Sequins and Sea Breezes: Summer Staples

Summer Staples

6/18/2015


Happy Thursday lovelies! The weekend is just around the corner and I don't know about you but I'm definitely looking forward to it. My mom is here today through the weekend so I'm excited to get some relaxing time in with her, maybe get a pedicure and do some shopping. We always end up going down to the outlets when she's hear so I'm excited about that since I only go down there like twice a year at most. The crowds are usually ridiculous and parking is horrible so I try to stay away but I know she enjoys going down there and I love getting the mother/daughter time in so I'll deal with it for her! :)
If you haven't already noticed, I have a serious obsession with stripes. I don't think I've ever met a stripe I didn't like, maybe I was a zebra in a past life or something! So when I saw this top in Zara I immediately picked it up thinking it'd be the perfect summer casual top and I was definitely right! The material is so soft and hangs perfectly, with the not too tight and not too loose fit perfect for those hot summer days. Oh and did I mention it's under $10?! Yup, major score. I actually ended up buying it in three different colors and now I want to go back and get the olive. For this look I kept it really casual (which is my favorite, especially on those 90+ degree summer days) and paired the top with some denim shorts, gladiator sandals and a hat. For someone who lives in Florida you'd be surprised at how sensitive my eyes are to the sun. I have to wear sunglasses or a hat outside on even cloudy days so usually you can see me rocking a hat on the weekends not only so I don't have to do my hair but so I'm not squinting constantly! Plus a cute hat is perfect for brunching which is exactly what I did after taking these pictures! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

    I think this might be the only outfit you could wear in the Florida heat and not be too hot!! I love the fedora and those gladiator sandals are the perfect height!!! Enjoy the time with your mom girl - shopping is always fun! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

    Super cute + comfy, but the cut of the tank is so flattering and those shorts are killer on you! You can't beat classic and casual summer style. :)

    I hope you have such a great visit with your mom and I hope you have good luck at the outlets! Love the striped top, sometimes I feel like tops like that are too loose everywhere, but I like that this one is still somewhat fitted but still casual.
