Comfy Sandals + Denim Cutoffs

Braided Flat Sandals AGOLDE Parker Long Denim Shorts

Earlier this week, I shared a mini review of these sandals on Instagram.  They come in 10 colors, run TTS and are SUPER comfortable.

The cushioned insole is like a cloud for your foot and the leather is buttery soft.  For under $100, these might be my best summer shoe purchase.

 

I paired them with my favorite denim cutoffs (read my full review here).  I recommend buying your favorite denim in two sizes.  This is the smaller of the two sizes I own.  Check out the fit difference compared to the larger size here.

Because they are 100% cotton, if you only want one size, I recommend sizing down.  They will stretch.

Paired with nautical stripes, this is an easy and fun summer look.

Top 5 Favorites – June 2021

Top 5 Favorites June 2021 We all have summer on the brain.  Your Top 5 Favorites for June were like the perfect summer day.  Beach time in the morning followed by a night out!
Mini Dress

I adore this dress and snagged it on sale.  It also comes in pink, yellow and white.  Not gonna lie – I will probably get another color.

One piece bathing suit

This beauty comes in pink and black and looks SO good on.  I have hips and a booty but have honestly never felt more comfortable in a one piece than I have in this one.  The high-cut leg is so flattering – try it – I promise you’ll love it!

Bikini (top and bottom)

This wins the award for most comfortable bikini EVER.  It’s super chic (also comes in red), the cheeky bottoms aren’t too cheeky and the top is perfect for active water sports or if you have kids.

Sandals

These are SO comfortable.  And they’ve taken a beating.  I wear them to the beach (in the ocean, oops!), to run errands and even walking around the San Diego Zoo all day.  They come in 7 colors and run TTS.

Straight leg jeans

Cue the perma-spot music for these jeans.  They’ve made your Top 5 countless times and rightly so.  They run TTS and come in multiple washes.  I like this light wash for summer.

Affordable Summer Sandals

Summer sandalsIf you’ve read In Spades before, you know I’m a fall/winter girl when it comes to fashion.  So it’s not surprising that except for these, I haven’t updated my summer sandal collection in about 10 years!  While I love the sustainability aspect of this, it’s definitely time for a refresh.

I’ve been scouring the internet for comfortable, flat sandals and here are my faves.

Top 5 Favorites – April 2021

In April I shared some recent summer finds and my go-to loungewear on the blog and Instagram.  Here are the Top 5 Favorites you loved last month.

Lounge leggings

These have made the list before, but I think it was my Insta Story about what the fabric looks like up close that people loved.  I compared them to the Lululemon Align Pant, and let me just say, the difference is staggering.

Bonus points: this color is currently 40% off!

Sweatpants

I discovered these this year and have purchased 3 pairs total.  I love them THAT much.  They are super soft and comfy and have enough structure to look chic and never dumpy.  The fabric is the perfect weight to wear year-round and not be see-through.

Sizing – they run small.  I own them in a size small for a fitted look and a size medium for a more relaxed, loungey look.

Bonus points: all of these colors are on sale!

Summer Dress

This balloon-sleeved dress is super cute and comes in 3 colors.  I have it in red.  I love that it’s cotton so you can wash it!

Summer sandals

Another amazingly comfortable find, I adore these sandals.  They are leather yet survived a dip in the ocean.  They run TTS and come in 5 colors.

Skinny/straight jeans

I think these just need a permanent spot on the list because they are back again!  Score them for $44 like I always do by keeping up to date on the sales (simply click the “Get Sale Alert” hearts above).

 

The Best Affordable Black Pants

Everlane Slim Leg Pants Everlane Slim Leg Pants

These black pants are one of my best wardrobe staples.  I first wrote about them as part of my weekend packing guide.  Super comfortable (they have stretch) and easy to take from a relaxed to polished look.  If you need a “hero pant” these are it!

They are $68, run TTS, come in a cropped or regular length and 4 colors.

I paired mine with my favorite summer sandals (affordable options linked below) and one of my best investment handbag purchases.

I guess you could say this outfit is one of my best cost-per-wear looks ever!
