5 Summer Outfit Ideas + Memorial Day Sales

01

Happy summer weekend! The official first day of summer may not be for a few more weeks, but as far as I’m concerned, Memorial Day kicks off all the summer vibes I need to wholeheartedly embrace summer! This is a weekend to cook out (weather permitting), sit by a pool or on a beach with a good book and enjoy family and friends! This will be a low key weekend for our family! We’re planning to grill out on Monday and I’m hoping to work in my flower beds and get our courtyard looking it’s best before the real summer heat sets in! I hope y’all have a great weekend!

Today, I’m sharing a few summer outfits that have been on my Instagram! The first outfit is what I’m wearing on Memorial Day…why not be festive?! For me, summer is about easy living and that goes for my clothes too! All of these outfits ideas are easy to wear with a little fun thrown in…

On Thursday, I went to Wilmington North Carolina, to visit my friend Deedee at her fabulous boutique…Monkee’s!. Monkee’s carries the cutest pieces and there is truly something for every fashionista. The shoe selection is amazing and I wanted one of each pair! I tried on lots of amazing outfits, got to know the girls in the shop, and we all had a really nice dinner together! I purchased this cute and patriotic outfit while I was there and can’t wait to wear it on Monday!

Be sure to check out the Monkee’s website to shop this look and so much more and if you’re ever in Wilmington NC, be sure to stop by!

An all white outfit just screams summer and makes me feel cool even when the temperatures are soaring! I’ve linked similar pieces for and the exact shoes below! (as well as a less expensive pair) I’ve found these sandals to be some of the most versatile in my wardrobe!

Wear these jeans if you want lots of compliments! Why always have the print on top…?

There is nothing more classic than a white blouse with jeans! The blouse I’m wearing from Loft is slightly oversized and easy to wear with anything from jeans to shorts. My jeans are Citizens of Humanity and a classic skinny fit. And…I absolutely cannot get enough of my Chloe platform shoes (they also come in black). The Cult Gaia Bag is from several seasons ago, but still a great summer bag!

How much fun is this mural in Greensboro NC?! I jumped at the chance to have my picture made in front of it! My wide leg jeans paired with my favorite tee from Loft are dressed up with gold shoes and a statement necklace (similar linked). I know you’ve seen this straw bag a million times already, but it literally goes with everything and instantly adds a summer touch to your outfit!
