Casual, cool and effortless style. These are three words that are extremely important to adhere to during warmer weather, but more importantly summer style! There is a saying that beauty is pain, but I don’t necessarily agree with it (well, my feet beg to differ – just keep reading). What I am trying to say is that we don’t have to be miserable in the heat or the cold to achieve fashionable looks. This lightweight outfit is the perfect way to cover up from the sun and look cute while doing so! I was out and about in 90 degree weather and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all! The only painful thing about my outfit was breaking in my new heels. Does anyone else get bad blisters from new shoes? I swear every new pair I wear takes a toll on my poor little feet! In that sense, beauty is 100% pain.
Along with the breezy nature of this look, there are some quintessential aspects of this outfit that every fashionista needs to know about! My favorite part about this look is that if you switch out the denim for dress pants, you have a chic work outfit! I love outfits that transition from work to play easily. I wanted to keep my outfit casual so I went with the distressed denim. I got these pair of jeans for under $40 at Nordstrom! Actually, the majority of this outfit was purchased on sale for under $40 – you can shop everything by scrolling to the bottom of this post! Nordstrom haul for the win! My top, which comes in other solid colors, my Cinderella heels, which come in multiple solid colors, patterns, and gold glitter (!!!!) and my dainty necklace were all on sale! I tend to lean more towards silver than gold so that’s why I opted for the silver glitter pair of heels. I wore my minimalist aquamarine and sterling silver bracelet to match the look of my bright blue bag. Jewel tones and precious metals are something we could be seeing a lot of this fall – leave it to this blogger to always be alert for upcoming trends! This summer we saw the takeover of the off-the-shoulder top, palm prints, chokers, and more! I predict that jewelry heavy on stones and style will be a big deal this fall!
Tell me in the comments below, what has been your favorite trend this summer? How do you keep your outfits easy, breezy and cool during the summer?

July 14, 2016taylor–HOWDY! those are some summer words right there!! seriously. “my feet beg to differ” LOL. rolling. girl, i am on the same page as you with heels. i mean… why are they like torture mechanisms sometimes?!?! the things women do to their feet…. seriously! blisters do happen occasionally for me. i find it helps when i use some dr. scholls products like the cushion gels (helloooooo saving the balls of my feet). i know i’m totally showing my age.. with dr. scholls. but i mean you’re wearing some princess glitter shoes, so i hope it was worth it. thanks for sharing this top! i’ve seen it online and def agree that you can wear it with so many bottoms. thanks for sharing and have a good rest of the week beautiful. xoxo,
