The Classic Summer Look

I’m starting things off with the most classic summer look. What is more classic than cutoff denim shorts and a white button-down combo? Nothing my friends and having these two staple pieces are a must for every summer wardrobe. You complete the look with my favorite slide sandals and gold hoops. Finally switch out the white button-down for a neutral tee for a more casual pairing.

The Chic Summer Look
Going with a monochromatic look is the easiest way to make any outfit look expensive and chic. So if you have some things in your closet that are the same color throw them together and see what you come up with! If you’re ready to treat-yo-self to this look pair these Bardot trousers with an off-the-shoulder top.
Complete the look with heeled mules and a chic neutral bag this Staud bean bag is a favorite. If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly try this JW Pei which is the perfect summer accessory. Orchid and kelly green are going to be very hot this summer!

The Summer Mini Dress Look
This L*SPACE mini-dress look can be worn on many different occasions. (weddings, date-night, girls’ night out, etc.) However you decide to wear it, pair it with strappy heels, a chic bag, and simple hoops for the perfect look this summer.

The Date Night Look
Depending on the date night you are going on, I wanted to include two options for you! One is a little more dressy and the other is dressed up casually. The white top on the casual date night look is so chic and can be worn with distressed straight-leg jeans, this fun summer bag, Sam Edelman heels, and gold earrings.
Next, the dressy date night look is perfect for a dinner night out with your boo. This Michael Costello dress from Revolve is a fan favorite and looks great paired with these strappy heels, raffia crossbody, and simple hoops. Throw your hair in a slick bun to complete the look.

The Casual Summer Look
If you are headed to the city this summer, you need to try this casual summer look! I call this the casual cool city slicker look and you can achieve this by wearing denim shorts, pairing them with white sneakers (size up in those), throwing on a graphic tee, chic black sunnies, and a crossbody. Tell me you don’t want to look this cool every day? Because I know I do!

Pool Outfit Ideas
If we are going to the pool this summer, we are looking fierce ok? This look would be great for vacation or just your average pool day. Wear this nude one-piece swimsuit and pair it with this fabulous cover-up skirt. You could also pair the skirt with a tank top for a less glam look. Add my favorite chic sunnies from Amazon, a raffia crossbody, and fun earrings to pull it all together.
You can also add this L*Space mini dress to your summer wardrobe. It’s so versatile so while you can wear it to the pool (with this neutral sun hat) you can also dress it up with heels for a night look!
The Beach Look
Heading to the beach this summer? You’ll want to keep it casual and cool with this chic one-piece from EBERJAY. Pair it with denim shorts, these comfortable slide sandals (that go with everything!), and top it off with sunnies and a wide straw fedora.

The Wedding Guest Look
Being that most weddings were re-scheduled last year, I’m sure you have many to attend this year! Here are two dresses to choose from. This black formal dress from Nookie is perfect for a formal or black-tie wedding. Finally, this NBD pink dress is the best for a garden, coastal, or beach wedding. You can pair both these looks with this chic JW PEI bag and dressy earrings!
