After seeing a recent cover of Women’s Wear Daily featuring a tropical palm motif, I was inspired to pull a few things from my wardrobe and put together an outfit for the end of summer. I plan on wearing this to an upcoming casual outdoor afternoon wedding (hence the wedge shoe choice), but this outfit could also be worn to the office with a light weight blazer or dressed up with a more polished shoe for happy hour drinks on a rooftop with friends.

It is always okay to pair older wardrobe items with new and fun trending accessories to make the outfit look fresh. Since these items are things I have held onto from the past, hover over the image above to see some similar items that are currently available.

My inspirations for the outfit are found below. As a designer, I am inspired by runway trends and l places I travel to or images I see. I can’t wait to get more palm inspiration during my upcoming trip to Hawaii!
