With Memorial Day Weekend behind us, the heat is on and summer is on the brain! While most people in Houston dread the summer heat (me included), I can’t help but be excited for the fun that this season brings. A new wardrobe is no exception!
It’s Alyssa here, and it’s time to get a head-start on your summer wardrobe. Check out my Top 10 summer staples below!
Off-the-shoulder and Cold Shoulder
Shoulders are certainly the focal point this summer! It’s one of the most flattering parts of your body and off-the-shoulder and cold shoulder tops are a way to ease yourself into showing some skin when the weather heats up! Check out more of our favorite styles of this trend here.
One-piece Swimsuit
The one-piece suit no longer means you are sporty or are wanting to cover up a “problem area”. A one-piece is the most flattering swimwear look no matter your body type! With fun details like cut-outs or fabrics like crochet for 2017, we see this style being a summer staple for years to come!

Embellished Sandals
Let your shoes do the talking (and walking)! Build your outfit around a statement pair of shoes, embellished with everything from pompoms to crystals and tassels to pearls.
Collage Vintage // Daily Craving
Embroidered Top
The embroidered top certainly has a boho feel, which makes for a great summer look! Florals are the standout pattern for this trend.
Colorful Accessories
Summer and bright, bold colors go hand in hand. Colorful accessories are the finishing touch to your summer outfit, whether it be jewelry, shoes, or a handbag.

Straw Tote
The straw or woven tote is a classic summer bag, but for 2017 is updated with fun adornments like pompoms and embroidered kitchy sayings. They aren’t just for the beach anymore!

Gingham
The quintessential summer print! From tops to swimwear to dresses, gingham is a classic print that has been reinvented in fun ways for summer 2017.
Ruffles
Ruffles are a great way to add a little drama or femininity to an outfit! Whether you pair a ruffle top with jeans or go for a ruffle front dress, make the ruffle the focus by pairing down the rest of your outfit.
Backless Shoe
The shoe of 2017! Backless shoes, including mules and slides, are taking over. Whether it is a heeled mule or backless loafer, this shoe is the epitome of effortless chic style (which is exactly what summer is all about).
Tie Straps
Dresses, rompers, tops, and swimwear get a DIY look with adjustable straps! Could this trend be the next off-the-shoulder?
