Essentials of Summer: Wardrobe

Summer Style.png

I love how even the simplest daily routines are easy to infuse with little pleasures in summer (like cold brew or a ripe peach) even when you have to work. I’m looking forward to a summer filled with picnic lunches in the park, dinners on the grill, and lazy afternoons sipping iced tea and reading my way through a stack of great books. Having a simple wardrobe feels especially important to me in summer, when the last thing I want to be worrying about is what I’m wearing. In that spirit, here are a few items that capture that easy, throw it on and head outside vibe:

A block print headband for holding back sweaty strands

A wide-brimmed sun hat for beach days and long walks

A market tote for carrying picnic makings, beach towels, or farm stand finds

A classic striped top to wear all summer long

A crisp white denim skirt for feeling put-together

Drapey linen sailor shorts for the hottest days

A transporting read for lazy afternoons

A new pair of Birkenstocks to keep my feet happy
