THE PERFECT SUMMER DRESS:

This gorgeous crochet dress is No.1 on my list of 7 summer wardrobe essentials! The material is light and breezy, making it perfect for warmer temperatures. The fit is amazing and the material is also incredibly soft, which is uncommon for crochet material that can typically be quite scratchy. I wear an XS in this stunning summer dress that I cinched at the waist with a trending metallic belt.

CASUAL SUMMER TOP:

This fabulous tank by Michael Stars is next on my list of 7 summer wardrobe essentials. I have several dresses by Michael Stars and believe me when I say this casual summer top will NOT disappoint. The ruching on the sides is so flattering and it comes in 8 solid colors. Throw in the fabulous price point and you’ve got a summer tank that is WAY beyond basic! I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

ANKLE LENGTH LIGHT WASH JEANS:

Light-wash jeans are definite summer wardrobe essentials and this pair is the perfect option! The high waist is very slimming, the fit is amazing and the light wash is ideal for the warmer months. The raw hem gives them just the right amount of distressing for my taste and because they’re from Mother you can count on the quality being beyond compare. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.

GAUZY BUTTON-DOWN:

I wanted to share this incredibly soft button-down shirt with you all because it makes the perfect third layer in a summer outfit like this one. This shirt is the perfect solution when it’s too warm for a jacket but not warm enough for just a tank. It comes in tons of colors ( I also own it in white) and it has a price point under $50! I like to style it tied up at my waist for an easy casual look. I wear a size S and it fits true to size.

FLATTERING DENIM SHORTS:

This fabulous pair of denim shorts by Pistola is next on my round-up of 7 summer wardrobe essentials. My favorite aspect is that the legs are designed a little bit wider, making them super flattering and comfortable. I love the edgy distressing and the wash is right on point. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.

FLAT SUMMER SLIDES:

The last element of my look I want to share is these amazing slide sandals by Sam Edelman. They’ve been selling like crazy and are the perfect summer shoe! The neutral shade goes with everything and they come in multiple other colors. They’re so comfy because of the padded footbed and they’re a great alternative to heels. I find they run slightly big so size down 1/2 a size – I’m wearing a size 7.

WHITE JEANS:

I’ve saved the best for last with this gorgeous pair of white flare jeans! These are the Beverly jean by Veronica Beard and I love this denim silhouette because it’s one of the most universally flattering styles available. They’re high-waisted with a floor-skimming hemline which is the perfect formula for making your legs look MILES long! I’m wearing a size 24 and they run true to size.
