Basic Essential Pieces for Summer

Hi guys!

I felt that it would be a good idea to share some of the basic pieces for any summer wardrobe that could be dressed up, or dressed down. I created this set on my Polyvore account. These pieces are very simple, great to mix and match, and complete a summer wardrobe. These pieces can be great for perfecting a certain look you may be going for. 
1. Statement necklace: Statement necklaces are very in this season, and are very large necklaces with lots of flair that can spice up any simple outfit. For example, a plain tank top, and skirt could be completed with a bold necklace. These necklaces are easy to find because they are in just about any and every clothing or jewelry store. My suggestion for a easy place to find these would be a place like Charming Charlie.

2. Simple Black T-Shirt: This item is on the list for the simple reason that every woman needs a plain black t-shirt. You can dress it up with a statement necklace, or dress it down with sneakers. You can throw it on with a pair of jeans and sandals to run to the mall, or you can pair it with a pair of printed pants for a night out. It can go under a blazer, or a cardigan -- literally everything. 

3. Skater Dress: First let me say, I'm not saying just a black skater dress, I'm saying any color/patterned skater dress. These style dresses have become very popular, and are great to dress up or dress down. These dresses can be paired with heels or wedges, or just a simple pair of sandals, or with a denim jacket even for chilly nights. These dresses complement just about everything, and are great for the season.

4. Striped Shirts: These shirts create a nautical look, and are great to go with anything. Stripes have always been in, and make any simple outfit fun. Stripes look great with red lips, too. 

5. Simple White T-Shirt: I don't need to go into too much detail here, because the same things I said about black t-shirts apply for a white t-shirts also. Very versatile. Just make sure you don't spill anything on it! ;)

6. White Jeans: First off, white jeans are for spring and summer only. I am a firm believer that white jeans should be put away after Labor Day, unless it's winter white, and/or is made out of a corduroy material. Otherwise, leave these for the warm seasons. White jeans can obviously go with anything. Personally, my favorite colors to wear white jeans with are black and pink. Of course, they match with anything, but when I wear white jeans, those are usually the colors I pair them with because they are my favorites to wear. White jeans are so classy, and make any outfit instantly say something. 

7. T-Strap Sandals: These sandals are great for completing any outfit. My personal colors to get these sandals in are black, brown, nude, silver, and gold. Also great for completing a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt, a dress or a skirt. 

8. Maxi Dress: Maxi dresses scream summer to me. Maxi dresses whether printed or solid colored are prefect for basically any summer event. They look great with sandals, and wedges, and even look cute knotted at the side. They go with denim jackets, cardigans, and obviously look great by themselves. Whenever you feel you have nothing to wear, throw on a maxi dress! You'll look great effortlessly!

9. Maxi Skirts: Maxi skirts, much like maxi dresses are summer fashion. Printed, or solid, pleated or not, these are great for any summer event, just like maxi dresses. More straight and tighter maxi skirts look good with flowy shirts, and flowy maxi skirts look great with tighter shirts, like a plain t-shirt or tank top, or a printed t-shirt. 

10. Denim Shirt: Denim shirts are great for any season because they go with everything. Denim shirts look good with maxi skirts, straight skirts, white pants, black pants, jeans, sandals, wedges, heels, sneakers you name it. They are super versatile, and complete any season wardrobe. Of course in the warmer season you may want to roll the sleeves up, or trade the denim shirt for a denim vest.

11. Gladiator Sandals: Gladiator sandals are super popular, and can be found anywhere. Like everything else on this list, they can be dressed up or dressed down. Much like t-strap sandals, they can complete any outfit.

12. Floral Printed Dress: Floral IS summer. Floral printed everything is in, and obviously complements the season. A floral printed dress in any colors, whether it's a sundress, maxi dress, skater dress or straight dress is a must have for the season. 


I hope you all enjoyed this post! Feel free to check out my Polyvore account also! :)
