Oh sweet summertime, I'm so happy you're here! I'm loving your morning runs by the lake, midday Netflix binges and late-night s'more sessions. What I'm not loving? That sometimes oppressive heat that prevents me from wearing my beloved layers, tights and scarves! Yep, like most bloggers, fall and winter are my favorite times of year to dress for. I find it difficult to create interesting outfits when the temperatures soar!
But I'm here today with three ways to keep that summertime look cool and easy while still feeling put-together and stylish!
Fun little details: Whether you're grabbing a cute top or a summer dress, I look for pieces with fun little details like a print or an interesting texture. These pieces hold their own so that you don't need to add lots of layers or heavy jewelry (which can sometimes feel stifling in the heat, am I right?!) to feel finished and polished. I'm loving my new, breezy tank (purchased with my favorite Blended Bloggers while in Toronto) because of the adorable, tiny fruit print!
No-Heat Hairstyles: As much as I love my straightening iron waves, sometimes it is just too darn hot to be stuck under a heated styling tool! Not to mention I usually want to hop out of the shower and head directly to an ice cream date or happy hour on the patio. Cue quick and easy styles you can create while your hair is still wet! My favorite is a pancaked dutch braid slicked back into a low bun. It's a no muss no fuss style that still looks like you put in some effort!
Stylish Slides: Okay, so I'll admit that sometimes buckling sandals feels like too much work when I'm ready to be out enjoying the season. Flip flops used to be my go-to shoe every summer but lately I've been wanting a more elevated look. Slides are the perfect solution! There are no buckles and they are definitely in-style this summer!
If you are looking for the ideal summer slide, please check-out SOAK Slide Sandals. They come in a variety of hues (in metallic, solid or color-blocked). When they graciously offered to send me a pair to review, I chose a solid in Neon Papaya. They provide the perfect pop-of-color to spice up any outfit!
These sandals feel incredibly high-quality and are easily wiped clean. They also provide arch support and plenty of cushion -- so hard to find in cute, flat sandals! If I haven't sold you on these shoes yet, they are recyclable, vegan and made in the USA!
So head on over and check-out all of the fun colors SOAK offers! To sweeten the deal, SOAK is offering my readers 15% off their first order using the code WHIT15. So go on, check them out and let me know which color you would choose!
(A note on sizing: they do not offer half sizes so I would recommend sizing-up if you are in-between.)
I would also love to know how you're staying put-together and cool this summer! Make sure to comment below.
