For today's post I wanted to embrace summer fashion. I wanted to share all (or well some) of the looks that make me think summer. These are all looks that would be fantastic for summer, that we would all love to have in our closests to create summer fashion with. When I think about summer fashion I think about...
*Floral Maxi Dresses (or just light maxi dresses in general)
*White- it is such a light, summery color
*Bright Colors- whether it is just pops of colors or a tangerine dress
*Earth Tones- with nature coming to life outside these colors are great to incorporate into your outfits
*Denim- some all denim outfits are just plain wrong, but the denim dress above is simple and elegant
*Cute Swim Suits and Straw Hats

Do you have all of this looks in your closest already? I definitely need to go shopping.

Mauve-lous

One color that I find myself really loving at the moment is mauve. It is like that mauve is a softer color like a light purple. Mauve is a very feminine color to me and it is a color that works with an outfit for any occasion.

Look One

I love how the fabric is folded and gathered in this mauve dress. This dress doesn't have alot of decorations added but because of the way the fabric moves it doesn't look simple and easy. Mauve and gold are a great color combination.

True Blue

After green, my favorite color would have to be blue. There are so many pretty shades of blue such as royal blue, aquamarine, cerulean, midnight blue, navy, robin egg blue, sky blue, turquoise, teal, and the list goes on. With so many options to choose from blue is a great color for any situation.
