Just Peachy.

For the home stretch of summer, I am breaking out some of my sunniest paisley and floral printed shorts. August is so wonderful because it’s the month that opens the door for us to begin to play with fall fashion trends, but it still encourages the wearing of the whites and brights that summer calls for. Choosing a vibrant print, similar to the ones I have on here, as the focal point of the outfit, is easy this season because the options are endless: florals, abstract graphics, tropical, polka-dot-you name it it’s out there!

I paired these silky Forever21shorts with a woven peach tank, also from Forever21. It adds just the right amount of texture to the outfit and I kept my accessories simple. If you’re looking to snag some last minute steals, I have picked out some more of my favorite printed shorts below- all for under $50!

Slipping from BBQ’s, to work events, to after-dinner cocktails, and everywhere in between, these long days can be tough on your toes, but it shouldn’t mean you have to compromise your style. This comfy and effortless outfit will wear well no matter what the time of day, keeping you looking lovely round the clock!

It’s always a good idea to wear comfortable shoes or bring a pair of heels in your purse for a quick change. Also a statement necklace/ pop of lipstick can really help to dress up the look. However, this navy and white striped maxi dress from Lulu’s, paired with classic NineWest nude wedges, makes for an easy transition, as is, from casual daytime events to dressy summer evening activities.

What’s better than an outfit that feels like pajamas but looks like a chic little ensemble? Nothing. This dress is quickly becoming a go-to for just about all of my summer events. While the styling options are endless with a classic piece like this, I chose to add some classic touches with a blue and gold beaded necklace, a pink Nantucket whale bracelet, my sail-bag clutch, and a white jean jacket from Old Navy for chillier temperatures.

Oh, and check out my new friend, Sam! He saw us snapping photos over at the dog park and quickly stole the show and a bit of my heart. This tiny white fluffy dog followed us around the park, posing alongside me whenever he noticed I stopped. He was a perfect model, making the shoot so much more enjoyable. You never know what your day has in store for you, but with an outfit like this, you know you’ll always be looking you’re best.

While everyone has begun to stir about fall, apple pies and back-to-school season, I simply can’t bare to think about the idea of summer coming to an end. I am one of those people who hangs on to summer until late October. So if we are going by my calendar we are a long ways away. That being said, this look is bright bold and oh so summery, perfect for steamy days like today.

On this Friday, I decided to dress up this adorable romper from TJMaxx by adding my pastel wedges from Lulus. Check out the scalloped detail on the shorts! I can’t get enough of that cut this season. While this could easily be used as a cover-up for the beach, it becomes a great outfit when you add a pop of a heel into the mix. Oh and the best part about this look? The whole thing is under $100.

Hope this inspires you to brighten up your wardrobe this Friday and enjoy the summer sun!
