Outfit of the Week: Lovely in Lavender! How to Wear Colored Skinny Jeans for Summer

The weather is really starting to warm up, but it’s not time to push all your jeans to the back of the closet yet! For this week’s Outfit of the Week, I styled my lovely friend Kim with our new Flying Monkey skinnies in lavender.

Flying Monkey Skinny Jeans White Lace Top Black Cork Wedges

Colored denim makes rocking skinnies in the summer months look a little fresher, especially with lighter hues like this lavender. Pairing the jeans with a white lace top makes the look super summery, and the Can’t Stop Staring top from Solemio is ultra feminine with the open back, bustier detail and peplum flare. Since the main pieces are so light, the accessories really define the look. A Spring Time in Paris crossbody in white adds a ladylike touch, and a little bright colored jewelry really catches the eye- I picked a bright teal bangle and some earrings to match. And of course no outfit is complete without great shoes, so I added contrast with the Path wedge from Soda in black linen to finish the look.

For Elyse in Ireland!

For Elyse has gone global! Here’s the lovely Whitney rocking an outfit from our shop while visiting Galway, Ireland. She looks super stylish, but also comfortable enough to explore all day long! She sent us these snaps from the Galway city center and the Galway City Museum. She’s wearing the Love Stitch X-Ray Top in peach, which looks like a classic button-down from the front, but then has a surprise open back! Perfect for those brisk walks from site to site. Underneath she’s wearing one of our popular M. Rena Diana Camis, a soft, form-fitting tank with lace details around the top and straps. Whitney loves that her Diana cami doesn’t ride up during the course of the day, and how the subtle feminine details can just peek through the open back of her X-Ray Top. She’s also wearing a pair of Flying Monkey Jeans, our softest and slimmest fitting denim, and the Joia Ultimate Statement Necklace in teal, which adds a pop of color and the perfect finishing touch. Whitney says she’s been getting tons of compliments, and some have even told her she looks very European!
