FAVORITE TUNIC

tunic| jeans| booties| sunglasses| bag (old) similar here and here A few years ago I probably would have said no to tunics. I always thought they were too flowy and had way too much material.

Tunics are great because they looks amazing with jeans, look wonderful with some denim cutoffs and are the perfect length to wear with leggings. I ...

It was very hot when we were down there so shorts were a ...

It’s such a classic look and the perfect swimsuit to mix and match with other swimsuit tops ...
