Everything Necessary for Summertime
I feel like every time it gets above 85 degrees outside I instantly start thinking about every blog post I could possibly do involving warm weather. Sometimes I feel like I constantly repeat myself. But at the risk of repeating myself, there are just some necessities when it comes to summer style. I think that having a set of trendy and classic staples really makes getting dressed in the summer easier.
I think updating classics is always the way to go for a few reasons. First, most of the items I frequently grab during the summer are no-brainers. Pieces like sunglasses, sandals, and denim shorts are always in style and being used a lot. It's simple and can be budget-friendly to update these. Then there are the trendier pieces like straw bags. I always felt like straw bags were strictly for the beach, but the more I see them around the more they grow on me.
That's the thing about curating a personal style. Not every trend is for every person. If that makes me boring, so be it I guess. But as I have gotten older my summer style has transitioned quite a bit. I've embraced more trendy items and chosen more grown-up styles. Rather than a regular tank top (or oh dear, the early-200s spaghetti strap), I choose a silk camisole. It's perfect for warm weather because it feels cooler, it doesn't absorb sweat, and it's sexier. A flirty dress is necessary for going from day to night. Stripe midi dresses are breezy and not too warm. The whole goal, of course, is to stay cool and stylish at the same time right?
I've also updated the shop with tons of new stuff for summer! Everything from beauty to home goods and even stuff for puppies! Check that out here!
