Summer is here! It’s averaging around 100 degrees here in Tampa, which means one thing: summer. There is such an effortless, casual vibe during the summer months that makes you want to simplify your wardrobe. During my recent “spending freeze” where I’m not spending money on non necessities from May 1st-August 1st I have really honed in on what I actually wear. Spoiler alert: It isn’t nearly as much as I own. I’ve taken this time to sift through what I actually want to take up my space and get rid of what I don’t.

I’ve compiled this Summer Style Guide to reflect my summer wardrobe. It consists of mostly dresses because it’s far too hot to wear anything else, statement accessories, and the classic summer color palate: red, blue, and white. While a few pieces are summer specific, living in Florida allows me to wear a lot of them all year long.

What is your favorite summer accessory?
