My Summer Favorites

It feels as though the many weekends of summer are just flying by and I wanted to speak a bit more about this season here on the blog before it’s gone. I struggle with putting together outfits in summer, so this year I’ve started experimenting more with accessories, and at the same time, just embracing more minimal looks. I’m really starting to enjoy getting dressed for this season more. So today I wanted to do a more casual post where I chat about some of my personal summer favorites and inject in a few late season wishlist items as well.

This summer I’ve managed to find some really beautiful and worthy additions to my capsule wardrobe, including an investment pieces that I’ve already got a ton of use out of, the Loq Ara sandals. But without spending a whole lot of money, I’ve also added some lovely accessories as well, like my Woven Finds round bag and these brown slides that I picked up from Nordstrom Rack several months ago. I’ve even been having fun experimenting with some vintage scarves tied to a bag or worn as a headband. Those are the types of details that really let your personality shine through your wardrobe basics.

I didn’t anticipate getting so much use out of my knits this summer too, so I’m very pleased with this chunky white cardigan that I picked up from & Other Stories in the spring. And one big thing on my summer wishlist was a versatile dress to add to my limited occasion wear collection. Luckily I found this gorgeous & Other Stories wrap dress right in time for wedding season. There are so many more lovely pieces that I am dreaming of currently. It’s a strange time of year when you could be looking for bathing suits or knitwear depending on where you are. But I think we still have a good few days of summer left here in San Diego and I plan on enjoying them!
