Though there's sometimes nothing better than pulling on tall leather boots and wrapping up in a cashmere sweater, I absolutely love getting ready on summer days. I love the lightweight dresses, simple tanks, and slipping on sandals. Every. Single. Day.
It is so hot and humid in coastal Carolina some days that I rarely wear pants during the summer months. I did slip on a cute pair of fuchsia pants paired with a tank (and sweater) yesterday as I knew I would be spending the day in the ALS clinical offices for my sweet grandmother's doctors appointments, but that was definitely an exception.
Today, we spent the day apartment searching in preparation for my possible upcoming move for the new job, so nothing was more perfect than a lightweight Roxy dress. Roxy is not normally a go-to brand for me, but I happened to see this dress at T.J. Maxx and couldn't pass it up! It is so comfy, lightweight, and versatile, and it is great for a casual summer day.
Unless I've had on my gym clothes, I've worn a some kind of dress almost every day this summer. I love my maxi dresses, especially for a date night with the boyfriend or a day out shopping. Those are definitely some of my favorite summer pieces! What's great about a maxi dress is the way you can dress it up or down. Flat sandals and stud earrings give off a casual vibe, but add wedges and some great jewelry, and you have a completely different look!
I'm a fan of Kristin Cavallari's casual summer look. This pairing was from back in 2011, but it could easily be worn in Summer 2013. I love the vibrant print of the maxi, paired with a simple white tee and long gold necklace. She looks effortlessly chic.

What do you pull out of your closet on a hot summer day?

I am in love with summer. I crave the sunshine, relaxing on the beach, and the endless warm weather. This summer has been accented with lots of nighttime summer storms, but that can sometimes be a relaxing way to end the day.
This summer, I've found a few go-tos that are staples in my closet. I've been spending a lot of time by the pool and at the beach, with friends and family, and traveling around NC. For hot Carolina days, I tend to go towards lightweight pieces that are both cute and comfortable -- especially for those days you want to run errands.
1. I have the Roxy Pleated Dress in two different colors. I'm not normally a huge Roxy fan, but I tried this dress on and it is a perfect lightweight for summer!
2. I have on a fedora or hat of some kind almost everytime I know I am going to be sitting outside for an extended period of time. It is so important to take care of your skin!
3. I LOVE this Mara Hoffman swimsuit. So cute.
4. Ray-Bans are a perfect summer accessory. My pair is my favorite.
5. You can't go wrong with this Tory Burch bag. Small crossbody bags like this one are perfect for running errands. I have a similar one and use it all of the time!
6. This abstract romper is a lucky find from Forever 21! I came across it last week and I am so glad it is in my closet! Be casual with a pair of cute sandals or dress it up with some great wedges!
7. These DV-Dolce Vita wedges are great. I tried them on back in the spring and regret that I chose another pair over these.
8. I love how versatile a Longchamp bag can be! I have used mine as a carry-all purse, a carry-on bag for traveling, and as a beach bag.
9. I wear my Tory Burch sandals almost every day. They are so comfortable, match almost everything, and are perfect for the summer!
