In continuing my partnership with Jane.com, this month I shopped for summer essentials – things you can’t go through the summer season without! Almost everyone has a vacation planned (however big or small), and if not, there’s definitely a trip to the community water park or pool, or maybe a long weekend getaway. My mind immediately goes to: dressing for a pool day and a summer evening out!

1) Bathing Suit

2) Sunglasses

3) Kimono/Coverup

4) Tote/Bag

5) Necklace and/or Bracelets

One of the top summer trends is one-piece bathing suits – YAY! There are TONS to choose from, and I found that on any given day, even Jane was featuring boutiques with the cutest swimwear options (for kids, too!). I love swimsuits that have details like this one’s lace v-neck. I ended up with a medium, and love the halter-top fit and coverage in the back.

Another thing that can be fun about a summer day at the pool or beach, is finding accessories to go with your look. I added sunglasses (no-brainer) and turquoise – which is a favorite go-to when I wear black or white in the summer. I found a turquoise stone necklace and some stacking bracelets. We can’t forget about a cover-up either. There’s always the option to wear a dress over suits, or throw on a pair of shorts, but I couldn’t get over this flowy white kimono! It is beautiful, light, and airy – perfect for a hot summer day. Lastly, I completed this summer pool & beach look with a handmade basket-weave bag. A girl’s gotta have her phone, sunscreen, and beach towel with her!

Summer Essentials:

Summer Evening Out

My top 5 Essentials:

*Click any item in my list for a shopping link.

1) Sunglasses and/or Jewelry

(I chose both with the cutest fringe earrings!)

2) Tank/Tee

3) Shorts

4) Wedges

(Similar here and here)

5) Bag or Crossbody

High-waisted shorts and knotted tops are all the rage right now. I love the tulip hems, and being that Jane had these pink high-waisted shorts with the cute tassel-tie, I knew they were for me. I decided on a tank (it’s SO hot here!) and put a white bralette underneath. If a bra is going to peek out from under a tank or tee that has low sides, then a lace bralette is the way to go! Take any plain tee or tank and knot it, and you’ve just jazzed up your look in the easiest way!

What can’t you live without on any given summer day? I’d love to hear! Leave me a comment, or come find me on Instagram so we can connect!
