As each new season approaches, it’s important to take a look at what you wear most often, what can carry over into the next season, and what may no longer work for you. That’s why I thought it was important today to talk about a few must-have summer essentials for women!
I prefer to have a few capsule items that work for all seasons, which I keep in rotation and have a few different variations to work with.
Also – summer for me may be a bit different or longer then where you live, because Arizona starts to get summer temps around May and doesn’t end until about October or November.
Another thing to note, my wardrobe essentials sometimes blend together because it’s so hot outside and the air conditioners are so cold inside, that it’s necessary to have a summer uniform with a sweater from winter.
Summer Essentials for Women
I keep it light, bright, and airy! And sometimes mix in some saturated colors to give a little variety.
Most summer days, you can find me in a white t shirt, a tank top, denim shorts, rompers/jumpsuits, skirts, or a maxi dress with a slit to allow for air flow!
For nights and the indoors with cool air conditioning, I keep a denim jacket or lightweight cardigan or kimono handy. Sometimes you can sneak in a pair of white jeans with ballet flats or heel sandals and stay cool.
And when I’m outside or around the pool, it’s a straw hat because I’ve done enough damage to my skin!
Because the kiddos are home in the summer, and have swim lessons at least once a week, while still maintaining all of our other activities a hat is necessary. On the note of swim lessons, a crossbody bag is a staple to carry everything. With super hot temps, my wardrobe essentials are usually on repeat weekly!
– I probably own about 5 of the same white t shirt because it transitions so well and is lightweight.
A white tee is so easy to pair with so many things, and can be taken from morning to night. My favorite way to wear a white tee is with a pair of skinny jeans and ballet flats. These are summer wardrobe staples for me.
– The next thing I always stock up on are easy graphic tanks and tees.
They are good layering pieces when it’s time to put on a sweater or denim jacket but stand alone as a casual outfit option. I love these for summer fashion but also to cross over from spring into fall.
– Air conditioning is no joke when temps are over 100 outside so having a good jean jacket, kimono, or lightweight cardigan are a must!
Here is a post with some of my favorites!
– I don’t have a ton of denim shorts. But the ones I do have are on repeat!
I like to have a distressed pair for casual outfits and then a rolled pair for a dressy outfit. I recently got this pair of white denim jean shorts I’m in love with!
– A small variation of shorts I wear so often is bike shorts.
They have become super popular this year and you can buy them in just about every color of the rainbow. I did a whole blog post on them for you to check out my favorites here. These are so perfect and ideal for summer style but also work well from spring into fall with a sweater.
– Skirts are high on the list, right along with shorts.
They allow a quick, effortless outfit that can be dressed up or down, and usually transition well into the other seasons. I either do an above the knee fit or a maxi skirt that has a slit or can be tied to ensure airflow happens! Check out some of my faves here.
– I’m so glad jumpsuits and rompers have made a comeback from the 90’s!
As a kid, and for my girls, they were the easiest outfit to throw on and go out the door. If I’m being honest, I sometimes find it hard to fit into a jumpsuit or romper properly these days because I am not the same size in tops and bottoms. Typically, I’m a Small or oversized Medium in tops and a tight Medium or Large in bottoms. That doesn’t stop my hunt for some of my favorite jumpsuits and rompers though! Keep reading to see some of my favorites!
– The most popular outfit I probably wear is a dress if I’m being honest.
Dresses are the absolute easiest outfit for summer, I think. My youngest, Finlee, is obsessed with dresses so much so that I don’t know why I have shorts or tee shirts for her 🙁 Dresses on their own are an outfit, but also can be layered with a denim jacket or a cardigan so easily! A shirt dress is one example that I wear a different variation of each week. Make sure to check out my post here on all of my favorite summer dresses.
– We all know I love my fair share of sneakers (peep that blog post here) but sandals are a close second in my eyes for summer.
Wedges and strappy heels have also been known to make quite an appearance because they do take an outfit up the extra notch. When I’m on the go doing Mom life or managing our rental properties, sandals and flats are necessary!
