Summer Go-To

Here my summer go to outfits.

Casuals:

what's laid out:
Batman tank top - Cotton On

pink/white tribal print shorts - Forever21

liar's unite tee - Aeropostale
blue/white tribal print shorts - Cotton On

I like loose fitted shirts with printed shorts during the hot summer days. It's easy to just grab and put on without much thought. 

Rompers:

what's laid out:

neutral tribal print romper - Forever21

blue optical illusion(?) romper - Cotton On

green belt - Old Navy

The neutral romper is a little more casual than the blue one with the criss cross back and lower cut. The second when paired with a belt (and even some nude heels) is more sophisticated with the high neckline. The only problem with a romper is going to the bathroom...

Dressy:

what's laid out:

coral short sleeve - Express

black/white daisy skater skirt - Cotton On

blue and white stripped dress - ?

coral maxi dress - Wave

What I love about these "dressy" options is that they can be dressed up or down for a casual day running errands or a nice dinner out. 

Purses:

what's laid out:

coral sherbet shoulder bag - Payless

red/white/yellow stripped shoulder bag - American Rag

Yellow shoulder bag/clutch - Plato's Closet
Love Pink tote - Victoria's Secret

During the summer I don't like carrying a large purse so I opt to minimize what I carry. The large Victoria's Secret tote is a great pool bag.

Shoes:

what's laid out: Sandals

white Christian Siriano - Payless

tan Montego Bay Club - Payless

Mossimo Supply Co. - Target

Again I like easy/minimal work with my clothes in the summer and what's easier to slip on then a pair of sandals?

The best thing about most of the clothes shown is that they were on sale. The Express shirt and yellow purse was actually purchased at a sale at Plato's Closet last summer, everything from Cotton On was $5 and everything else is either somewhere under $15 or old so I've worn their worth. Knowing you got a great deal as you walk away with your shopping bags in hand is one of the most satisfying feelings (especially if you're prone to buyers remorse like me). 

Hope this look into my summer wardrobe was interesting - in a nutshell I generally go with something loose and simple.
