It’s hard to believe it’s already May! Now that I have a baby time is passing even faster, if that’s even possible. Lately I’ve been purging a lot from my closet and adding some great staples. Although this jacket is floral it’s really versatile and a new staple in my wardrobe. I was planning on wearing it with jeans and a white cami but the weather was too pretty not to take advantage.

Once the calendar hits March I’m pretty much in spring mode. By now I’m sick of all my winter clothes and ready for light and airy pieces to transition into the next few months. At the start of each season I like to put together some wardrobe staples I know I’ll get a lot of use out of. Items that can easily mix and match with each other as well as other great basics.

By the end of summer, the last thing I ever want to do is my hair. Unless it’s a special occasion, I’ve been air-drying it and extending the time between washes even more than I normally do. Which is great because it’s been taking a beating all summer long. Hats have been a huge savior with this and on our recent trip to Lake Tahoe I ended up packing three for the long weekend. The one I’m wearing is older and sold out but this one is practically identical!

In the summer my style turns as low maintenance as possible. I try to heat style my hair less, wear less makeup and pretty much simplify everything. My outfits basically consist of a single piece whether it’s a dress or romper, sandals and a pair of sunglasses. Of course I’ll add a denim jacket or sweater at night if I need the extra warmth – like I did in yesterday’s post. But I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces that make up my summer outfit recipe.

Do you have a summer go-to?! Thanks for reading!

Over the weekend we headed out to the La Quinta Resort in the desert to celebrate our first anniversary. Neither one of us had ever been there and we were so impressed, it’s such a fun place that we can’t wait to go back to. A weekend just isn’t enough! Like I mentioned before, we wanted to pick a place with pretty much guaranteed sunshine and we had just that! If we had stayed near the beach we would not have been so lucky. #JuneGloom

Anyway… this tote was pretty much the first thing I packed and I will be using it so much this summer! It’s big enough to stash sun block, my kindle, a hair brush and so much more to take to the beach or pool. And just as chic to tote around resort style. This dress matched the spanish style of the resort perfectly… and was super comfortable after snacking all day.

Another little white dress. Are you surprised? This one is perfect for so many things, except anything wedding related if it’s not yours! Ha. Sometimes midi-length dresses intimidate me, but when I paired it with these wedges I felt put together, not stubby. I’m also loving this sleeveless version and think I might need it for summer. My motto seems to be more is more with LWD’s.
