Let’s Look: Summer Staples

Hello All!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are enjoying May and the fresh starts the season brings. It’s the second Wednesday of the month which means it’s time for another Let’s Look as I link up with Shay and Erika.

Here’s a recap of the topics we have covered so far this year

In January, we talked about How We Clean Our Closets.

In February, the topic was Things We Do Every Day

In March, it was all about what’s in our Grocery Carts

In April, we chatted about our Quiet and Prayer Time.

This month’s topic is Summer Staples.

I’m going to be sharing some new items that I purchased for this season and some of my favorite items that I have loved through the years.

Let’s start with the new items:

I love a good wedge especially for going out and when I saw these heels for sale at Marshall’s I knew I had to get them. I shared them just last week as a part of my Friday favorites! Wedges provide more support for me and I can pair them with multiple outfits. You can wear these with a pair of white jeans or capris and fun blouse, a short sundress, or a longer, flowy dress depending on the occasion. I can’t wait to wear them this summer.

Now let’s get to the tried and true:

I love having a solid long and flowy dress in my closet. I got this black one from Old Navy and adore the style. You can pair it with sandals or wedges and wear it to the beach, out shopping or out to dinner. Throw on a jean jacket or sweater and you are set.

From long to short, I love having a good t-shirt dress in my closet too. I have a few solid and print dresses and love to pair them with sneakers for a sporty look or sandals for a dressed up look.

Cotton shorts are such an easy go-to when you are looking to throw something on after a day at the pool or beach. I have a pair of cotton shorts in both blue and white and I am constantly reaching for them in the summer months.

Graphic t-shirt, if you are looking for an easy and casual shirt to pair with a pair of cotton shorts or regular shorts, you can’t go wrong with a graphic t-shirt. I personally love ones that I have gotten from different places I have traveled to, it’s a great memory of where you have been and a cute item to add to your wardrobe. 

Fun sandals are something that can really elevate your outfit, whether they are with a pair of shorts or a dress or even a skirt, I love a pair of sandals that can add some flair and fun to your outfit.

A tennis dress or skirt are two items I added to my closet last summer and I got so much wear out of them. I got both of these from Amazon and once again, they were easy outfits to wear after a day at work, at the pool, or running errands.

These are some of my favorite summer staples that are go-to’s for me in the closet. I am looking to add a few new items this summer including some white capris, denim shorts, and some cover-ups for the pool or beach. Tell me: what are some of your summer must-haves?! Let me know in the comments below and if you have any suggestions for denim shorts or cover-ups, I’m all ears! 

See you back here on Friday!

Old Navy Clothing Haul

Hello All!

Happy September! I know we are in a new month and soon a new season, but since we still have a few more weeks to soak up warm weather and sunshine before it turns to fall, I wanted to share a few summer/ transitional outfits.

I ventured into Old Navy to do some browsing and lately it has been a hit or miss for me. Sometimes, I find great pieces and other times I don’t see anything I need or want. The last time I was in, I scored some great, end of summer deals! 

Here’s three outfits for three different occasions.

Date Night

These dresses have been a hit all summer! I’ve seen so many women wearing these flowy dresses all summer long. From dressed up with wedges or sandals to casual with sneakers. I like the puffy sleeves and the cinched top. I chose black since it’s a good transitional color between seasons and you can throw on a light denim jacket (either blue or white) to wear this dress in cooler weather.  I added a pop of color with these statement earrings. Here’s a similar dress.

Out and About

I am always on the lookout for different shorts or fun tops to add to my wardrobe. I love the denim look of the shorts and how they are cotton and have a more relaxed feel. 

This top is perfect for the transitional weeks between fall and winter. I love the color and how it can work with shorts, jeans or even leggings as it get cooler.

Lounge Wear

I wasn’t even looking for lounge wear when I saw this two piece combo. This outfit could work for lounging around the house, cozing up after a day outside or even pajamas. Once again, the neutral black color works well for changing seasons. I like how the pants are cuffed at the bottom too and the top is flowy. The material is so soft too.

These are just a few items that I saw and immediately fell in love with at Old Navy. Let me know in the comments below what pieces are your favorites and where you are finding transitional clothes this time of year! 

Happy Shopping!
