So long are the days of rushing to find the perfect outfit before your summer concert, wedding, brunch trip, graduation party, or girls night out. Stack your closet with these summer essentials, and you’ll be so excited to walk out the door in your stylin’ new fit!


Here’s what you’ll need, girl:


1. A flattering bodysuit
      • Bodysuits are our #1 summer piece. Having one of these in your closet gives you endless options! Pair your bodysuit with a flowing maxi skirt, denim shorts, white shorts, or distressed jeans. They also look perfectly edgy under a fun leather jacket on a night out!
      • Don’t be afraid to go with a bold color or pattern. Bold, bright colors, and fun patterns are totally back in style, and we’re getting all the 70’s vibes!

    2. A curve-hugging pair of denim shorts

    • You just can’t go wrong with a good pair of these! Perfectly paired with a floral top or bodysuit, distressed denim shorts give you that edgy, yet effortless look. They’re also a great outfit to top off your swimsuit before heading to the pool or lake for the day.