– Because I’m on the go so often with the kids, it’s important I have a bag that carries everything!
When we travel, I use a carryall tote that usually ends up more full with the girls’ things than my own. Same for summer.
The most important part of a summer wardrobe is being able to mix and match the pieces together. Because there’s such a drastic change from inside to outside, or when you travel to a different climate than you are used to, making sure you have a versatile wardrobe is important. Here are a few style tips for you to choose from or draw inspiration for your own summer wardrobe.
Summer Outfit Ideas
Casual Flower Skirt Outfit
I love embodying the spirit of casual summer with my effortlessly chic floral-print skirt and gray tank top combination. The lightweight fabric ensures I stay comfortable even when the summer heat is at its peak. For a stylish touch on cooler evenings, I throw on a blue denim jacket to elevate my ensemble and provide an extra layer of warmth.
Tie-dye Dress Outfit
:This summer, I’m embracing my bold side with my vibrant and colorful tie-dye dress, rather than a classic white dress. This tie-dye dress is a key piece in my summer capsule wardrobe. The eye-catching pattern and lightweight material make it the perfect choice for outdoor festivals, lively parties, or simply soaking up the sun. I can’t wait to showcase my unique style and flair with this stunning dress.
Pink Beach Outfit
I’ve often reveled in the warmth of summer with my vibrant pink beach outfit. It features a large pink t-shirt, sun hat, and stylish flip flops. The cheerful color and airy fabrics keep me cool and fashionable as I enjoy long summer days by the shore.
Geometric Pattern Blue Bodysuit Outfit
Every time I wear this geometric pattern blue bodysuit I’ve turned heads! It’s perfect for poolside lounging or a fun night out. The unique design and flattering fit make it a chic and comfortable option for any summer occasion. Complete the look with a pair of white sneakers or a straw bag for added style and flair.
Striped Romper Outfit
The versatile striped romper is a must-have addition to my summer wardrobe essentials. Its easy-to-wear design and breathable summer clothing material make it ideal for beach trips, backyard barbecues, or casual outings. I accentuate the look with a cozy red cardigan, adding a pop of color and warmth on those cooler summer nights.

If you follow me over on Instagram, you know that I live for a good Faux Leather Legging, so it should be no surprise that I wanted to share 4 ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings.
In all honesty, I’ve been putting off this post because I couldn’t decide how many and which ways to share! I wear them almost every day. And with everything from sparkly kimonos to sweatshirts and slippers. There is no wrong way to wear faux leather leggings, only the way you choose on that day!
Before we head into it, know, like every other post, this may contain affiliate links and that lets me keep doing this little blog and putting together these ideas for you 🙂
10 Ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings
That being said, I have to say my favorite brand is Spanx faux leather leggings. I hands down probably own at least 6 pairs and I’ve never done a partnership with them! I legitimately love them and think they hold you the best when you want compression.
So, like I mentioned before, you can wear faux leather leggings with literally anything and everything! I’m going to go through what shirts, tops, shoes, sweaters, and boots are my favorite to wear with Spanx. I will also mention a few other places where you can pick up faux leather leggings if Spanx isn’t in your budget.
Let’s get started with the tops to wear with Spanx faux leather leggings.
Tops to Wear with Spanx Faux Leather Leggings
Depending on the print of your faux leather leggings, and how brave you want to be with your fashion, will depend on the top you wear. I love to mix the original print of the faux leather leggings with a floral top. You can see the blog post I did on How to Wear a Floral Top HERE, which one of the ways was with leggings and boots. Another top I love to wear with faux leather leggings is a plain ole white tee. This is the simplest of outfits, but it is one of my weekly go toos! With the white tee, you can literally build and layer anything and everything on top and not worry about it clashing or messing up the outfit.
Shirts To Wear With Faux Leather Leggings
I always do a front tuck or a half tuck and let the rest hang out. I don’t have an issue if the top doesn’t cover my bum, some people do. But that’s not something I worry about. In the summertime, a tank top or graphic tee works well with faux leather leggings especially if you are going for an athleisure look or actually want to work out in your faux leather leggings. If you need an extra layer, don’t be afraid to add a denim jacket, or even a matching leather jacket for an edgier look.
