Discovering My Summer Style
Summer is officially here, and I have to admit, I’m not normally into summer fashion. In fact, I’d venture to say it’s usually my least favourite kind of clothing shopping to do. I’ve never enjoyed feeling like I’m sweating the moment I walk out the door, and I find it really difficult to find cute, and comfortable summer clothing. This year though, I decided enough is enough, it’s time to enjoy not only the summer heat (when I can bare it), but also find some summer pieces that feel like they’re me – A.K.A., comfortable but also really cute! With the start of the season here, I feel like I’ve finally nailed down a few solid outfits that I love, and can work off of with other outfits.
Outfit No. 1: Blue Button Up | Bra Top | Shorts | Slides · Outfit No. 2: Stripe T-Shirt | Jeans | Sneakers · Outfit No. 3: Flutter Tee | Short Overalls | Slides · Outfit No. 4: Dress | Hat | Sandals · Outfit No. 5: Button Up | Trousers | Sneakers · Outfit No. 6: Dress | Sandals
All About the Sundress
One piece of clothing I found myself constantly looking to add to my wardrobe was midi-to-maxi length sundresses. However, I always had an “I don’t work in a fancy office” mentality around purchasing them, and I figured they wouldn’t get much wear, so didn’t buy them. Well, this year, I decided who cares? I’ve definitely bought my fair share of sundresses this year, and I need to chill, but I’ve been eyeing up so many new beautiful ones to add to my collection.
Trousers All Summer Long
Okay, okay, hear me out – trousers are super cute for the summer months if you’re someone like me who burns easily! They’re comfortable, lightweight (if you select the right material), and obviously can be worn in an office with a cute pair of sandals and a button-down. Yes, I know summer is all about shorts, tank tops, and swimsuits, but if you’re looking for something with a bit more coverage that you can dress up (or down), I’m obsessing over trousers this season! Plus, they make a great summer-to-fall trasitional piece in your closet.
Tee + Shorts Combo
Can you really go wrong with a classic t-shirt and shorts combo for the summer months? (The answer is no!) Whether you’re pairing a plain white tee with some denim cut offs, or a flutter tee with some loose paper bag shorts, it’s a comfortable and extremely cute summer look that never, ever goes out of style.
Denim in All Forms
Much like denim shorts, I feel like denim of all kinds is amazing for the summer, including jeans! Yes, I’m one of those people who will wear jeans in the hot months (of course, within reason), especially on a slightly cooler day, or in the evening if it’s not too humid and sticky. But in addition to jeans, I also love denim jackets pretty much year-round, but especially paired with some cute flowy pants in the summer. I must admit though… I’m not in the Canadian tuxedo look myself, but I really can’t resist a cute denim style dress!

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, summer isn’t typically my favourite when it comes to fashion, but I find myself so excited to get a little more into the summer vibes with my clothing this year, and I hope maybe this blog inspired you a bit too!
