Hey pretty girl! Welcome back to the blog!
August is here—and summer is still going strong. While some are starting to whisper about fall, I’m still fully embracing linen, slides, and sun-soaked days. But just because the weather hasn’t shifted doesn’t mean I can’t reset my mindset, my routines, and how I approach getting dressed.
If July felt chaotic or like it flew by in a blur, this is your moment to pause and realign. Today I’m sharing my intentions for August, plus a few go-to pieces that are making these hot summer days feel a little more effortless—and a lot more polished.

MY AUGUST INTENTIONS
This month I’m focusing on:
- Consistency – showing up daily on LTK, Instagram, and my blog with clarity and value
- Structure – building a daily rhythm that works with my lifestyle (not against it)
- Ease & Elegance – curating outfits that feel chic, breathable, and intentional—no overthinking required
This isn’t about reinventing myself. It’s about gently coming back to what works.
NO WARDROBE RESET - JUST A REFOCUS
I haven’t packed away a single summer item—and I’m not pulling out layers just yet. What I am doing is getting super clear about what I’m wearing on repeat and making sure those pieces are front and center.
Here’s how I’m keeping it simple:
- Reaching for lightweight fabrics (like linen and cotton) in neutral tones
- Sticking with comfortable slides and sandals I can wear from Barre to brunch
- Choosing dresses with movement and structure—a Pretty Prim must
- Rotating a few go-to accessories to elevate the look without adding heat
WHAT I'M WEARING NONSTOP
These are my MVPs right now—and I’ve linked them all on my LTK shop:
- Quince Linen Camp Shirt – breezy, classic, and perfect with shorts or trousers
- Schutz Elodie Mules + Summer Dresses – my go-to for days when I need to look pulled together fast
- Veronica Beard Via Slides in Honey – neutral, chic, and they go with everything
- Crop Tank from Amazon + Lululemon Align Leggings – my current Pure Barre uniform
- Naghedi Tote + gold jewelry – lightweight touches that add polish without effort

LET'S REFRESH TOGETHER
August doesn’t have to mean overhaul—it can simply be a return to center.
To the things that feel good. That make sense. That make getting dressed easy again.
