Summer Dream Team Part Sarah

ahhhh the dream team. the group of select pieces that if you could just have all together would craft the perfect outfit. i am constantly working in dream teams for my own personal wardrobe, and seldom make the head to toe happen-- which is usually a good thing, monetarily of course, and also because my group tends to be more absurd together than cohesive.

ok so for this particular dream sequence, kristina and i talked about what we really want to wear right this minute/all season long. I really like a uniform-- a blazer for me is key, and then a nice pair of pants or shorts (weather dependent) finished off with platforms. i could wear a variation of that everyday, haha i frequently do. throw in some excellent accessories and you are set.

Blazer

You know what, j crew's got my number on this one. this navy schoolboy blazer is something that i really want for spring. It is a very cute fit (tried it on at the store recently) and i love the color. And this guy will be in the wardrobe for a long time, and then can help me out in fall to avoid wearing all black. this feels like a good decision.

Shorties

gotta have the shorties for spring. we here at mctega love a good pair of shorties. i like this pair, because even though they are climbing the thigh, they still have a put together feel to them because of the rise, the angled leg, and creased front. also i learned something new…they are made of ramie which is an asian shrub and member of the nettle family. strong and durable fibers.

Tank

soo admittedly, this tank is pretty boro. but this is what i would and do wear basically everyday. i have a variety of colors and i have stripes. these are excellent to wear under blazers and are quite comfortable. i looked and looked for another top, but i was like, who am i kidding. this is what i want to wear.

Bag

i mean come on. this one has been on my list for many moons. gotta get the medium, gotta get the midnight. day to night style. this bag is my ideal because 1) there is utility-- gotta be able to tote about planners, books, and important papers (i usually employ an 8.5"x11" rule to bags to make sure they can hold papers flat....this guy is 12.5"x8" exception made because i have seen this bag in person and it was insane) . 2) ohhh wait, is there a cross body strap annnd handles? options. excellent. and 3) it is such a good looking bag that can be worn all the time. yes, i'll take one please.

Sunglasses

when i saw these last spring, i was like ummm what? i must get these. haha they are quite funny, and i really enjoy them. recently, i had the opportunity to try these on, and another customer looked over and told me that i looked like a character out of a children's storybook. i take that as a compliment? to me, these glasses are an item so rad, that they put you in a good mood whenever you have them on.

these shoes are in the hall of fame dream teamers. i cannot believe that they made these again and are selling them. this shoe has frequently been a topic of conversation for mctega, and when i saw them for sale on this site, i immediately had to email kristina, and she had to put up with a message basically composed of exclamation marks. they are all a platform should be and more. please zoom in and see the rainbow thread on the gold leather...what? ferragamo, are you serious right now? you have crafted a beautiful pair of shoes that elicits great joy. i cannot imagine wearing these guys...oh no wait, i can, with my dream team outfit. bigga time. everyday.
