Staying Neutral






 Top: Michael Kors (Similar-LO, Similar-MID, Similar-HI )
Skirt: Sugarlips via Macy's (Similar-LO, Similar-MID, Similar-HI)
Shoes: Jimmy Choo (Love These!, Similar-HI)
Bag: Fendi
Bracelets: Banana Republic
Necklace: Betsey Johnson








Hey Lovelies.

The days are scorching hot in Miami.  So coming up with innovative ways to stay cool is a top priority for me. In my experience, nothing beats the heat like skirts and dresses in light fabrics. Ventilation is key. No matter how short the shorts or cropped the top, if the material clings to your body or doesn't allow for proper ventilation, you will be sweaty in no time. Opting for roomier items in lighter fabrics are a sure-fire way to look cool even when it's hot.

In my opinion, this Michael Kors mesh top is the perfect top for summer. It is an amazingly versatile piece. I actually wore it as a cover-up while on the beach and then added the skirt and heels for a quick change-up for dinner afterwards.

  12. cute outfit... I recently got a top which looks very similar to yours from H&M but I grabbed it in my size, seeing how the loose fit looks maybe I can exchange it for a way bigger size
