Style a la Cart // 1
by Ashley Weeks Cart
I perfected my easy, breezy beach uniform during our Cape getaway. In fact, I was asked if I was going for the pajama look, and touché and right on! I look THAT comfortable, bordering, as always, on the homeless, hobo chic I so adore.
Basic white tee? Check! Cotton tie-dye shorts? Check! Floppy sun hat? Check! Statement accessory? Check! You’ll notice that my mantra for style is comfort, so typically my clothing is oversized and super loose. This look is no exception.
I found the shorts in a boutique connected to a bagel shop in Brewster, MA. Genius, no? While waiting for your breakfast, you can do a little shopping. Perhaps the prospect of a belly-filled with carbs steered me in the direction of these forgiving shorts, but whatever the motivation, I’m more than pleased with the purchase.
And the necklace/scarf hybrid is thanks to the wonderful design company, SAAKO. I’ve admired their work ever since they launched their international line back in 2009. These jersey knit accessories are created using scrap fabric from textile factories in Spain and Portugal. Better yet? Every piece is handmade by a local woman, and her story is included with each necklace she creates.
This particular style can be wrapped and worn in any number of combinations. And, the colors of this particular necklace complimented my wild shorts delightfully. And it gussied up my look so it was less pajama and more lazy summer day. Beach uniform perfected!
And now to let you join in the fun! Here’s how you can win an item of choice from SAAKO’s Spring/Summer Collection. That’s right ANY item you choose:
• Head on over to Facebook and ‘like’ SAAKO and Blog a la Cart on Facebook, then come back here and tell us you like us, you really like us! in the comments. It’s that simple!
Make sure you enter a valid email address in the email section of the comment box so I can contact you if you win! The winner will be chosen next Thursday, August 23 at 12pm EST. Open worldwide. Total Value: Up to $100.
GOOD LUCK!
