Summertime Sunshine

I’m feeling bright and colorful!  Maybe it because I just got back from the Wanderlust Yoga Festival in Lake Tahoe?  Or because I was in Chicago during Lollapalooza’s set up?  Since Austin City Limits Music Festival is around the corner?  Or maybe it’s the influence of summertime sunshine?  Regardless, bring on the color (and floral headbands)!

Adding fun pops of color into your wardrobe helps to keep B&W staples looking fresh and adds versatility.  My latest obsession has been this neon orange kimono from H&M.  You can throw it on with shorts, jeans, leggings, skirts, dresses, and even bathing suits (Confession: I may just have bought it in every color available – I mean, why not?). It is possibly one of the most versatile pieces ever.

Speaking of bright – how fun are these leggings?!  For this look, I paired them with a cool pair of neutral summer wedges.  They are also easily incorporated into your Fall/ Winter wardrobe with closed toe booties or boots!

How about this purse?  Have you ever seen anything more perfect?  It’s the ultimate accessory for any outfit – part clutch, part bracelet – so comfy to carry too.

I’m pretty certain that any summertime sunshine look should be topped off with an oh-so-popular floral headband/crown.  I originally purchased this one for the Wanderlust Yoga Festival, but quickly incorporated it into my accessory arsenal.  You know you need one too.

Don’t be afraid to get colorful and have fun!
