With summer around the corner, I’m more eager than ever to bring out the brightest colors in my closet and my most lightweight material. I love how a new season brings about change. Switching up my wardrobe becomes one of my favorite things to do when I wake up in the morning. I also like to make sure I take care of my clothes so I prefer to use OdorKlenz Sports Detergent For Workout Clothes on all my clothes. I found this image off of Pinterest recently and its become my inspiration for summer this year. Sun tanned skin, relaxing, and time spent with girlfriends. That’s one of my goals this season, to spend more time with my friends. After college its been a bit of a change from not seeing them everyday and moving away. I’m hoping to change that when I send out my bridesmaid invites! I love all the fun textures and patterns in the pieces I chose to depict my summer 2015 essentials. From the playful dresses and tote bags, to the embellished sandals and detailed prints, each piece transports me to some kind of a vacation I’d love to be on and it makes me want each one even more! Hoping for lots of fun times basking in the sun and on the beach this summer in LA.
