The best staples for summer! 🌞👖👕

I stand by the fact that summer is for easy outfits. And year after year, I feel myself reaching for the same basic pieces that are so easy to style all season long and despite ever changing trends, they remain solid staples in my summer wardrobe. Some of these pieces are years old now and are still serving me so well. If you are looking to invest in some basic summer staples, I would say start with these pieces, they are timeless, effortless and have stood the test of time!

Bottoms

A good pair of jean shorts and regular long jeans are always in rotation. You cannot go wrong with these two staple bottoms. They go with pretty much everything and can be styled both up or down

Dresses

A bias cut silk dress is always in my summer wardrobe. There’s really not much to say about it except it is thee perfect summer dress! I always find myself reaching for my tank dress as well, another really easy piece to throw on!

Tops

You cannot go wrong with a tank top and a nice strapless top for summer. Both of these are the perfect basic tops for pants, skirts, etc. They go with everything and have been in rotation year after year.

What are your summer staples? Anything I should add to the list?

... Read moreAs we transition into the warmer months, having a well-curated summer wardrobe is essential. The key to effortless summer styling lies in choosing versatile and timeless pieces that offer both comfort and style. Jean shorts are a wardrobe staple, perfect for casual outings or beach days, effortlessly paired with tank tops or strapless options for an updated look. When selecting dresses, consider a bias-cut design that flatters all body types, allowing you to feel chic while staying cool in the heat. Remember to accessorize minimally, letting your outfit shine. Additionally, explore lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton to beat the heat and remain fashion-forward. Incorporating sustainable brands into your summer shopping list not only enhances your wardrobe but also supports eco-friendly fashion. Whether you’re planning a beach vacation or casual get-togethers, packing these essential pieces ensures you’ll be ready for any occasion. Embrace the ease of summer dressing with these must-have staples!

1. Both of these oils are amazing! I love the voodoo oil which I got off the tik tok shop. I know the name sounds crazy but I promise it smells so good and definitely works on my scalp. I just ordered another bottle. The rosemary oil came from Marshall’s. It doesn’t smell as good as the voodoo oil
