5 Staples needed for Summer!

Summer is here! It feels amazing to finally have pool days and get some sun! I personally have been stocking up on these 5 items below for the summer heat in Nashville and couldn’t wait to share since so many of the items are on sale. I included items from my closet, my favorites and things I purchased while making this post!

1. 1. A Graphic Tee! I always find myself grabbing all the tees I can for summer since they are so easy to throw on for a quick errand or pool day with friends. I picked the one in this post up from Target and have it linked here. There are only a couple sizes left, so I included some other favorites all under $20!
      

   2. Denim Shorts!! While these are a staple for the summer, I wear mine year round when the weather permits. I picked this Topshop Ashely pair up last year in May and have worn them 1000x!! I have tried on so many pairs that are cheaper, more expensive and always go back to this pair and even picked up this Topshop pair during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and have started wearing those now! I would recommend sizing up at least one size, Topshop runs small, but they provide enough booty coverage and end up being the softest denim once you wear them a couple times! I added in the Agolde pairs which are amazing but are pretty pricey. While they are amazing, for the price the Topshop ones do the job!!
      

   3. Bralette: I love wearing less in the summer, as in bralettes instead of regular bras, and got this Lively bralette in a couple weeks ago and can’t seem to take it off! Since I have a very large chest (32DDD), I have a hard time finding bralettes that have straps that won’t dig in and that cover enough to wear out. This one has been a lifesaver for me and I’d highly recommend if you have a larger chest, I’m wearing a M for reference! I linked some other favorites, but to be honest haven’t had a ton of luck with these because of being a larger cup size than most people.

   4. A printed bandana: This trend is so hot right now and I’m loving it! If you find the right ones, you can wear the bandana 4 different ways I’ll list below! The printed avocado one in this post is from Jcrew Factory and only $5 but I’ve also linked some others that are all under $10!
      • Wrap around your bun and double tie!
      • Lay flat and tie around your wrist as a bracelet
      • Pull hair halfway up and tie once around pony tail to keep the long length
      • Roll up and tie around your head to create a headband!
        

   5. Beach Tote! Of course everyone needs a good beach/pool tote for the summer and I always seem to pick up a new one every year, Nathan’s not a huge fan of that!! I grabbed this one surprisingly at Pier1 Imports while shopping for home décor and it has withheld two summer beach trips and countless pool trips! I couldn’t find it anywhere but linked some other good ones that I have and need!
