Hey friends!
How are you keeping cool this summer? My new favorite summer fabric is linen, especially the new no iron variety! I have invested in several linen pieces this summer. My favorite is a white linen skirt. I can pair it with at least four tops from my summer wardrobe. Just change shoes and accessories to make lots of different outfits for easy weekend getaways!
I live in Florida. It was in the nineties in May and will not cool off until October.
Skirts are just so much cooler than pants of any kind! And while it may not be the most ladylike thing I’ve ever done; I’ve been known to lift the midi skirt and flap it around to get a little breeze going! LOL.
A girl has to do what she has to do! Here are four outfits from this one basic wardrobe piece…
White skirt/tropical print T-shirt/white sneakers
Since I am a Warm Color Code, I use my wood toned bracelets and earrings along with the woven belt to warm up the outfit.
White skirt/pop color top in orange/white sandals
Dress this one up with lots of gold and pearls! Or make it casual with funky multi color beads. Always keep in mind to balance your accessories with your frame size. If you are a petite, dainty lady, keep it on the smaller side. If you are taller and curvy, you need chunkier pieces to create a more balanced profile.

White skirt/ navy and white striped top/ navy and white sandals
Again, warmed up with natural accessories from outfit above. This has become my favorite outfit for summer. Never fails to bring compliments and smiles to everybody’s face! (mine too!)
Create a white column with white skirt/white T-shirt or blouse and white sandals.
I love this one! It’s cool, comfortable and can by casual with just a colorful scarf for when the AC is too cool and fun jewelry. To dress it up I just change to a dressier sandal and use my gold and pearls along with a pretty pashmina for evenings.
Trade out the white skirt for a pair of wide leg jeans or pants in navy and add a navy top for a column. Then you have a creative, casual to dressy wardrobe with multiple outfits for a week. Don’t forget the swimsuit and coverup! But this will all fit in a carry-on. Just roll it to help prevent wrinkles!
You’re set to go! Have fun and let me know where you go!
Always ready for Fashion, Faith, Fun and Food!
