The next few months are officially summer and don’t they always seem to fly by before you get a chance to wear your favorite warm weather attire? The earlier you organize your summer wardrobe, the better.
The past few weeks I’ve spotted some classic affordable summer staples that just hit stores. I’ll share my finds below, along with my California Summer Swag giveaway open to everyone internationally…
Cali-for-ya~ I always smile when I drive by this mural on the corner of Folsom & 7th Street. Nothing says summer like some warm weather, sunglasses, and wedges. If you’ve been wearing bright denim all spring, try a bold colored maxi skirt or shorts.
More Peplum Please ~ I’d recommend a white peplum top as a summer wardrobe staple. Not only do they go well with skirts, shorts and pants, they look structured and stylish. (Here’s a more revealing similar version of a peplum top)
H&M Summer Score ~ H&M is having a huge sale right now and yesterday I found these lightweight bright beaded earrings. They’ll add a vibrant boost to any summer outfit.
Hot Pink Protection ~ Carrying around precious cargo like a laptop can get stressful (especially if you ever spilled on, dropped or broken one) so keep her safe. I found this Marc by Marc Jacobs pink cover this week at Bloomingdales (30% off) Similar Marc Jacobs snake print case HERE
Details by Dale
Shorts (recent) ~ Forever 21, White top ~ Crossroads Trading Co (no label), wedges ~ Nine West
Sunglasses, earrings, bracelets ~ H&M and Stella & Dot
