SUMMER BASICS
Let’s talk about basics! Summer is here, and I am thinking about all the knits, easy pants, dresses, and more I will be living in! Let’s start with the above outfit that is easy and casual, yet still interesting. I have been wearing these pants with this piped blouse and these sandals I have been wearing for years. The black and white palette makes it easy to mix and match with other shoes and accessories. I wore it this day with this tote I love. Now let’s chat about some of the other basics I can’t do without…
BASIC KNITS // Knits are the foundation of any summer wardrobe. I have quite a few I love, but top of my list would probably be this tank and this tee I bought after a few girlfriends raved about it. I typically prefer my tank tops on the more fitted side and tees a bit more relaxed. If I am in a long sleeve knit, it would be this striped boatneck style or this open weave sweater. I did just order this more slim tee with a boatneck that I want to dress up! Stay tuned!
EASY DRESSES // Whew, this heat in Florida is no joke right now, and easy dresses are a MUST. My current favorite knit dress is this one. It is a comfortable shape, is mini without being too short, and I love the neckline. Since buying this one, I am considering this longer length and this terry dress from the same brand! The other dress shape I love is from HHH. I own both the midi and the mini, and these are bra-friendly, always come in chic prints, and I find the fabric to be just the right weight.
SUMMER TOPS // I am currently living in the frog fastening tops from Zara, like this one. The boxy shape and super lightweight fabric make them perfect for the humidity. They are quite sheer, so if that isn’t your thing, you might want to pass! I also love this short sleeve woven top in two colors. Truth be told, on a very hot day, I am typically opting for a knit over a woven!
BOTTOMS TO LOVE // As witnessed above, I have grown quite fond of the balloon pant trend! In addition to the pants above, I also love these and these. Of course, I also love the Colby pant in all iterations possible. When I am going super casual, I am wearing these. I love them so much I got them in every color. I am not much of a shorts lover, but I think these are slowly converting me.
SIMPLE SANDALS YOU NEED // I KNOW, I KNOW, I have posted these 100 times, but these sandals are the GOAT. They are equal parts simple and refined. I own them in so many colors and wear them at least once a week. The other sandals I would stand behind are these criss-cross sandals that I could walk miles in and these sleek flip-flops.
