1. Boyfriend Jeans

Looove a good boyfriend jean, and I finally found the perfect pair! Since they are a looser fit, the slide slims everything down and is more appealing on the eye.

2. Slip Dress

Slip dresses are the new easy, breezy, go-to look. They're sexy, easy and interchangeable by wearing a tee underneath, throwing a jacket on top or switching out the style of shoes! During the day, instead of a heeled sandal, pair with a slide! It will give you that casual, chic look you've been looking for!

4. Shorts & Chunky Sweater

This is how you transition your slides into the warmer weather! Swap out your leather and suede ones for a lighter fabric.

If you aren't a heel person then this would be a great office or interview look! It's professional yet trendy! 




Btw, I'm OBSESSED with my new pom pom slides from Frances Valentine; they're perfect for a super casual outfit or even a fancy evening look. I recently listened to a podcast on NPR called "How I Built This" with the founders of Frances Valentine and guess who they are? Kate Spade and Andy Spade! Yup, their story is super interesting. I definitely suggest listening to the podcast or you can read more about the new line and their evolution in this WWD article.
