RUFFLES AND BOWS IN HARVARD SQUARE

/
Ruffles and Bows
It’s hard to believe that August is only 4 days away. Summer is almost over – what! So, bring on all the ruffles, bare legs and toes, and short sleeves – because a new season is rolling our way very, VERY soon. I’m definitely planning on transitioning most of my summer pieces into Fall though so it’s not the end for these darling ruffles. Also, scroll down to read about a new jewelry brand I love and get 20% off your entire order with my discount code below. 

I’ve been stocking up on a little more black lately since the color pairs is so well with more statement or printed pieces. This ruffle top is now only $10 and can easily be styled with shorts or a denim skirt for now and jeans as the temps start to Fall. It comes in a slew of colors so check it out! Black is currently the only color still available in XS (the size I’m wearing). I also plan to layer it over a printed turtleneck in the Fall to get more use out of it and create a textured look.

My wrap ruffle skirt is on repeat because I really love this style. It’s so feminine and effortless. I also love and have this ruffle skirt in green and it’s now on sale for under $30. You might have caught it on my Instagram – it also comes in pale pink, the color everyone loves right now. And this one in mustard is so good too!

I don’t really wear a ton of jewelry. I’ll typically buy no more than 3 or 4 pieces per season and this summer, these earrings have made the cut. They’re from Retro Mas, a brand that’s new to me but so glad I discovered them because they have the cutest earrings which also happen to be great quality and affordable. Most of the pieces are under $40 and you can get an additional 20% off your entire order with the code “Trina”. Shipping and returns are free in the United States so there’s no downside to trying! Mine are called the Cassy and are such a great statement while not being loud – a difficult to find combination. I also love that these are hand-made and extremely light-weight despite being big.  I’m currently eyeing the Blair earrings with the chain detail and the gorgeous turquoise Dali wood studs.

Bow sandals – would summer be summer without them? Every girl needs a pair and the ones from this brand are mega affordable. I’m always skeptical of footwear at this price-point and wanted to test drive these before recommending, and… I’m happy to report that these hold up. My exact pair are sold out but I found a close dupe for under $30 that comes in both black and a super cute gray crushed velvet. Also, completely out of my budget, but how gorgeous are these pale pink crushed velvet pair!! Last but not least, these bow heels are under $90 and suuuper cute!

I love this little leather studded bucket bag and have been wearing it out a lot. Come Fall, I’m pulling out the cross-body strap and slinging it over my coat. It’s under $100 and if you want more details on it you can read a review in this post. Happy weekend! xo
