While brands start to roll out their pre-fall collections, I am still holding onto summer. From poolside looks to going out tops, I am shopping for items to wear now. This edition of the Style It series is a nod to the dog days of summer.
Whether you are heading out to dinner while on vacation or going to a celebratory event in town, this off the shoulder printed midi dress is a go-to for any and all occasions. The artisanal print is gorgeous and looks elevated in hues of black and white. I styled the dress for more of a vacation look with a cute seashell clutch and a fun pair of pearl statement studs.
There are still plenty of lazy days left in the summer to lounge by the pool. And it’s never too late to switch up your poolside style. This one-piece swimsuit is a timeless piece. The gathered structure and cutout design gives an appealing detail. With the neutral coloring you can play around with different coverups; bright colors, bold prints. I styled it with this red and brown equestrian print pareo for the unconventional color and pattern. To complete the look I added this ruffle raffia bag for an extra dash of texture and design.
Feeling green! While the rope appliqué at the waist creates a unique, compelling design, the overall look of this linen dress is casual. Something to throw on and go. I decided to elevate the look by pairing it with this fun beaded fringe clutch. Then accentuated the greens even more with these petite drop earrings. I kept the wedge shoes white so the focal point of the outfit is the decorative motif and embellished handbag.
Sleek, chic, and playful! This dress embodies the essence of sophistication, while the handbag brings out the eccentric spirit. The wrap silhouette’s fluidity gives an attractive ease whilst the refinement of the minimalistic color presents luxury. I kept the rest of the accessories simple and classic to complements the elegant aesthetic of the dress. The handbag, however, is the playfulness needed to liven up the outfit; as summer incites our joie de vivre. This is an outfit to wear to a party, date night, or out to dinner.
While not all occasions call for dressier pieces, I like my more casual summer outfits to still feel elevated. An effortless elegance that portrays both comfort and style. These green tailored high-waisted shorts can be a daily wear. While they can be worn with the most laid-back pieces, I paired them with this chic off the shoulder top to elevate and stylize the overall look. I accessorized the outfit with sculpted earrings and an embellished handbag to create more texture and design to the outfit. These gold toe-strap kitten heeled sandals brings out both the informal and the refinement of the outfit.
