It’s still quite warm here in Utah, so when I took my granddaughter to the lake the other day, I pulled together an effortless outfit of the day : Linen pants & Navy top that kept me cool and comfortable while still looking chic.
My Go-To Navy & Cream Top
I’ve had this navy v-neck blouse with ties and cream floral print for years, and it continues to be a favorite. It’s from Old Navy and has proven to be a true wardrobe winner. The long sleeves with elastic cuffs give it a relaxed yet polished look, and the light cotton fabric makes it flowy and perfect for warm days.

I’ve styled this top in many ways—one of my favorites was pairing it with a denim jacket (you can see that look here). It’s one of those versatile pieces that just works with so many outfits. I linked a similar one below in shop similar items.
Linen Pants That Feel Like Pajamas
On this warm day, I paired the blouse with my linen drawstring wide-leg pants. They are so comfy, they honestly feel like pajamas, yet they look effortlessly chic. I can’t remember exactly where I bought them, but I’ve linked a few similar pairs at the bottom of this post.

I wore a similar style of drawstring pants in another summer outfit you can see here. These pants are my go-to for easy days when I want to look put together without sacrificing comfort.

The Accessories That Pull It Together
Of course, no outfit is complete without accessories. My blue sunglasses from Italy were the perfect choice for a sunny and windy day by the lake—they add a fun pop of color and a little bit of European flair. On my feet, I wore my comfy white flip-flops, ideal for walking lakeside and chasing after my granddaughter.

Why This Outfit Works
This look is a great example of how to create a stylish outfit that’s also practical for everyday life. The flowy blouse adds a feminine touch, while the linen pants keep things relaxed. Paired with comfortable sandals and fun sunglasses, it’s the perfect outfit for warm-weather outings.

Georgia and I enjoyed exploring around the lake.
