WHY I LOVE SUMMER

With the warmer weather, and us Yorkies almost being done school (FINALLY), summer is just around the corner. This means free time, BBQs, frozen drinks, pools, flowers, beaches and so much more good stuff. Of course summer also means a change from our outfits that try to keep us warm to an effortless wardrobe. I mean how easy is it to slip on some shorts and a tank?

My favourite fashions of summer include:


AVIATOR SUNGLASSES- these fun sunglasses add a touch of cool to any outfit. Grab them while you are walking out the door on a sunny day to protect your eyes and add a touch of fun to your outfit. I picked up a great pair for 6 bucks at Forever 21.


FLIP FLOPS- say goodbye to running shoes and boots for the season. It’s time to slip on these comfy shoes. Flip flops are my favourite because they come in any colour imaginable, with any pattern or print, and of course they are super cheap so you can buy a pair for every outfit.


SUMMER DRESSES- I am loving dresses right now, so I love when summer comes around because I don’t need any special occasion to wear a dress. A pretty floral dress can take you from the beach to the club with minimal outfit changes! They are also so flowy and comfortable.


BATHING SUITS- I know a lot of people get intimidated by bathing suits, but I love them.
There is something about their cool patterns and bright colours that have me addicted to buying them. I usually buy at least one bathing suit every summer, so my collection is pretty big right now and my bathing suit can change depending on the occasion. Last year I splurged on a metallic gold one and I love it, I wear it all the time; it was definitely worth the money.


DENIM SHORTS AND SKIRTS- these two bottoms might just be my favourite pieces of summer, but it’s hard to say. There is something about denim shorts and skirts that scream summer to me. They go with any possible shirt you want to wear and are great to wear over bathing suits too. I know I will certainly be adding a few more of each to my closet this summer.


BEACH BAGS- these huge bags can hold anything. Most of them are made from durable materials so you can pack way more than what you would actually need for a day on the beach. I love that you can match them to your bathing suit or outfit too, playing with colours and patterns is some of the fun of summer.


Those are some of my favourite summer fashions, what are some of yours? Remember summer is the time when you are free, adventurous and wild, so apply this to your clothing as well. Don’t be afraid to take chances when it comes to colours, cuts or styles. If you think you can pull it off then you can! It’s pretty hard to have a fashion faux pas in the summer; however I’m telling you now leave the socks and sandals at home.