I have been known to wear the leggings in the morning and then not want to change out of them into other leggings, so I just wear them to ride or lift. They hold in place and are like other compression leggings when you need them to stay. Once you are done with your workout, or before your workout, you can wear a cropped top or sports bra. And it can act as your top with your high waisted faux leather leggings. Less laundry, still in style, I’d call it a win win!
How To Dress Up Faux Leather Leggings
I believe faux leather leggings can be a wardrobe staple in an office setting, if you are covering the bum. So think a tunic top, or a longer jacket or shacket. When I was still working in an office setting, you better believe I was rocking a pair of leggings (before the faux leather ones came out) at least 2 days a week. I would create a faux leather leggings outfit with dressy button up tops, a long sleeve dressier top, a jacket, or even a tunic that was longer to keep HR at bay.
Oftentimes, you can wear a cami and a blazer with a pair of heels or pumps to pass as sometimes more dressed up than the guys. If your office is super strict, you can wear a shorter dress than would be allowed at work with the faux leather leggings under to keep you warm and safe from trouble as well.
Any and all tops work!
Now, when we go to dinner for date night, or out with girlfriends, a sparkly cami, a tube top, or even an off the shoulder top will do the trick to show the skin that’s not shown on the bottom half of your body. Any and all tops work for faux leather leggings!
On that note, let’s discuss what shoes you can wear.
Shoes to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
As you can imagine with the different tops to wear with faux leather leggings, there are endless shoes to wear as well. I have over 100 pairs of shoes in my closet and I can honestly say I’ve worn every pair at some point with my Spanx faux leather leggings. I don’t believe I can say that about every other pant I have in my closet. We will break down the different boots to wear next. So I won’t mention those here.
Back in my clubbing and bar scene days, I loved to wear a good pump.
I was also known to take them off when walking to the next bar because my feet hurt. One of those things you get older and wiser about, but also I’ve learned to wear a pump and not take them off. Especially when they make my outfit with my leggings!
Equally, I love a good sneaker and the high top ones really make a faux leather legging pop in a contrasting color. Low top white sneakers give a little peak of the skin around the ankle, which can help break up the color, especially if you are wearing a sweater with them. When traveling, I wear my workout sneakers so I don’t have to pack them. But also because they work so well with faux leather leggings. And no one thinks twice about it. The compression in the leggings helps to keep the swelling down from travel. And the sneakers let me get through the airport and wrangling kids with ease.
Spring, summer, and fall mean sandals are the ideal choice, and with good reason.
The ability to show some skin whether it be your arms, stomach, or collar bones up top is balanced by the skin shown on your feet. Along with this, mules, flats, and loafers make good office shoes to wear with the faux leather leggings easily showing skin that won’t get you in trouble or be uncomfortable. These shoes are perfect for running errands as well.
Now, let’s chat about some boots you can wear.
Boots to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
Because the faux leather leggings hug tight to your legs, they make the perfect choice for boots. If you are someone with big calves and legs like me, you need all the room you can get for your legs, not the material you are wearing. I don’t often wear over the knee boots, or really anything above the calf. But when I do, you better believe it’s with faux leather leggings. Nothing else will fit my leg and the material comfortably. If you don’t struggle like us big legged gals, then you can wear whatever you want with your OTK boots but for the rest of us, let’s stick to the faux leather leggings shall we?
Most days, I do love to slip on a pair of UGGs with my leggings, when I’m in a hurry and wanting to be comfy and cozy. But don’t forget you can also wear chelsea boots, combat boots, and booties too.
Sweaters to Wear with Faux Leather Leggings
Generally, faux leather leggings are form-fitting, so a chunky or oversized sweater is a big win here. But really, if you are looking for a slim-fitting outfit from top to bottom, fitted sweaters also work. There’s really no limit to what and how you wear a sweater with faux leather leggings because they flatter every kind. If you are looking for some sweater inspiration, I wrote a blog post to help you understand which you need in your closet. Many of them are paired with faux leather leggings, and you can find that post here.
