Top: Zara // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: Zara (similar) // Clutch: J.Crew // Sunnies: Karen Walker

Regardless of what the calendar says, I say summer starts on June 1st. That means it is time to break out all the palm print tops and straw accessories. I found this palm crop top during a lunch-time Zara run and loved the detail of the embroidery as well as the structure of the sleeves. It fits true to size (wearing a small) and is long enough to hit the top of my high waisted jeans. Unlike many white tops, the material is not thin or see through. This palm crop top looks best with skinny jeans, shorts, or a tight fitting skirt. Since it fits loose and the sleeves are a little puffy, it does not pair well with loose fitting pants or skirts. I chose to pair it with my favorite high waisted skinny jeans and classic nude heels. Since I have declared it to be summer, I traded in my large shoulder bag for this straw clutch. I found this clutch last year at J.Crew and have carried it much more than I thought I would. Luckily they brought back the exact same clutch this year and even added a pink version. Shop this look and a few other summer favorites below! xoxo
