Sunset Ombre

It was too hot to wear anything prim, proper and all buttoned up so I opted for light, loose clothing. These Madewell sweats are one of my favorite things in my closet - love them paired with a perfect simple black pump! Usually I wear them with my pointy-toed stilettos but those are currently still in need of some major sand-draining (don't ask). PS - really starting to love the way my ombre is growing out, I just may have to cancel my hair appt!

xo.
