New York City, NY

This weekend, I was getting dressed only to realize that “getting dressed” means the same thing for me every summer. It’s too hot outside to want to wear anything, but seeing as that’s not a proper way to leave the house (lol), I have to find something to wear that won’t have me dripping in sweat the minute (nay, second) I step outside.

It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly makes the fashion of street style master Katie Holmes so alluring. If I had to guess, though, I’d say it’s her penchant for mixing unexpected, even controversial accessories with classy, timeless basics that can be worn on repeat. When it comes to Holmes’ style, she proves that less is often more, and that run-of-the-mill basics can still be the star of the show if styled correctly. Case in point: Holmes’ latest look, which featured a pair of flattering wide-leg jeans, plain T-Shirt, and leather ballet flats.

I’m 5’3” with a long torso and shorter legs, so finding jeans that fit well is always a challenge. The mom jean trend was my favorite because it was easy to find a pair of pants with a high-waist and I could get away with rolling the bottoms up or going for a more straight, cropped silhouette, which would hit just below my ankle instead of slightly above. But now, with the return of baggy jeans styles—including barrel jeans—I am once again faced with the dilemma of choosing a short jeans fit (which doesn’t always work on me for some...

I enjoy talking about the weather. I’m not sure if it’s a topic that makes me appear “old” or something with which to make mindless conversation, but for me, weather equals fashion talk. Hear me out: We dress for the weather; the weather influences exactly what we step out in—the shoes, the clothes, and even the accessories.
