When it comes to summer style, mine is ultra casual and laid-back. I love items that can easily be mixed and matched. My go-to distressed denim choice for bottoms is reinvigorated (slightly) with perfectly distressed denim shorts and a casual white top is never far out of reach. Although heels are a mainstay in my wardrobe, in the summer I like to mix in comfortable flats that I can wear to any occasion.

 Perfectly Distressed Denim Shorts.

I tried a few pairs, but this pair by Lovers + Friends are my latest favorite. The perfectly distressed hemline and high-waist fit add a casual yet feminine feel.

Gold Jewelry.

There’s just something about gold next to tan skin. I love metal jewelry in both silver and gold, but in the summer gold dainty jewelry shows really highlights a summer tan. This dainty gold choker is a steal at $30.

 Lace-Up Sandals.

These lace-up leather sandals are my most comfortable pair. I love the delicate leather laces and the open foot helps elongate – a word I rarely associate with flats.

 Mirrored Aviators.

I’m constantly rotating in new sunglasses into my closet, but I can never get enough of mirrored versions. I love the reflection they create – it adds an edgy touch to any outfit. This pair by Quay has been my favorite lately. The oversized fit makes a statement.

  A White Top.

From casual to dressy, I love white tops in any style. This strapless white top has a swingy silhouette for a flirty vibe. The slightly cropped fit makes this the perfect pairing for high-waisted shorts.
