Styling tip: Roll the sleeves and try a half-tuck to add shape without losing that laid-back vibe.

Add a subtle glow with a 14k Gold Intention Bracelet by Shiny Soul Creations—lightweight, meaningful, and made to stack. Stack it with thin bangles or dainty rings for just-right sparkle at the table.

Optional Add-Ons

• Shoes: clean white sneakers for comfort, or tan strappy sandals if you’re leaning dressier.

• Bag: a neutral crossbody or mini tote (hands free = mimosa ready).

• Sunglasses: cat-eye or rounded frames for a hint of retro flair.

This look works for patio brunches, mimosas with friends, or a solo café date with your favourite book—and it transitions seamlessly from pancakes to plans.
