Favourite Summer Outfits

New post today!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!! If you follow me on Instagram, yesterday you got a sneak peak into today’s post. Since Summer still is in full swing here, I wanted to recap my favourite looks and items of the Summer. I owe today’s post to my wonderful husband, who made breakfast yesterday so I could blog, before we had to tackle some chores, shopping and a bbq at a friend’s place.

By far my favourite purchase and most beloved item of the Summer has to be my denim vest. At first I was reluctant to buy it. Wasn’t sure if I would get enough use out of it. Was I ever wrong!!! I wore it so much. It’s such a great layering piece over anything: dresses, skirts, shorts and the perfect completer piece. On Saturday I wore it to the zoo with shorts and a tank top, again can be seen on Instagram.

The next item that I couldn’t get enough of is dresses. Long or short, I wanted to wear them as much as possible, considering all I pretty much wear in the Winter are pants. Definitely my favourite style of dress is the Maxi dress. It’s elegant, simple, light and easily dressed up.

Shorts were also another favourite of mine, especially my cuffed denim ones and my printed ones. As you can see, a theme is emerging with my Summer outfits: denim vest!!!!! Like I wrote earlier, I just couldn’t get enough of it. Again like with the dresses, shorts also have a short life span here in Vancouver so I tried to wear them as much as possible. I loved wearing them with a top and blazer.

Last but certainly not least I can’t forget to mention my love of skirts. Over the years, I’ve acquired quite the collection. The sample below is only a fraction of the skirts I own. I love pairing them with a tank top and some bling. One of my favourite outfits, turned out to be one that I had never worn before. My striped skirt with a sleeveless polka dot blouse and my wedges. Sometimes experimenting pays off. I’m looking forward to wearing this combination more next Spring/Summer.

Which one is your favourite look? Gotta say it’s a tie between the polka dot blouse and striped skirt and my tulip dress and denim vest.

May this blog inspire you to experiment with what you have in your wardrobe. You’d be surprised at the outfits just waiting to be created.

Looking forward to showing you all my favourite Fall trends. You can follow me on Instagram to see my daily outfits, see what I’m up to and get sneak peaks into my favourite Fall trends.

Today I will feature two absolute must haves for your Summer wardrobe: skirts and dresses. It is not Summer without gorgeous maxi skirts, shirt dresses, flowy skirts and printed skirts. I love that skirts and dresses come in all different shapes, sizes, prints and fabrics. Gotta say my favourite skirts right now are maxi skirts. They pair perfectly with the t-shirts and tank tops from yesterday’s post and you can layer your cardigan, blazers, vests and/or jean jackets with them for a cool Summer night (Monday’s post). The idea is to build on pieces that you already have and to purchase pieces that are affordable. Dresses are the perfect piece to grab in the morning, throw it on with a pair of sandals, wedges or runners and add a cardigan or jean jacket and head out the door. They are no fuss, easy peasy!!!!!! When it comes to dresses and skirts, play around with different lengths, patterns and colours. Summer is the perfect season to wear bold, bright colours!!!!!

So there you have it some fabulous options for Christmas parties and Christmas dinner. Remember the idea is not to break the bank. Before heading out shopping, look and see what you have in your closet. All you may need to purchase is a shiny top or statement necklace.
