It's backkkk!
Here are a few trends to look out for when you're searching for new summer clothes!
Now that I am posting these pictures, I'm seeing my oblivious attitude towards keeping my bed clean when taking pictures. I SWEAR, I just pulled out all my clothes to take pictures, it is always much cleaner. So sorry! But here it goes...
First thing is first, MAXI SKIRT. Everyone needs one! Paired nicely with a tank top, you can find them for very cheap at FOREVER 21!
Another skirt/dress trend would be the MIDI. It falls just below your knee. It usually a flowy style. This one is from AMERICAN APPAREL, but they have some really cute snug & flowy ones at ARITZIA and FOREVER 21.
WHITE PANTS are the perfect go-to jean for the summer season. They are hard to pull off during the winter so take advantage during the summer. These are boyfriend jeans from AMERICAN EAGLE.
Anything NEON is in right now from tops, dresses, pants even necklaces. It makes a statement and it's one of the top trends this summer. The shirt is from AMERICAN APPAREL and the pants from FOREVER 21.
Eeek, this is my favorite look!!! Combining the CHAMBRAY BUTTON UP and TEXTURED SKIRT, this is a super summery look that can work for anything! Especially a country music festival ;) Shirt from AMERICAN EAGLE and skirt from FOREVER 21. Totally from Pinterest, too!
COLORED SHORTS! No need for more detail. It can be done as a dress up look or dress down. Here is an example of dressing it up. Again, from FOREVER 21.
Like the white pants, a WHITE BLAZER is also a must... for similar reasons of course :) This outfit is also a good example of using neutrals with pastels. Its light and summery which is exactly what we should be aiming for! Shirt is from ARITZIA, and blazer and skirt are from ZARA.
You see this next look everywhere on Pinterest: JEAN JACKET with a MAXI STRAPLESS DRESS. It's perfect layering that will workout for the spring or "in between" months. Jacket is from SIMONS and maxi dress can be found at FOREVER 21.
LACE SHORTS are all the rage! They are also very comfortable! What's especially wonderful about them is that it can be both fancy and casual, depending on the top. These shorts are from ZARA and the top is from DYNAMITE. Oh, and sheer tops are good to have as well! Especially when you need to dress up for work and its like 40 degrees outside!
Another one of the favorite trends: HIGH WAISTED JEAN SHORTS! One of my secrets: i got these as men's 90's pants for 3$ at VALUE VILLAGE, and destroyed them myself! It's the perfect casual "walk in the park" outfit. Top is from AMERICAN EAGLE. It's also great to have a bunch of strapless flowy tops to avoid attrocious tan lines, ya know.
TRAVEL ACCESSORIES!
OK, so I'm really excited for GREECE! But this can still apply for a day at the beach or going for a walk downtown. Important to have:
- A hat: hats are really in right now. Doesn't have to be a fedora like me, anything beachy is in, so go nuts!
- A bunch of light satchel bags: nobody wants to lug around a big leather purse so having a "barely there" one is perfect! You can find these anywhere, really.
- Cute pair of flip flops: ok, so I'm a loser and I have gold flip flops, black flip flops and colored ones so I don't clash when I wear silver BUT, comfy sandals are perfect for beach time or a casual dinner.
- Sheer headband: nothing too heavy but it's just something to add to your outfit instead of a scarf! Again, on those super hot days!
- Comfy walking shoes: yes friends, I learnt my lesson: don't go to europe with only flip flops, flats and mocassins. I get it. So I got myself some Sperry Topsider Boatshoes! Something with a little more support will help this time around. You could even go for Toms or flat's Crocs! Anything to give you a big of support if you're sightseeing or just walking your dog!
- Beach bag/carry on: something to keep all your stuff together! Enough said! Mine has cute birdies on it! What ever guys, it's cool!
SCARVES! Something very light and airy for those early mornings! The bottom one was from URBAN OUTFITTERS. They have a bunch of circule scarves like that!
Finally, a little dress up fun! Other than maxi dresses and skirts, everyone needs a HIGH-LOW DRESS! It's one of the biggest trends this summer and you can find them virtually anywhere! This one is from FOREVER 21.
The last trend this summer, which might seem a bit weird, is LEATHER. To avoid a "Ross and baby powder" situation, get something flowy this this skirt from FOREVER 21. Another super cute trend that works wonderfully with high waisted shorts is bralettes! There is a huge variety at GARAGE!
I think we all learned one thing today: FOREVER 21 has almost everything! So go have fun and post your own pictures!! Gonna be a fabulous summer ladies and gents, just fabulous! Stay tuned for a bikini post soon enough!
..for anyone who didn't understand my FRIENDS reference, I feel sorry for you..
