slim summer cargos

Welcome to my ideal outfit: a little tomboy, a little trendy. Perfect for a summer Twins game. No hate to those looking like T.C. in head-to-toe fan gear, but I prefer a more understated approach to team spirit. A feminine cami and strappy flats complement and balance boyish cargos (these are lighter than denim for a comfortable afternoon in the sun) and a baseball hat. And while I'm a cheerleader for maintaining some style at sporting events, keep it low maintenance. Stilettos and statement jewelry are best left off the field.

P.S. I LOVE these flats and they're pretty pliable and comfortable, but definitely not designed for treks. I walked in them from uptown to the Basilica Block Party last weekend (yay for finally seeing Mat Kearney!) and went home with red, raw heels requiring a slathering of Neosporin come Saturday morning. No bueno. Still, pointy lace-ups should definitely be on your BUY NOW list! Everyone from Topshop to Anthro is stocking them.
