Shopping for Summer at Loose Lucy’s

My favorite place to shop for clothing in the summer is Loose Lucy’s. This store is targeted to the “hippie” crowd mainly, but other people enjoy shopping there as well. I like to buy the dresses that they have. They are comfortable and really unique. I donít see many other people wearing the same outfit as me. Most of the brands that are offered are not popular or well-known brands. They also sell footwear, which is very comfortable. The prices are great, usually ranging anywhere from $10-$45 a dress. There are often specials in the store which allows me to buy two items for the price of one. I am excited to purchase more clothes there as it gets closer to the summer months.

Airwalk Shoes from Payless

My favorite summer shoes were purchased at a very reasonable price at Payless Shoes, and bought on an impulse. The brand name is Airwalk. They are canvas slip-ons with white vinyl soles. The fabric is black with white stars. Although they are starting to fray, I am still getting compliments on them. I’m a casual dresser who wears them to church, to town, and any occasion where smart casual dress is appropriate. Although I consider them summer shoes, they were purchased in the fall. I had in mind to wear them to a New Year’s Eve party with fireworks, but I got sick and stayed home that evening.

Dress Age/Body Appropriate

The biggest fashion tip I would give out to women for summertime fashion is to dress for the weather, but make sure you stay age/body appropriate. There are far too many women who are wearing clothes they should have stopped wearing thirty years ago. Also, people often forget when buying clothes or bikinis that they are buying for their own body, not the mannequin the article of clothing came off of. This includes old women wearing string bikinis, overweight women squeezing into skin tight shorts and belly shirts, and many other mistakes in fashion. Just because you are older now, and a trend has passed you by doesnít mean you have to pass it up completely. Take friends with you when you shop that you know will be honest, so they can let you know when you are close to crossing the line into having people stare at you for hours when you are trying to enjoy a lunch with your children. I believe the same thing goes about dressing for your body. If you are short, there are certain clothes that just don’t work for you. Many dresses need to be altered so they hang on your body the correct way, and don’t slip down too far past your knees resulting in a fall look instead of a summer one. Almost anything can be tailored for your body. Please remember to buy the right size clothing as well, instead of trying to fit into something that may have fit you before you had a child. With those two simple tips, I think any woman can have the right style that suits them this summer.

Propet Marina Walker Sandals

My absolute favorite summer footwear is my Propet Marina Walker sandals. In truth I wear them all year long, unless there is snow on the ground! They are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, and I feel they are versatile enough to wear anywhere, for almost any occasion. I wear them with shorts, pants, dresses and skirts. They are white leather, with two adjustable looping straps across the top of the foot, very feminine in appearance but extremely rugged and durable as they are made for walking. I have walked miles and miles in these sandals and have never had any issues with blisters or sore feet. They offer excellent arch support.

I love my sandals!

I Bought My Swimsuit at Rehobeth Beach, DE

My favorite bathing suit was one I picked up at a little shop in Rehoboth Beach DE. I typically get a nice tan during the summer and it’s bright colors seem to bring out my skin color well. It has pastel colors and a matching top and bottom. They have a flowery print on them. Part of the reason I like it so much is the fact it give me so much lift in the front. I feel very confident and attractive when I wear it. I sometimes catch guys looking at me when they walk by on the beach, haha. It ended up being about a $60 cost, but well worth it.

Harley Davidson Sunglasses

My favorite sunglasses are always from Harley Davidson. The perfect design and fit works best for my busy and playful lifestyle. I first started purchasing the Harley Davidson glasses when my husband and I bought our new bike, but now I wear the glasses for everyday driving, working in the yard, and watching my kid’s play baseball. For me these very versatile and durable glasses are always money well spent. I used to have 2 or 3 different glasses for the different things I would do, annoying, but now these seem to work for just about anything. The many lens colors and designs can let you change your look without having to sacrifice the quality of your glasses. All of the glasses also come with a glass cleaning cloth and case. I would recommend trying the Harley Davidson Sunglasses to anyone!

Swimsuits in Flashy Colors

During the summer, I love swimsuits that cover the right places without rising up. Suits that fit snug and flatter my body are the best. They should also be able to tolerate the chlorine, salt water, sitting on concrete, the sun, and multiple washings. The suit should also not be too tight in places. It should have a cute and flattering design.

I particularly like flashy colors. Hot oranges look great on tanned skin. I usually get decent comments on brightly colored suits. Moreover, by making sure your suit fits you correctly saves you from plenty of unneeded embarrassment.

My two-piece suit is a bikini bottom with a halter-top. It helps to secure my bosom and my bottom. I made sure it does not have any white because it can become see-through when it is wet. In addition, I like how the straps are moveable so I can pull them down while tanning.

Flats are My First Choice for Summer Shoes

About three years ago, I used to wear high heels all the time. I used them to go to school, to go to work, to go out on weekends, everyday everywhere. Then, one day, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle (ha!) and I was forced to wear a cast for about three weeks.

When the cast was finally removed I was still in a lot of pain so I wasn’t able to wear heels so I went and bought my first pair of flats. I’m a short girl so I wasn’t keen on wearing those types of shoes; in fact, I kind of hated them as much as I hated tennis shoes. Having to go to ankle therapy and not being able to walk at all forced me to go and buy the flats. The ones I bought were a really cute black pair with a little shiny elbow on top. I started using this shoes quite often and slowly realized that I loved the fact that I was able to walk for long periods of times without getting tired, falling down the stairs, hurting my feet and that I was now even able to run when I was late for class or work!.

Since then, flats have been my first choice for summer shoes. I have a lot of pairs now and especially like the ones that have those really small heels with your toes showing in front. They are quite comfortable, cute and there are models for all kinds of clothes. Ever since then I’ve said goodbye to the high heels and started wearing the ever trendy flats.

Levi’s Sunset Wide-Leg White Jeans

Jeans are my favourite wear with or without summer. I love jeans because the fabric has a tighter weave making it softer and with intricate sewing making them durable and hold shape better. You feel more comfortable as you walk, they are easy to find and shop though they are expensive. I normally go for bright coloured outfits and jeans during summer seasons.

Mostly I shop on designer jeans because of their mix of soft material and stretch that allows jeans to move with you and contour to your body. During summer I normally I prefer the Levi’s Sunset Wide-leg White Jeans because it’s fitted through the hip then flared into the wide leg. They are a warm weather favourite. I love them because it has a cotton composition. Wide waistband with two-button closure and belt loops; zip fly front utility pockets; back button-through patch pockets. It’s easy to wash both hand wash and machine wash. Mid-rise measures approximately 8-3/4 inches, wide leg opening at hem measures 24 inches around and the inseam measure 33 inches.

Every time I walk along the road am stopped by almost 20 individuals with an interest of having a closer look at my pair of jeans. They stop me for interrogations as to where I get my summer jeans from. This is with no doubt that people love my pair of jeans.
I purchased them at a much higher price of $44.00 at the magic of Macys. I wear it when am attending official meetings, on summer seasons and on a picnic with my family.

I Highly Recommed Not Wearing Anything Too Fitted in the Summer

During the Summer Time, I highly recommend not wearing anything too fitted. Tank tops are okay, but sometimes they grip your body in an unpleasing way, and make you look larger than you actually are. Most women are not abruptly skinny, and cannot fashionably pull off just wearing a tank and jeans. Loose tanks, which do not hug your body, are a good call here. I highly recommend wearing loose t-shirts, or blouses which do not hug your body, and give you breathing room. I also recommend wearing a loose shirt-dress with leggings, and flats. Socks and shoes are not a good call in the summer.
