Summer Essentials Clothing and Accessories

If you liked yesterday's post, then you should like the post today. I am going to give you a few essential clothing/accessory items and tips that can help you build a summer wardrobe.


A classic pair of black wedges will go with any outfit. It will give you some nice lift. I love wedges because it is a shoe that I can wear with some confidence that I won't break an ankle in!

A simple nude dress can go with many different scarves and accessories. Pair it with a leopard scarf and a black purse for classic elegance, or pair it with some fun, bold jewelry to make it fun.

A classic black handbag (mine also goes cross body!) is a great Summer staple. It goes with everything, and is just big enough to hold your essentials, but not be a huge purse.

I love a cute maxi dress. You could also get a maxi skirt and wear that as well. I love how effortless it is, and how they look great with a simple jean jacket.

Lastly, get a few great scarves. You might not need them during the day but sometimes those summer nights can get chilly. You know I love my leopard scarf. It is classic, and can be worn casually with khakis and a black top. I also love a colorful scarf. It can make an outfit go from "drab to fab!"

Black Wedges: Miss Bisou (JC Penney)

Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
