Summer sets are some of my favorite things. Sets, in general, are some of my favorite things. They can be worn together, seperately- the possibilities are endless. And in Summer? One of the best things about sets is that they can provide instant fashion- get up, put them on, no thinking required. Sets are a form of self care in that they take care of your outfit while you take care of you.
This set? Knit. A bit preppy, just a hint of vintage (but it’s not), and it holds a bunch of Summer goals (or sets). Wear it for errands, or parties, or to the pool. Dress it up or dress it down. At a time when I’m Summer goal set-ting, this set feels like all the things I want to be and do.

One of the reasons this set was so appealing to me? I’ve spent part of the past year watching a ton of old movies, especially Doris Day movies.
(Doris Day has always been one of my mom’s faves and I was raised on her movies. They’re light, fun, and full of the most stunning fashion. I highly recommend! And if you need a few titles to get you started, feel free to reach out!)
This set felt like something from one of the Doris Day movies I’ve been watching. A bit fun, a bit flirty, a bit functional. As I mentioned, the feel is very vintage, but it’s modern (I love it when that happens!). The fit makes me feel as if I’m starring in my own 60s movie!
Note: one of the last Doris Day movies we watched? The Glass Bottom Boat – details here– in it, Doris Day plays a woman who plays a mermaid to help her dad’s glass bottom boat company. There’s also some spy things, NASA things, and stunning costumes. But. I shot this look at a little place where there are glass bottom boats and there used to be “mermaids” who would perform in shows. Art influencing art? Art influencing our goal set-ting?
Maybe it’s all of the same.
What are your goals for the summer? What do you want to set? To wear? To be? To do?
I want to hear all about it!
