Hi everyone! Okay, so maybe Florida isn’t exactly known for having seasons, but it’s safe to say that we’re in the thick of summer right now and that airy summer clothes are a must. 

We found a great spot downtown to take photos.  Colorful and old brick buildings.  To me, I think this spot was very reminiscent of Charleston.  I was immediately drawn to this bright red door and this ootd, and I’m excited to share the other photos later this week!

I am a sucker for flowy tops and dresses, which pair perfectly with the heat we’re experiencing.  This top is great with skinny jeans, leggings, and even shorts – experiment to find what works best for you! It comes in black and white and is on sale for under $23.  I am wearing it with a pair of skinny stretch Hudson Jeans and Soludos Lace-Up Espadrilles.   My earrings were under $35 and are dupes for the Oscar De La Renta pair!

Why I’m loving these summer clothes: This outfit just works on so many levels. If you think about summer style, there’s no way you can skim over espadrilles and stripes! So, matching your favorite pair of espadrilles with a flowing cream-colored top is a way to bring your outfit together and stay cool as the wind blowing through your top is a great way to beat the heat.

Make sure you add pops of color to such a classic outfit like I did with my favorite turquoise earrings and a wide hat can really be a high-end detail suitable for any summer outfit.

What are your favorite summer clothes? I’d love to know!
