El-Yes: Afternoon Delight

I’m free!!!!!!!

I don’t want to gloat… but I have three weeks of summer vacation before the summer school term starts and I go back to teach. I plan to wallow in fashion magazines and sunshine (apparently Mother Nature didn’t get the memo today).

What better place to celebrate summer break than a concert at Millennium Park? With a picnic spread across the lawn and classical music wafting through the air, I was thoroughly enjoying my afternoon.

And then I started people watching.

Have you ever sat around in Millennium Park looking at tourists? It sort of makes me sad for America. I was expecting fun street fashion and was met with fanny packs and jorts instead.

But then I saw Miss El-Yes.

Lightweight button down with rolled up sleeves; check. Cool tailored graphic shorts; check. Leg lengthening nude ballet flats; check. I adore this outfit.

Revel in summer with this crisp ensemble from J.Crew. This perfect linen shirt will keep you cool for $79.50. You should pair it with these striped Rivera shorts for $150 and finish off the look with these gorgeous nude woven flats for $128.