Along with Sweaters, you can also wear kimonos very easily with these types of pants, especially if you are wanting some bum coverage. I shared how to wear a kimono with leggings in this post.

Wondering what to wear in Arizona in winter? I’ve got you covered! As a native to cold weather climates, I didn’t think I would ever need a winter coat living in the desert. Owning and managing short term rentals has opened my eyes to a whole world of people asking me what to pack, how the weather is, where things are located, what the best place for food and drinks are, where to take their kids, and many more questions. This is one topic I love talking about because it ties all of the things I do together!
If you didn’t know, Arizona has a winter. And it snows and rains much like everywhere else in the world. We get down to freezing temps at night, and usually up in the 50s or 60s during the day. People come and swim in pools with heaters, ski up north, go hiking around the city, run without breaking too much of a sweat, and walk in peace. Our girls are in club swimming and they swim year round outside. Thus, a parka and winter boots are needed for early morning swim meets — things I NEVER thought I’d wear outside of the Midwest!
What To Wear In Arizona In Winter
Winter Temperatures in Arizona
The winters of Arizona are pleasant for most parts. The temperature during winter mostly ranges from 25-45 degrees Fahrenheit with an average maximum of around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the elevation of the state ranges between 1400 to 5000 feet above sea level, which acts as a climatic control for this part of the country by cooling down summers. And not allowing the temperature to go up during winters. The elevations are the reason for the difference in temperature pattern of winter between Arizona and its neighboring states of California, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico.
Snowfall is rarely seen in most parts of Arizona with exception of Flagstaff where it can reach 2 feet on average per season if not more. This is also the only place where winters can feel colder than in other parts of Arizona. However, in Tucson and Phoenix, the lowest temperature that has been recorded during winter is around -9 degrees Fahrenheit in all likelihood. And hence there is no need to take any special precautions for clothing in these two cities. It should be noted that in higher elevations like Flagstaff and Payson, the chances of getting significant amount of snowfall is high. And hence it becomes necessary to take precautions for proper winter clothing so as to be safe from the cold climate.
In terms of dressing up, there is not much difference in what you may normally wear during winters anywhere else in the country since Arizona’s temperatures are pretty moderate.
The only thing that you need to take care of is the fact that the nights are much colder than the days in this region. So dress appropriately for your nighttime activities. Also, it should be noted that while wearing light colors like white during winter might keep you warm, it also makes you more susceptible to dust and other outdoor elements. So choose carefully what you wear.
For most parts of Arizona, the winter months are very comfortable and unless you are one of those people who gets cold very easily, there is hardly any requirement for residents to invest in winter clothing, such as jackets and sweaters etc. This does not mean that such items should never be bought because it will get cold at night.
I always recommend a light jacket or sweater for the night because when the sun goes down, there’s no heat. It’s important to remember this when you start packing, especially if you plan to travel to see what all of Arizona has to offer, like the Grand Canyon and many of the National Parks for hiking.
As always, there might be a link or two I might get commission from that helps keep this little dream alive, so I appreciate you when you click and shop on my favorite things! The few pennies I get helps in every way to keep me moving forward to find things to share with you <3!
What To Wear In Arizona In Winter
If you are looking for a place to stay for your trip to Arizona, no matter the time of year, check out our short-term rentals, which I’m always adding more and more each quarter! Now let’s get to outfits you can wear in Arizona and what to pack for your Arizona trip!
Casual Dresses
A casual dress is always a staple in the packing list because it can be worn in so many ways. You can wear it in the morning under a sweater or with a coat. And dress it up at night when you want to go out. I love to throw on a hat to help block the super bright sun during the day and also add a little to the look. If you want to pack only 1-2 pairs of shoes, you can pair your casual dress with a pair of hiking or combat boots and save room in your suitcase.
Make sure to pack long and short-sleeved dresses to wear throughout the day and night. You can mix a dress with a fleece jacket or a sweater because the temps allow in the morning and night. During the day, you can opt for a lighter option, or the dress alone.
