All Put Together: Surviving the summer
This morning my room felt like a sauna, which means summer is almost here. Yay! The docks are going to open soon. We can hang out on the Green and “do work.” People-watching on Collis porch! I am excited to be done with school — for now. Serious moment over.
After surviving the Hanover winter that reared its head briefly in the middle of April, I’m excited to feel the sun on my skin. Summer is all about creating new opportunities and having fun. With summer on my mind, I decided to write a guide to surviving and looking cute for 13X.
Summer is my favorite season because I get to do all of the things I love and wear all the dresses in the world. People always ask me why I wear dresses. They find it odd because they think dresses are so confining. But they’re so simple. You put one on and you’re basically done.
Try this dress fromNasty Gal. With this colorful and playful pattern, you just need a necklace to complete your outfit. Remember: polyester and rayon materials are popular materials for dresses and tops. On a particularly hot summer day, wear cotton. You’ll avoid unwanted sweat stains.
Summer is all about having fun, so your accessories should be fun too! Your accessories should be fun, cute and colorful, like this Popsicle necklace fromKate Spade New York. Don’t worry if your accessories are a little too bold or colorful. It’s summer!
I refuse to wear anything but sandals during the summer. Flats are too hot, and I hate wearing anything with laces. Why wear flip-flops when you can wear sandals? These sandals fromForever 21are the grown-up version of the jelly sandals that were popular in the 90’s — minus the smell. Like your childhood jelly sandals, you can wear these with almost any outfit. They’re perfect for you to dress up or down. Just remember to take care of your feet and nails!
Since it’s summer, swimsuit season has finally arrived. One-pieces have made quite the comeback this summer. For some reason, people underestimate the one-piece, but it can be just as sexy as a bikini. Try this colorblock one-piece swimsuit byChevron Island. It’s just as attention grabbing as a two-piece.
Cover up with sunscreen! I know it’s summer but you can’t be too carefree! Take care of your skin because sunburn is never a good look.
Have a great summer!
