Living in Southern California has its perks, especially having an office located right near the beach. Since it has been so hot here lately, we've had the privilege of working offsite and on shore. With that in mind, some of our cutest summer essentials came out to play. 

The outfit I chose for this week is the I'm With the Band Top ($38) by Threads For Thought and the Brooklyn Skirt ($48) in Sage by Toggery. 

If you haven't already noticed, we love prints. The I'm With the Band Top has an Aztec feel to it which is so adorable and so trendy right now. The front of it is made of organic cotton and the back of it is made of recycled polyester. I also love its asymmetrical hemline.

Now the Brooklyn Skirt is one of the most versatile pieces we have in the shop because it can be worn with anything. I love the Sage color it comes in because it can add a pop of fun to any outfit you choose. It also comes in grey and black that match any color and any kind of top like a plain tank or a big oversized sweater.

So if you want to look sexy yet simple at an affordable price, this is the outfit for you. For less than $100, it's also perfect for going out! Just add heels or a nice pair of flats.
