There’s nothing more classic than a great pair of jeans, a white tee, and some cute sandals. I am lucky to live in a place where summer evenings still get cool, so jeans are definitely in my summer rotation. (Just make them distressed and light-washed, please!) No one does amazing, light-wash, denim like Levi’s…no one!
My Go-To Jeans Right Now: Levi’s Wedgie Fit Straight
I’m super-picky about finding that perfect vintage-looking wash, and Levi’s just always get it right. AND we all know Levi’s are still offered at a fabulous price-point, under $100 for most pairs, AND they’re a sustainable company. It’s not surprising then that I keep returning to them again and again.
Vintage-Washed Levi’s, A Fresh White Tee & Cute Sandals, Please
The Wedgie fit Levi’s have been a team favorite for a while. It took me a bit to get used to 100% denim again, but after finding so many good pairs over the years, I’m now fully on board with this vintage style…but I still love the updated cuts with higher waists and crops— like these. Cropped jeans, for me, are a must in summer. The straight leg + the distressing + the crop helps keep me a little cooler than full-length skinny jeans. These feel more modern. Pair with my favorite summer-style tip, a knotted tee, cute sandals (ooh on sale here!), a fun bag, and voilà! Easy summer jeans look, done.

This is a little peek into what a photoshoot for me looks like right now. Trying to focus and getting photobombed by my child. Actually, this is what my whole life with this little one looks like. It’s Sienna’s world and we’re all just living in it. Send wine.
