Happy Friday! It does not feel like we are officially one week into summer, but here we are. I put one of these posts together last year, and I had a lot of fun doing it. Summer is my favorite season, and my favorite part of my closet. Having a set of staples for any season is a great way to be able to create many outfits that make you look and feel your best. I know that this summer is a lot different than any other summer, but I have still been wearing the favorite seasonal pieces I have with me in PA. I hope to dive into my summer bucket list (safely!!) soon, and need some great summer looks to go with it! Even if summer is staycation-ing the backyard, it doesn't mean you can't wear your summer best to do so!
SUMMER ESSENTIALS:
SUMMER ESSENTIALS:
Striped maxi dress- This has been my favorite summer dress for one year now. That's right, I still love it after one year of having it. I wear it at least once a week, it is that good. Unfortunately, Gal Meets Glam Collection is closing, but you can still get this dress (in blue or pink) before they do so in early August. You will be missed, GMGC!
Striped shirt- A summer staple that was in my summer post from last year. I wear it all the time! J. Crew always seems to have it on sale, too!
Gingham Swimsuit (top, also here+bottoms)- A good swimsuit during this season is necessary. You want it to make you feel comfortable, and to make you feel confident. I love a high waisted bikini for this, and this gingham one from Draper James X Land's End is high on my wishlist!
Wicker bag- See my post from last year for the bag I own and adore. I could not find that bag this year, so I linked one that is just as summer ready. I think a wicker bag is the perfect addition to any summer outfit (I even carried mine into earlier fall last year).
Navy shorts- Another repeat from last year! I love the high waisted sailor style. The best pair of navy shorts I have found, are from J. Crew Factory a few years ago. They have not brought them back, but these ones are pretty similar.
Sun hat- This is for the fashun, and the sun protection. I love a big bow on a sun hat. Don't forget your sunscreen, too!
White dress- I just got this one in from the LMF X Target collection, and it is the perfect LWD for summer! It can be worn so many different ways, and the eyelet is classic. If you are a tall girl like me (I'm 5'9"), you may want to size up for some extra length! I would normally wear a small, but got a medium in it.
Printed dress- You could go a lot of directions for a printed, fun dress, but this ric-rac one from Jenn Lake's new collection with Sail to Sable was calling my name! I also love a floral, a toile, or a gingham dress for summer! It is nice to add a pop of something different to your wardrobe.
Jack Rogers- I ordered these Jacks last month, and love them. I do love my classic Jacks, but it is nice to mix it up. Again, another repeat from last year!

Espadrilles- I think you can wear espadrilles with any outfit during spring and summer. The feminine lace up around the ankle is a great detail, and they are so comfy! You bet, I am going to wear mine around the back yard this year! These are also a classic that will never go out of style, so you can wear them for years and years!
Happy summering, friends! What are your go-to's for summer?
As always,
