such a tassel

When it comes to my spring and summer wardrobe, there’s always one thing I shy away from – anything that’s a hassle. If its difficult to wear, clingy in the wrong places, too hot or requires more effort than I have patience for (which is not a lot), I’d rather not bother.Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, TexasThat is why I’m such a fan of fun, bright items that spruce up a look effortlessly. Especially when that fun, bright item takes the form of a tassel. Two tassels, rather. For your ears. Tassel earrings. Hello show stopper.
Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, TexasI received this pair from Lisi Lerch, whose repertoire boasts of vibrant, poppy pieces, and have already dubbed them “accessory of the season.”Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, Texas Taking the color theme and running with it, I added an aquamarine Lilly top and breezy mint shorts for a splash of summer. White nails and this delicate cross bracelet by Gorjana kept things anchored in the midst of so much color.

And I won’t have to worry about being too hot. Ask any Texas gal – that is music to the ears. Orange, Blue, Tassel, Lilly Pulitzer, Zara, Mint, Ruffle Shorts, Tap Shorts, Summer, Spring, Accessories, Fashion, Style, Southern, Preppy, Sorority, TexasEven more reason to celebrate?
