One of my fav summer black style sketches — now in animated GIF form! Here’s the original — and here are more of my style sketches! Have fun planning some future outfit ideas!
(This style idea was inspired by Everlane‘s Shirred Mini Dress (sadly discontinued now), paired with Wraptillion’s Garland Earrings. When I’m sketching, I love using my custom croquis (a personalized fashion sketching template) from MyBodyModel to “try out” new outfit ideas!)
I’ve never really seen mini dresses as part of my personal style… but sketching out this floaty little black one is making me wonder if it could be! I always like something spiky and edgy to balance out a softer, sweeter look (the Garland Earrings here), and something sleek and modern (simple, classic black mule slides would do the trick for summer.) That took this style sketch in kind of a Mod + Goth direction, leading me to… Breakfast at Tiffany’s goes Goth! (I kind of love it.) So many possibilities… Classic wine nails, the Trellis Bracelet, cuban-heel stockings or a great ankle tattoo… Sometimes it’s so fun to play outside my personal style lane and try something new!
Inspired by this Shirred Mini Dress from Everlane, though I’d prefer shorter sleeves.

Decisions, decisions… Sometimes I just can’t decide which outfit ideas inspire me most! Classic Circling earrings, or botanical-inspired Mechanical Garden chandeliers? Rich mahogany brown, or simple black? For this style sketch, I kept things simple with one cap-sleeve modern tee dress, in two easy-to-wear neutral colors (similar to Everlane’s Luxe Cotton Side-Slit Tee Dress)…and then went wild with earring choices! (Let’s not even start with shoes… I really think you could wear anything from sneakers to heels with these!)
Tough choices, right? Maybe all of the above would be best…

No matter what season it is, chances are I’m wearing black! It’s chic, classic, edgy, and looks great with my currently-purple hair. For this summer’s outfit ideas, here are a few easy dresses paired with edgy floral earrings from my Mechanical Garden collection, including what to wear to date night on a balcony, a modern picnic, or a Goth-style day at the beach. I really love Universal Standard‘s knit dress designs — they’re so flowy and modern, and I love their inclusive sizing! I hope you enjoy these style sketches!
Above, the Geneva V-Neck Dress from Universal Standard in black, with my intricate modern chainmail Lotus Earrings, for an intimate balcony dinner date night. Time to paint your toenails black and pull out those silver sandals!
Above, the little modern dangles of my Short Fuchsia Earrings and the high-low hem of Universal Standard‘s Tesino Washed Jersey Dress in black are perfect for a modern picnic! Rose gold nails add a little easy polish, while a straw bag and flat sandals let you go anywhere.
Above, a flowy black maxi dress (Universal Standard‘s Athena Dress in black) and the modern chainmail circles of my Rose Window Earrings make a statement! Add sunglasses, sandals (black, of course!) and paint those toenails black for a beach day, Goth-style. (Or, you know, anyone who wants to try out a new style for a day!)
Of course, these edgy modern floral earrings aren’t season-specific, and you don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe to put your own outfit together! Whether you’re looking for bold statement earrings or delicate dangles, try the Mechanical Garden collection.

Dreaming of summer? I’ve been sketching some new outfit ideas, mixing new pieces with wardrobe staples and classic earring designs from my Circling collection. Here’s what to wear for a weekend brunch, to a summer art festival in the city, and out for a date night on the water, whether you’re headed to your favorite waterfront restaurant or a tropical vacation. I really love Universal Standard‘s knit dress designs — they’re so clean and modern, and I love their inclusive sizing! I hope you enjoy these style sketches!
Above, my sketch of the Athena Dress in true blue from Universal Standard feels like a perfect pairing with the classic hoops of my Overlapping Graduated Earrings. Just add a coral lip and your favorite sandals, and you’re set for brunch this weekend (with your best friends…or someone new.)
Above, my style sketch of the Tesino Washed Jersey Dress from Universal Standard in Olive (which looks more like a khaki brown on my screen), paired with the geometric circles of my Small Concentric Earrings. I’m thinking clean, modern, subtle but striking — perfect for a stroll through an urban summer art festival.
Above, my style sketch of the Geneva V-Neck Dress by Universal Standard in navy, paired with the little modern dangles of my Overlaid Earrings for just a touch of sparkle. This easy, summery outfit looks perfect for date night on a beach or a lakefront restaurant, don’t you think?
Of course, these classic modern earring styles aren’t season-specific, and you don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe to put your own outfit together! Whether you’re looking for bold statement earrings or minimalist dangles, try the Circling collection.
