light-weight jacket.
Today, I'm featuring a linen tank from Banana Republic. It comes in five different colors. I wanted an understated look today and went with beige. I paired it with a pair of white chinos, also from Banana Republic. They come in come in regular and petite and short, regular and long.

3. The Barrel Pant
(Banana Republic)
I'm absolutely loving this belt bag from Banana Republic. Quite the talk of the town---my oldest absolutely loves it. It's striking enough to add visual interest to any outfit this summer. Highly recommended.

How I've Worn It In The Past

Yesterday, we talked about 5 colors in for Summer 2022 and different ways to style each. Click the title or image below to read the article.
Hello! Today we are taking a stroll through the Georgia State Botanical Gardens. It’s a beautiful spot here in Athens, and the weather is perfect for an afternoon walk through the flowers and trees. A walk outdoors means I'm going with a relaxed put-together look today.
The Summary
Today's featured item is a pair of boyfriend chinos from J.Crew for a relaxed put-together look
The pants are modeled, and Kelly pulled together 2 alternates

Relaxed Put-Together Look
1. Boyfriend Chino Pants
(J.Crew)
As the temperatures begin to heat up, my jeans start to find their way to the back of my closet, while lightweight chinos and linen pants move to the front. Today’s post focuses on the Boyfriend-fit Chino Pant; a new chino fit from J.Crew. These pants have a lower rise and an overall looser fit for cool comfort.
The waistline of the Boyfriend Chino Pant hits just at the hip, so it’s a refreshing change from the high-waisted pants that have ruled for the past couple years. Slouchy, with a relaxed fit; the light cotton chino fabric is soft yet these pants hold their shape well and still look fresh after hours of walking around in the heat. I am wearing The Boyfriend Chino Pant in a Petite 25.

2. Denim Chambray Shirt
(J.Crew)
On warmer days, I love to use a chambray button up as a second layer instead of a light jacket or sweater. A chambray shirt will go with all kinds of outfits and they’re lighter to carry around than a denim jacket.

3. Cotton Tank Top
(J.Crew)
Today’s outfit is all about comfortable, casual style. This simple cotton tank from J.Crew is sold as a cropped tank top. I wanted to avoid too much of a “crop top” look, so I sized up one size from my usual regular size xs, to a small. The length hits right at my hip, so no crop happening, but it does it at just the right spot so I don’t need to tuck it in.

4. Top Handle Tote Bag
(J.McLaughlin)
This Fiona Top Handle Tote Bag from J.Mclaughlin is great to carry along for a shopping trip, or a walk around the Georgia State Botanical Gardens. The shoulder/crossbody strap makes it easy to go hands free. And the bag is roomy enough to carry my essentials, along with my denim shirt when it got too hot to wear it.
I love the bamboo top handle on this bag and I also love the camera strap-style removable strap. Camera-strap straps are definitely on-trend this year; I see so many bags with removable straps in fun patterns and colors that contrast with the bag itself. It’s a fun way to add a color contrasting color pop, or to color coordinate with an outfit.

5. Boardwalk Fisherman Slide Sandal
(Madewell)
Fisherman sandals are everywhere this summer. Madewell has several cute versions. This Boardwalk version is a flat slide with a padded sole, which makes them super comfortable and easy to wear all day long.
I am wearing the English Saddle color, which Madewell does a lot of – so they coordinate really well with their bags and belts. The sandal also comes in Ashen Sand and Black. I am tempted to buy the other two colors! They are really cute, versatile, comfortable sandals that will get a lot of wear this summer.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, see you again next week!
