Summer Style

I’ve added a few new things to my recently cleaned out closet….and they aren’t all black! #momsaysineedmorecolors 😉 At this point it’s no secret that I rely on a couple of style delivery companies to supply my wardrobe. But this month I have a few fun finds from Target and Old Navy as well as a top from Loft! I picked up several things that I’m sure will be on rotation all summer long. Take a look at my summer style…summer style, for me, always starts with shorts! Even when it was still the dead of winter I knew I needed to begin the quest for the perfect pair of denim shorts. I tried on dozens from Old Navy and Target…trying to find something I love at an affordable price. No love. When it was getting close to delivery time, I mentioned to my Trunk Club stylist that I was having zero luck finding denim shorts that fit just right. So…she included a pair in my most recent delivery and what do you know…the perfect pair of denim shorts were right there! ta-da! Ok, they aren’t what I would call affordable BUT I love the fit and I was sick and tired of trying on others and I don’t mind paying more for something I know I will wear and love for a long time.

As a side note, I really hate my mirror situation. There is just no way for me to get decent shots, with decent lighting anywhere in my house! So, sorry you get stuck with awkward bathroom pics that most often include tooth paste splatters! LOL!

Here are some other things that have found their way into my closet…

See, mom…pink and navy!! Yes, I’m sure that ruffle sleeve top is navy and not black! 😉

1. 1. Black linen romper from Old Navy (no longer available in black, but this navy stripe is cute!)
   2. Pink top from Target and denim shorts from Nordstrom
   3. Black dress from Nordstrom
   4. Navy top from The Loft (mine is from the outlet but this pretty blue is available online) and grey shorts from Old Navy
   5. Black maxi from Wantable

About all the black…I really do prefer it. Sure I like color…to decorate with, but to wear…well I just like the way black hides the lumps and bumps if you know what I mean! At one point, I tried to wear different colors, but I was only doing that because other people told me I NEEDED more color in my wardrobe. When I cleaned out my closet all the items I had bought because others said I needed to, went away. I now only buy things I truly love and want to wear all the time…so yes, my wardrobe is made up of mostly black. I have added in a couple of colors here and there. I now own TWO pink tops (one short sleeve and one long), as well as a handful of items in grey, navy or burgandy. In fact right now I am wearing an OLIVE GREEN top! LOL! Wear what makes you feel good…that’s what I hear most often. Now that’s an opinion that I agree with!

I plan on doing a kid’s summer style post soon, so be on the lookout!