Sunscreen
Hold up, don’t forget the sunscreen! Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean those rays from the desert sun won’t find their way to your skin. So slap on some SPF and protect yourself from the sun’s sneaky tricks. Wear sunscreen often if you don’t want to end up looking like a lobster, trust me on this one.
Fleece Jacket with Tank Top and flip flops for day or hiking boots for the trail
A fleece jacket is always a staple for early mornings and late evenings. They are warm enough to cut the wind and cold. But light enough to get the job done when temps get into the 60s with sun during the day. And if you pair it with a short sleeve shirt or a tank top, it’s the right amount of warm and cool. You can even use this as a hiking outfit with leggings and boots or casual with flip flops or sneakers. Dress this outfit up by trading in the leggings for a pair of vegan leather joggers like the ones I’ve included in the photo. You will have a bit of texture and shine while keeping you comfy and chic for any event you attend! During the day, you can also ditch the fleece but keep it nearby for later in the evening!
Long sleeved tops and Joggers or Jeans for day time and also night layered with a coat
I don’t know about you, but I love to be comfy, no matter the time of day. The whole notion of Zoom meetings has brought on the ability to have a nice top on and have comfy pants, which I’m a fan of. So I love to wear a jogger or even jeans as a pant. And pair it with a nice white button-down, which looks very professional and presentable yet gives the comfort I’m looking for. You can mix and match these items with a fleece jacket or light coat for evening to dress it up or make it feel casual and warm. Grab a pair of sneakers to keep your feet warm when you are out and about. But for sure put on the slippers or flip flops when you are home! Here are my favorites from Wkndnation.com and they are so easy to wear!
Scarves and Beanies
Who says winter fashion in Arizona can’t be stylish? Add some pizzazz to your outfit with a stylish scarf and a cute beanie. Not only will they keep your neck and head cozy, but they can also add a pop of color or pattern to your overall ensemble. Plus, you can pretend you’re a chic desert explorer while sipping hot cocoa by the fire. Fashion and warmth? Sign me up!
Tee shirts and jeans with flip flops and sneakers
The winter time of the year is still good to wear flip flops during the day and sneakers in morning and night. The perfect pairing is with a tee and some jeans. You can throw on a jacket or sweater on early mornings and cold nights to keep the chill away. As well as easily shedding layers when you go inside to warmer places. This outfit lends itself to easily running errands. Taking the kids or dog on a walk, or even heading to a casual lunch or dinner with a friend. Jeans are a must for any packing list when visiting Arizona. Because they are a staple in any winter wardrobe cold or warm. If you need some sneaker inspiration, check out this post of some of my favorite brands.
Alternatively, you could pop on a skirt and wear booties with a tee shirt for a warmer day. And keep a sweater or jacket close by. This is a great option especially if you are going to lunch or even a work meeting when you don’t have to be outside a lot and can change for the evening temperatures.
Faux Leather Leggings and tee or sweater
By far, my most worn outfit of all of winter, because it’s so versatile. Spanx and other brands of faux leather leggings can be dressed up with some heels. Or even made casual with hiking boots and sneakers to hike the red rocks. They get me from drop off to late nights of swim practice. And everything in between with a sweater and a t-shirt. I love how they hold me in but also how they actually can help keep you warm. Sometimes more-so than jeans. You could even wear them to go skiing up north because they are so well made. Start your day with leggings, a sweater, and some boots. Hit mid day and shed the sweater or jacket and switch for sneakers or flip flops. And then finish the day with another sweater or jacket, and some heels for dinner and drinks.
Hiking Shoes
If you plan on exploring Arizona’s beautiful landscapes and hitting up those hiking trails, a good pair of hiking shoes is a must. Trust me, your feet will thank you for the support and grip they provide. Plus, they’ll keep your tootsies safe from any prickly cacti you might encounter along the way!
Or in my case, a swim parka and warm boots!
