What I Wore: Summer Outfit Ideas

Summer is in full swing, and my wardrobe has officially shifted into easy, breezy mode. May and June were all about staying cool while still feeling put-together—and of course, having fun with color, prints, and effortless silhouettes.

Denim shorts are my number one staple this summer. I styled them with everything from classic striped tees to breezy linen button-downs. A favorite combo was butter yellow shortalls, a white blouse, and white sneakers—casual enough for errands but cute enough for an afternoon patio lunch.

I also leaned into flowy dresses in fun floral prints. These were perfect for everything from weekend brunches to days at work. My go-to was a gorgeous floral maxi dress paired with neutral slides and gold hoops—simple, breathable, and instantly stylish.

Slide sandals stayed on repeat this season. I lived in tan leather slides and block heel sandals.  They’re so easy to throw on and make even basic outfits look polished.

Overall, my summer style has been about embracing ease: breathable fabrics, minimal effort, and outfits that work for whatever the day brings. Whether it’s chasing a toddler around, weekend travel, or casual dinners with friends, these pieces have made it simple to stay stylish through the heat.
