The 7 Summer Pieces You Need in Your Life ASAP
All for under $38!
For most college students, summer has begun. Time to meet back up with hometown friends, take a three-month break from essays, and spend time with family. Oh, and did I mention – the adorable summertime fashion?
As I write this, I am not quite to summer yet (two more weeks – got to love the quarter system!). But, naturally, I have been doing a lot of stress shopping to combat the awareness of the looming finals that await me.
CF Readers: I am truly so excited for the unique fashion this summer will bring. I’m thinking embroidered denim skirts, lots of off-the-shoulder tops, and quirky sandals.
I’ve created a list of the 7 summer fashion essentials you need in your life; all for under $38 (so you can love ’em, wear them to concerts, and not worry about anything getting damaged or stolen!)
1. The Dress
It’s no secret – I am in love with Tar-jay (and their clothes are no exception!) This belted, off-the-shoulder dress is the perfect piece for a summertime beach getaway (trip to the Hamptons, anyone?).
2. The Lace-Up-Sandal
Sandals are the ultimate summer staple, but I hate spending large amounts of money on them. Living in Denver, I know I can get a few months of good use out of any open-toed shoe, so I buy sandals from places like Lulu’s to stay on-trend and stick to a budget!
These lace-up sandals will bring such a statement to any outfit – I especially love these shoes with a white-off-the-shoulder dress! The heel height is just tall enough to give a little lift, but totally modest enough to walk longer distances in.
3. The Straw Clutch
Does anything say summer more than a straw clutch with pom-poms? Love this take on the classic clutch – and it is large enough to store a phone and a wallet!
Pair with a laid-back tee and jeans for a perfect pop of color.
4. The Sun Hat
Speaking of straw…this sun hat from Francesca’s with a big brim actually serves a really practical purpose (no one wants a bad sunburn!). The hello, sunshine written on the top is adorably cute and subtle; and, once again, the pom-poms complete the look!
5. The Casual Maxi
Surprise, surprise…another great Target find! When summer rolls around, I typically like to grab a casual pair of shorts and a t-shirt to run out the door. Elevate your casual look with a super-comfy maxi dress!
For maximum comfort and a carefree style, pair with double-strap sandals such as Birkenstocks.
6. The Maxi Skirt
As with maxi dresses, I have always been a sucker for a floral maxi skirt. These skirts can be worn with a tee for summer, or a sweater for spring or fall. Year after year, they never seem to go out of style.
I am head over heels with this design from Lulu’s – it would look beautiful paired with any sort of white top!
7. The Graphic Tee
Does anything say hello, summer more than a graphic tee? This Hawaii one will have you dreaming of ocean surf, even as you relax by the lake.
