casual weekend style – The Sol Compass

Hello everyone, welcome back! Today I’m sharing a simple and easy outfit for the upcoming weekend. If red isn’t your color, or you favor yourself a less festive dresser, this outfit is perfect. I am beyond obsessed with the cute details on this top, from the buttons to the pleats and the hem! The color goes great with any number of items (you may remember I paired it with these lemon shorts here), but I love the way it pops against all white.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Happy Hump Day friends! Last week I tacked a much needed staycation onto the long weekend and managed to take a little trip out to Newport, Rhode Island-one of my favorite spots in New England! It’s incredibly popular for girls’ weekends, bachelorette trips, and the like. I’ve gone down with my family for reunions, business trips, and even to see the mansions decked out in their Christmas best! I wrote a couple posts about my time there last year here and here!

First stop is the Cliff Walk. Nestled on the coast between the Atlantic and the famed Newport Mansions, it is a beautiful and scenic walk that everyone can enjoy! The tours of the Mansions (aka ‘Summer Cottages’ for the wealthy) are fascinating and offer breathtaking views of the Cliff Walk and beyond.

J.Crew Factory is my favorite stop for casual weekend pieces. I always find myself reaching for a pair of their shorts for weekend trips like Newport or the zoo. The patterns and colors are always fun and cute while being incredibly comfortable for lots of walking and some possible climbing!
