Must Have Summer Accessories

Summer is just about here but not quiet yet, it leaves plenty of time to stock up on some accessories for summer. Just in time for summer I put together some of my must have accesories, and I also included tips on saving on all of these items. For my secrets on saving money when shopping click here.

First up is a plain baseball cap. I wear baseball caps nearly everyday during the school year, but in my opinion they’re essential to my wardrobe during all seasons. A simple white baseball cap would match anything on days you’re just to lazy to wear makeup or have your hair done.

My second must have are statement earrings. I am obsessed lately with statment earrings because they make a simple outfit exciting and different. To me a perfect outfit is denim jeans or shorts, a simple white tee, statement earrings and espadrilles. That SCREAMS summer to me. So the problem is that statment earrings can be pricy and in my opinion they’re more of a seasonal summer/spring piece. I wouldn’t reccomend Romwe for clothing BUT for earrings you only wear a few times out of the year they have a great selection. Romwe has plenty of dupes for Baublebar statement earrings. Don’t get disscouraged by Romwe’s website, it can be chaotic, you really have to search for a good pair of earrings. I reccomend Forever21‘s as well! Ill attach below the pairs I bought and recommend.

Next up are bandanas. Bandanas are similar to statement earrings in my opinion. They dress up any plain outfit and add a fun touch to your hair. I know Madewell, Princess Polly, Nordstrom and Urban Outfitters have some good ones if you look for them!

My favorite summer shoes (other then my Jack Rogers) are Espadrilles. Everyday I find I pair I am in love with. The pink pair below I recently bought at a local boutique and I’m obsessed. I love the look of them and they’re just so practical because they go with almost everything. The flatform gives an even 1-2 inches to your height, perfect for someone short like me. The pink pair definitely needed some breaking into around the toes but it was well worth it. The pink pair comes in a number of colors. Espadrilles seem to be like last summers Mules trend (which I still love). The blue pair are surprisingly from Forever21, I love the look of them and the navy will go with almost anything.

I found all these pieces through the app Dote. It is perfect for when your’re looking for specific items because it searches for the product through all the stores featured in the app (which are most stores). The app lets you know when your favorite items go on sale and you can reedem coins each day for free shipping and more!

Goodbye August, Hello Fall!

Unfortunately summer is coming to a close and I know any high school or college kid reading this is cringing at the thought of going back to school. Going back to school for me means college, college, college! It’s finally time to apply and prepare for the next chapter in my life. With all of this being said it’s completely necessary to pick out a first day of school outfit, the outfit below is definitely what I’ll be sporting this coming September. I am obsessed with the neutral tones and  the simplicity of the outfit. This outfit is perfect for the transition from summer to fall, it can be worn to school or dressed up for a night out with friends. I try creating very versatile looks so it’s easy to wear an outfit like this to different occasions. One of my favorite things about this outfit is how affordable it is! All of these pieces besides my jewelry is from Forever21! The quality was super surprising to me and the price was an added plus! The Corduroy Mini Skirt was $12.90 and the Ruffle Trimmed Top retailed for $8.90 (in the top go up a size if you don’t want it to be cropped) in total this outfit was around $21 which is a total steal. My accessories include a rose gold ring located on my middle finger that my parents gifted me along with a rose gold diamond band and a Bow Ring also both gifted to me (you can click anything in pink to be directed to the store and product!) Enjoy the rest of your summer! XX

My LOVE for lace!

My obsession with lace and beige evolves more and more each day and based on my previous outfit post I’m sure you can see that is evident. This is one of my all time favorite dresses. The dress has a simple beige color with a pure white overlay. It has a high neck and a bottom that displays a scalloped cut. I love this dress even more based on its affordable price tag. Believe it or not this dress is from Forever 21 and retails for $22.00. Unfortunately the dress is sold out but I found a similar one from Forever 21 on sale for $48.99.