This outfit makes it easy to look put together or get out the door asap with a few simple things. You could pack only faux leather leggings in your suitcase and wear them daily. And for going out and never have the same outfit. Make sure you own at least one pair of the Spanx leggings. They are worth EVERY penny! I own nearly every pair they make and love them all equally. And are the most worn pants in my closet. They also work for warmer days as well as cooler days depending on the top and shoe you choose to wear.
Snug Socks
Finally, don’t forget about your precious feet! Treat them right with some snug socks. Look for pairs made from cozy materials like wool or thermal blends. Not only will they keep your piggies warm and happy, but they’ll also make sure your feet are ready for any hiking adventures or walks through picturesque Arizona towns.
I hope this post helped you decide what to wear in Arizona in winter!
Arizona winters are a bit of a paradox. It’s cold but also warm. It’s sunny but also dry. And it’s a great time to visit Arizona’s many attractions, from the iconic Antelope Canyon to the beautiful Sedona. But what should you pack for Arizona winter? Here are a few suggestions:
First, Arizona winters can be chilly, so make sure to pack some warm clothing. A light jacket or sweater will do the trick. Secondly, Arizona is known for its hot summers, so don’t forget to pack your bathing suit! Even in winter, you may find yourself wanting to take a dip in one of Arizona’s many pools or lakes. And lastly, Arizona is a great place to hike and explore, so make sure to pack your hiking boots and some comfortable clothes. With these essential items, you’ll be ready to enjoy everything Arizona has to offer during wintertime!
If you’ve been around here long, you know I’m a big fan of the loose, flowy, and boho fashion trend. I also like to dress up and be fancy, but I’m wearing something boho whenever I can if I have the choice.
I enjoy the relaxed feel of a Boho outfit and how it can be chic yet trendy. It lets me express my earthy personality with a touch of glam. I can’t get enough colorful flower prints or neutral-colored skirts with fringes, white peasant tops, and cute brown leather sandals.
I love that it can be essential, straightforward, and at the same time add a layer to your fashion expression. It’s worn to absolutely every occasion, just with a few style tweaks. Whether you’re going on a date, a family dinner, or a mimosa day with girlfriends, there’s always something in the boho-chic fashion that fits the occasion.
Here’s a guide that covers the boho-chic style manifesto. It’s to give you more fashionable options and more outfit ideas that you can use on your next shopping spree.
Boho Chic Style Guide
Today, we’re gonna unleash our inner free spirit and dive into some awesome Boho Chic ideas that’ll have you looking effortlessly stylish in no time. Want to take a trip down memory lane and dive into the fascinating history of boho chic style?
Let’s dive in:
What is Boho Chic Style?
Boho comes from the word bohemian which describes the fashion style of the hippies and the free-spirited from the ’60s and ’70s era. This style is identified with peasant blouses, flowy dresses, tiered skirts, and wood-based accessories, with beads and fringes. Usually, it’s colorful, but there’s also the neutral-colored ensemble.
Chic accentuates style and elegance and is borrowed from French in the late 19th century.
In the early and mid-2000s, the Olsen twins, Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, were all about the elegant hippie fashion style while donning the natural look.
The core of the boho-chic style is a balance between neutral basics and hippie-inspired.
Boho Chic Fashion Essentials
Nowadays, fashion houses, models, and influencers are still including boho-chic in their styling. Let’s see what are considered boho-chic fashion essentials to achieve that hippie luxe look. When I think of boho chic, I instantly think of anything from Free People, and for a more glam and more mature look, I think of Johnny Was.
Dresses
Maxi dresses are totally boho chic, with their loose fit and A-line cut. It sure ticks the box. To add romance and feminity, choose an off-shoulder with a prairie design or an eyelet fabric with half-length sleeves. The floral dress is another staple.
Tops
Go for peasant tops; whether it’s white, lace, solid-colored, printed, or embroidered, it’s a must-have for your bohemian wardrobe.
The fit should be loose and relaxed. It could be three-quarter, half-length, bishop style, bell, or trumpet for the sleeves.
