Nili Lotan Top (also love the pants), Chan Luu Pants, Chanel Sandals & Bag

Some prints just feel nostalgic, and that is exactly what I love about the ones I keep reaching for this summer. Bandana motifs, paisley swirls, little boteh shapes, tiny florals, all of it has that worn-in, retro quality that makes even the easiest pieces feel special.

They remind me of summer camp, of the bandana tied around your neck or the hand-me-down print you wore until it softened. There is something about that faded, lived-in feeling that makes these patterns make so much sense for the season.
