I’m a huge fan of un-traditional fashion. I like to pair things together that aren’t quite so predictable. I have actually only worn a full suit once – for the interview of the job that I currently have. I’m not into “pants”, and by “pants” I mean the kind of pants that my Grandma would refer to. Slacks, if you will. I am very into shorts, however, and am loving a shorts suit for Spring since it’s still in the 70’s here in Chicago. Taking it a step further, I think mixing prints between the jacket + shorts is a super chic way to step the suit game up. It’s an easy way to create a suit using separates that you already own, or by snagging one of these pieces from the current Net-A-Porter summer sale.

This is hands down, my favorite online sale of the year. You will be hard pressed to find a better deal on some of the most luxurious brands in the business — so take advantage! I bought 3 pairs of shoes from the sale last year, all which have already been re-soled at least once and collectively cost the same as 1 pair originally. I’ve pinned some of my favorites here & here for you to check out. Happy Shopping! #TYT
