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!"