Bottoms
This variety comprises flared pants, cutoff shorts, or a flowy printed skirt; then, you’re in on an excellent boho vibe. Boho chic bottoms emphasize flouncy skirts with flared silhouettes and mixed prints. They range from paisley, floral, Aztec, and any variety of bold, colorful patterns.
If you think something is too much to be boho, think again. If it’s flowy and has a relaxed vibe, it’s boho and probably super comfy too! I love boho chic because I can be very comfy and still look put together and nice when I don’t want to put in much effort or wear restricting clothing.
Footwear
Suede ankle boots are a big boho-chic hit, along with gladiator sandals. Usual options for this are those with wood accents, and neutral earthy colors like beige and brown.
If you know me, you know footwear is one of my favorite ways to accessorize, and I spare no expense when I see a pair of shoes I love. Lately, I’ve been loving everything MOMO New York has been making, and I get so many compliments when I wear them too! These boots are in my cart right now! –>

Whether you opt for bold prints or stick to a more neutral palette, boho clothing allows you to create a look that’s uniquely you.
Strut that Maxi Dress
A mixed-print pretty maxi dress is the epitome of boho-chic fashion. Make it off-shoulder with bell sleeves, and it’s a sure winner. An elegant neutral-colored bag goes so well with this. This is the best one-and-done outfit around and you will be sure to be comfortable and stylish!
If you get chilly, you can always throw on a kimono or jacket which will also tie the look together very effortlessly.
Flaunt those Flowy Fabrics
If you’re a fan of Vanessa Hudgens, you might know that she’s a fan of music festivals, and her festival style is always on point. When it comes to dressing for a music festival, floral print is always a good idea. Try incorporating a floral print scarf top into your festival outfit for a boho, yet chic, look.
Whether you go for a flowy and loose-fitting silhouette or a more structured silk or linen option, a scarf top is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Plus, it’s perfect for those hot summer days when you need to stay cool and comfortable while still looking cute. So next time you’re getting ready for a music festival or just a fun day out in the sun, don’t forget to add a floral scarf top to your wardrobe!
Wear them Ankle Boots
While wearing maxi dresses, maxi skirts, or skinnies, wear ankle boots to partner up during fall and winter. Not only do ankle boots give your outfit an extra stylish edge, but they also keep your feet warm and cozy when the temperature drops! Pair your favorite maxi dress with some sleek ankle boots and you’ll be ready for those chilly autumn nights or even a casual winter brunch date.
When it comes to rocking a maxi skirt, ankle boots are the perfect choice to add a touch of effortless coolness to your look. And if you’re a fan of skinnies, ankle boots help to balance out the proportions and create a chic and streamlined appearance, making you feel like a fashion superstar!
Style with Sweaters and Cardigans
So, we’re talking about loose-fit knitwear here, which is like the ultimate boho-chic addition to your wardrobe. Seriously, it’s the perfect combo of comfort and style. Anyway, let’s talk about outfit ideas. Picture this: you start with your trusty white top (can’t go wrong with a classic), then you add on that fabulous loose-fit knitwear. Now, here’s where it gets fun. Pair it with a colorful or mixed-print maxi skirt or even a cute mini skirt. You do you, girl! To complete the look, don’t forget to grab a fringed bag because, let’s be real, fringe makes everything better. Now you’re totally ready to conquer the world with your effortless style.
Don’t Forget the Floppy Hats
Floppy hats are a for-all-season boho chic styling. You can pair it up with a sundress with cute strappy sandals. It’s also a go-to for jeans and peasant tops, and throw in a cardigan to your arsenal.
Speaking of hats, have you ever tried wearing a wide-brimmed hat? They’re perfect for adding some extra flair to your boho chic outfits! Pairing a wide-brimmed hat with a sundress and strappy sandals is an effortless way to create a fashion statement while staying comfortable. For a more casual look, try throwing on a floppy hat with your favorite jeans and peasant top, and add a cardigan for those chilly days.
Don’t forget, the wider the brim, the better the shade! Adding a wide-brimmed hat to your wardrobe will not only keep you fashionable but also protect you from the sun’s harmful rays.
