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.

American Eagle Flip Flops from Payless

My favorite type of summer clothing would have to be my flip flops. Any other time of the year your feet get stuck in shoes, boots, or heels. However when summer rolls around flip flops become mandatory everyday wear. My favorites are ‘American Eagle’ brand from Payless. The come in such fun bright colors and very stylish designs, all the while managing to be fairly inexpensive. Styles can actually range from simple beach attire or to nicer yet still relaxed evening foot wear. There is just something about a great pair of flip flops, they instantly send a more relaxed and laid back message, which is what summer should be.

Summer Hats

My favorite item of summer clothing for women is the hat. The hat may be a visor, straw hat, baseball cap, or almost any other style, even a cowboy ten-gallon hat or possibly a sombrero. The hat is essential in keeping the harmful rays of the sun off of a woman’s face, thereby reducing her chances of getting skin cancer. The hat provides shade as well so that she does not have to squint so much; this protects her eyes. The hat is also a fashion accessory and can go with any outfit she chooses to wear. The hat will make others envious if they do not have one.
