Q: What says summer more than a classic white tee, awesome cutoffs, and classic sandals?
A: Nothing. This is perfect.

Throw in a cute and bright little purse, and add an amazing statement necklace when you want to pump up the volume, and you are ready to go this season!

Classic Summer Essentials

Summer is vastly approaching! Today is my last night of grad class until August! (Truth be told, it's a pizza party...) I have less than 2 weeks left of the school year at work before I move on to a new adventure! I'm so close to a summer of mini-vacays and lots of concerts! And on top of it all, the weather is slowly creeping up into the 80s... Summer is on the brink!

I'm pretty sure there are no more classic pieces for summer than a classic white tee, a pair of jean cutoff shorts, and some basic sandals. What are your classic summer essentials?

Floral Pants

1. I need to point out that everything I'm wearing is from Target. 2. How amazing are these pants?! I saw them on a random killing-time-in-Target-and-spending-way-more-than-I-meant-to shopping trip... And had to have 'em! I wore this outfit to a "mini-teaching" final for my math & science education class. And I love them.

Do loud prints, or more specifically, floral pants, terrify you? Never fear, I've got some outfit ideas for you! (By the way, at the time, I had no clue what I could wear this statement piece with other than a plain white button-down, but after putting together these outfits, I think they are totally remixable!)

 By keeping your top neutral and matching your accessories to colors already in the color palette of your print, floral trousers can become a classic staple!

 I haven't dared to try out the palazzo pant trend (let's ignore the cropped versions I used to wear in 2005...) - I'm not sure how the silhouette would treat my opposite of tall body - but I want everyone else to rock these! Keep the accessories simple and the color palette understated and these bad boys are totally doable!

These pants are super LOUD, but by keeping the rest of your clothes fairly subdued and matchy-matchy, these can make a statement without being too overwhelming!

What do you think? Are you down to rock floral pants?
