A Spontaneous Summer Ft. Banana Republic

Summer brings a "go with the flow" vibe; its the perfect time to not overthink things and to be spontaneous. Plan a trip, ask a girl/guy out on a date, pick up a new hobby...whatever it is just do it! About two months ago, I planned a last-minute vacation to Maui for my mom, my wife, and yours truly...it probably was one of the most spontaneous things that I've done this year alone, and I'm glad I did because we spent a week in Maui and we all had a great time!

For this post I've partnered with Banana Republic to bring a laid-back outfit perfect for this season. For years, I've been a big fan of Banana's jeans, and these Rapid Movement Jeans are one of my faves due to its color, style, and comfort. I love the versatility of Banana Republic's jeans, mainly due to the fact that their quality in design allows you to dress these as casual or a formal as you want, without it looking too basic. 

I got my hands on this killer knitted jacket, and I love the two-tone look; it can easily be combined with both neutral and vibrant colors. This jacket is somewhat lightweight; so it should keep you pretty cozy during the evening. Before shooting this I went to the mall, I had lunch outside with my wife, and I even ran a few errands all while staying nice and fresh. The best part; you can easily transition this outfit along with your Fall and even Winter wardrobe!
