I picture this outfit in New York, walking to get lunch on Lafayette. However, it's a perfect it girl outfit for anywhere. It's very modern-day Alexa Chung (not that Alexa Chung is ancient; I just feel like 2010 her would wear this circa 2024, if that makes any sense at all. Fashion is a language; it's not meant to be explained in perfect English). I digress.

A black mini dress is timeless, as we all know - and it really is an all-year-round staple. But pair it with a baseball cap, sunnies, and ballet flats, and you have an ideal summer look. Plus, all of these pieces are super affordable and great capsule pieces - if they aren't in your closet yet, they should be now.

Whether you are going to lunch, getting a coffee, watching a tennis game, or visiting an art museum: you can't go wrong with this look.

I love the pop of color this red bag gives and Le Specs makes the most perfect sunglasses, and I'm obsessed with these ones. I don't currently own them but they are definitely on my wishlist. Stunning. And the fact that this dress is only like 40 bucks seems like a steal with today's prices.

However, I do understand that a black dress might seem like a bit of stretch, saying that this has been an insanely hot summer, so another option is this white cotton dress with a lower neckline. Equally cute and would totally work with this look,

And whether or not you are Canadian - you can still rep the baseball cap. It's super cute and switches it up from the baseball caps everyone else seems to have. Or maybe you are happening to visit Toronto this summer and need some matcha recommendations, because if so I got you.

So throw on the it girl outfit, channel your inner Alexa Chung, and hit the town.
