Day Outfit

Outfit Details:

top: Madewell

shorts: Loft

heels: Calvin Klein via Nordstrom Rack

bag: Nine West

sunglasses: Ann Taylor

earrings: Chloe & Isabel

Such a simple ensemble, but definitely a solid one for breezy summer days when you aren't dripping in sweat. This outfit can be even more casual paired with my low nude sandals or little flats. I wanted to add a level of chicness to this outfit so I paired my nude heels with it. 

My favorite days during the summer are when the sunshine is bright and warm with a beautiful soft breeze to keep things cool. This kind of day is great for hanging at the beach or on the lake and then popping this casual outfit on for a night out!

Scarf Overlay

A great way to take a casual summer dress to something for a night out is to add a fun scarf to it! 

The tools needed:

scarf

belt

Drape the scarf over your shoulders and lay it in the most flattering way possible. Finish it off with either a skinny belt like I did or show off that waist even more by using a wider belt. 

This overlay can also help with any low cut dresses you may have that you want to wear in a more modest setting. The scarf takes it from va-va-voom to classy with just two steps!!
