This week’s photos are from a recent trip my children and I took to visit my grandmother, who lives on Martha’s Vineyard. This is the perfect time of year to visit there. The weather is usually beautiful, the crowds are a bit smaller than they tend to be in the peak of the tourist season, and the water is still warm enough that you can enjoy the beach.
This outfit is a very simple one, yet it very much represents my personal style. It is everyday elegance at it’s core.
I wore a simple navy long sleeved T-shirt. This shirt is so comfy and goes with anything. I bought it at a discount outlet near our home (anyone in Maine familiar with Mardens?) for a great price. It know this one is going to get a lot of use. A simple solid colored tee like this one is a wardrobe staple.
The knit maxi skirt I wore is a very simple one with an elastic waist. I’ve had this skirt for years and I don’t know what I’m going to do once it wears out, because I wear it so often! There’s something elegant about a long skirt blowing in the breeze, isn’t there?
To dress up the outfit and add a bit of interest to this very simple combination, I added a pretty light green scarf. This scarf ups the elegance factor by a lot!
Very simple stud earrings and my favorite Chloe + Isabel sunglasses round out the look.
And of course, my bare feet make the outfit beach worthy! (I wore simple navy ballet flats with this outfit when I wasn’t walking on the sand.)

I love this look. It is one that I have tried and failed many times. lol For some reason I can never find the right skirt and always feel over dressed.
Thanks, Victoria! Maybe you should try it with bare feet like I did! ? Seriously, though, I find a knit maxi skirt is so comfy and simple to accessorize. The type of accessories you choose can really make a difference in the level of dressiness of an outfit.
Love the seaside look, pretty scarf on you! Yes, very elegant! i have never been to Martha’s Vineyard.. maybe one day 🙂
thanks for linking!
