T-minus 72 hours until summer’s unofficial kickoff, and I’m eastbound to Montauk for sun, sand, and sea. Whether you stay in the city or head to the lake this holiday weekend, save some of that warm-weather mojo for the coming month, which promises to be packed with St. Louis soirees. In keeping with the season’s casual vibe, I built each look around a breezy top and shorts—a surprisingly versatile combination that can be relaxed or elevated with just a swap of shoes, bags, and extras.

Dress for outdoor entertainment in a cute cropped top, pleated shorts and wedges, and finish it off with cheeky, oversized earrings.

Walk and run to beat cancer with one of the city’s (and the nation’s) most venerable research and awareness advocates. Look the part in pink and wild prints like tie-dye and foiled ombre. The wild combinations will jazz up even your most basic running sneakers.

Purses and Pumps for Pooches and Pals
Thursday, June 28, 6 p.m.
Humane Society of Missouri Headquarters
A classic girls’ night out calls for cocktails, a wild wardrobe, and a bit of charity thrown in for good measure. This event has it all, including a raffle for designer bags and shoes and the opportunity to help alleviate and investigate animal abuse in the St. Louis area. Dress up your coolest cut-offs for a night on the town with slick heels and a trim blazer. A coordinating men’s watch balances those light heels, while well-matched shades add lady-like appeal. And don’t forget that martini!
