From bike shorts to bucket hats, there was no shortage of summer trends. While I don’t partake in every trend, it’s always fun to take one you like and make it your own. My personal favorite of the summer is power sleeves. When it comes to fashion, I’m all about pieces that make you feel empowered. For most people, fashion is not only an outlet of self-expression but a source of confidence.

Pieces with power sleeves did just that for me. They were something I already gravitated towards naturally, so when I stumbled across this shirt thrifting, I knew it had to be mine. Textured and tan, it was right up my alley (living for shades of tan/brown this summer). If you asked me a few years ago if I would ever pair brown and black together, it would have been a firm “no”. However, I’ve come to love this combination and have been sporting it a lot more. To go with my top, I wore a pair of black Levis and my Charles & Keith mules. Simple yet chic!
