I was helping the adorable Mrs. Jones find a dress a few weeks ago via the tweet. She suggested that I put together a list of ten summer "must haves". I can do that!
A great dress. One that you can dress up for a garden party/cocktail party or dress down and it works for a beach bonfire.
Wedge espadrilles. Sweet summery shoes that are casual but versatile. Plus, the wedge gives a little more ankle stability than a standard heel - quite useful if you've had a little more sangria than normal. :-)
Flip flops. For most of us, beach time (or pool time) is inevitable. A colorful pair of flip flops are fun and useful all season long!
A short sleeved cardigan. There's no hiding that cardigans are one of my fashion staples. They are great for layering, providing a little warmth on a cool summer night and giving a pop of color/a little visual interest where needed.
A multi purpose moisturizer. The summer dries out your skin, ladies! Between warmer air, more sun exposure and the glistening that results {hey, at least I didn't we sweat!}, I need something to not only keep my skin moisturized but provide some SPF too. It's an even bigger bonus if I find something oil-free. :-)
A good mani & pedi. Some of you lovelies get mani/pedis all year long, which is great. Some folks take care of their own nails all the time with is pretty cool too. My theory is that if you get a great mani/pedi at the beginning of each season, it makes it easier for "at home care" on a regular basis.
Sunglasses. I don't take my own advice enough on this...but wear sunglasses! Save yourself from wrinkles around your eyes caused by squinting into the sun.
Cute camis. Summer clothes are supposed to be fun! This cami has great detail and is adorable!
Great shorts. Find some that fit your body, please - I'm begging you! Last year I saw lots of too tight, too droopy and buns hanging out. Please don't bend over and make me look at your bum again this year.
Fun accessories! Lots of color; beachy accents; just FUN!
