American Eagle Summer Clothing

My favorite summer time shop would probably American Eagle. I know it is pretty preppy but they have great that lift, slim, and highlight your best assets. I recently purchased a pair of their “Favorite Boyfriends” jeans (the distressed torn up pair). They ran about forty nine dollars. I wouldn’t mind picking up the rest of the line because their jeans don’t do the annoying thing where they get lose after wearing them for an hour. Also their tank tops with lace trim are so appealing I picked them up in every color! They were seventeen fifty but not I believe they are on sale for a mere ten dollars. All of the fabrics here are light and summer heat friendly.

Guess Polka-Dot Tube Top Bikini

My favorite swimsuit for this summer is a black and white polka-dot tube top bikini. The brand is Guess and it originally sold for upwards of seventy dollars in big retail stores. I got this suit for a bargain price at Burlington Coat Factory. I bought this suit because it was a tube top swimsuit. I didn’t want the tan lines of the straps on my shoulders and neck as I am going to be in a wedding this summer. I have received many compliments on the suit mainly because of the unique big polka dots and cute bow in the front!

Wearing White is Sexy this Summer

I believe the best summertime tip I have to offer is wear crisp whites. White is absorbs less heat and when done right is sexy. Think Lindsay Lohan in Georgia Rule. A slim white tank with a little lace detail matched with dark denim skinny jeans is classic. But a daringly short light white cotton sundress will attract loads of attention especial when paired with undone bed head hair (please don’t pair the dress with sloppy flip flops!) Even the lightness of white shorts will camouflage a still yet-to be tanned legs. White extraordinary dangerous when done in a bikini but with the proper precautions (think lined swimsuit!) it will have the opposite sex drooling.

Ruffles, Rhinestones and Kitten Heels

In the summer, cute sandals are a must-have. Styles and materials change each year with the trends, but a few basics can be counted on.

Since I’m on the tall side, I avoid too much of a heel, but in the summer, with a cute sundress, a pair of kitten heel thong sandals are something I reach for time and again. My favorite pair look like classic flip flops, but are made of black leather, have a kitten heel, and have small rhinestones on the straps. They can be dressed up or dressed down.

For a more casual look this summer, I’ll be looking forward to my cute Gap sandals. I loved them so much I got them in two colors, black and tan with gold threads. They are flat, have ruffles along the top of the foot and have an ankle strap around the back. They make my size 10 feet look dainty and cute, and look like something from a higher end store. My first thought when I saw them was “These look like they are from Anthropologie!”

Godet Silhouette Skirt

The godet silhouette skirt is ideal for the summer time. It is designed to suit women of all sizes as this cut flatters the curves. It’s a look that is perfect for the office as it does not look casual instead it’s chic and adds a touch of class to the wearer. This skirt goes well with heels but you can also wear cute ballet flats. Layering is also in this summer as well as dresses made from sheer fabrics. Really high heels are in this summer but you have the option of detailed sandals or thong slippers that go well with brightly coloured dresses and skirts.

Colorful Billabong Swimsuit

I like to wear swimsuits that are colorful. My favorite brand is billabong. Usually I wear swimsuits to the beach, but sometimes I just wear them in my backyard to tan. Usually I get my swimsuits at the mall. They are good quality there and the prices are reasonable. Also, I find that swimsuits that are smaller are more comfortable. That sometimes makes my husband uncomfortable though when I go out like that in public. My girl friends like my swimsuits a lot though. They think it makes me look younger and more attractive. Sometimes when I just want to relax and blend in I wear a plain swimsuit though.

Fossil Black Sunglasses with Rhinestone Heart Detail

My favorite piece of summer clothing is my pair of sunglasses. They are black with a rhinestone heart on each temple, and they’re Fossil brand. I got them at a department store. The sunglasses came with a great little bag that I can store them in when I’m not wearing them, that also doubles as a cleaning cloth for when they get dusty or smudged. When I wear my favorite sunglasses, I always feel so good about myself. Not only do they keep the sun out of my eyes, they help me feel like I’m making a statement: “Hey, look at me! I like to have fun!”

Samoan Print Summer Shirt

Among the many articles of clothing my email penpal from New Zealand has sent me is my favorite summer shirt. It is light tan, collarless, with short sleeves and a short row of black buttons at the neckline. It is from Samoa and the fabric is printed with black markings from that culture. I wear it with jeans or a skirt and it is a great conversation starter. Sometimes I wear it with a black stone necklace from the island nation of Vanuatu, also a gift. The shirt is a light cotton and very comfortable on a hot summer day.

Decree Bohemian Dress at JC Penney

My favorite summer dress is a cutie by Decree. I purchased the sun dress at JC Penney for twenty dollars, a fifty percent mark down. It is very bohemian in a baby doll shape; it came in a faint grey with white, lime, and turquoise diamonds trailing down the front. The bottom of the dress is trimmed with a soft white strip of lace and I love that attention to detail when it comes to the neckline which is white and woven. This delicate dress skims my curves and hides my flaws. The way it can be dressed up and down never ceases to amaze me.

My Perfect Little Hat

I used to work in a coffee shop and because of the health codes, we all had to wear some sort of headwear to keep our hair back. Everyone just wore baseball caps or bandannas but I rummaged through all the thrift stores until I found the perfect little hat. It’s an eggshell color and woven, almost like a really delicate wicker. It’s got just a little bit of a lid on it so it’s great for wearing out in the sun too and I end up wearing it all summer. There’s a little bow near the brim too that makes it just too adorable. And the totally neutral color means I can wear it with basically any outfit.
