July 9th, 2019 by Jennifer Beile How to Incorporate Swimwear into Everyday Summer Outfits
As we have swiftly reached the middle of the summer season, I’ve noticed that I’ve practically ended up living in my swimwear during the weekends. A swimsuit can essentially be used as an even trade for a bodysuit, crop, or tank top in just about any summer outfit. Save time and extend your precious summer moments by making your swimsuit the star of your outfit. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ways to incorporate swimwear into everyday summer outfits to take you from the beach to brunch and the pool to dinner!
Double Duty for Your Bikini Top
Pair your two-piece top with a high waist midi skirt for a pool to date night ready look.
Trade Your Bodysuit for a Swimsuit
A one-piece swimsuit is essentially a bodysuit, so why not simply throw your favorite bottoms over your one-piece after you’ve dried off and ready to move on to the next spot? A suit with feminine details, like scalloped edges or ruffle sleeves will add some fun interest to your look.
A Bandeau for a Bandeau
Give your typical bandeau a break and trade it for your swim bandeau top under a sheer top or as a crop to save time going from sunbathing to dinner and drinks.
Sheer Action
Remember that naked dress trend from last season? Throw it on over your one-piece for an acceptable way to wear that hard to style trend out in public.
From Day to Night
Throw on a pair of jeans and accessorize with jewelry and a belt and your simple bathing suit has officially gone from day to night!

June 25th, 2019 by Jennifer Beile How to Use Accessories to Transform a Basic Summer Outfit
Basics are a large part of my wardrobe and on any given day, I am most likely wearing a simple tee and jeans. The summer weather only exacerbates my tendency to live in basics, especially living in California where the temperatures are quite often in the ‘90s causing me to dread getting dressed. The best part about basics is that it is so easy to use simple accessories to jazz up your outfit if you wish. Basic does not have to mean drab or boring and a few simple touches can transform the vibe of an outfit.
Belt It Up
A belt can break up the monotony of a monochrome outfit and add interest to a simple outfit of a tee and jeans.
Hair Accessories
Practical and stylish, adding a hair accessory can jazz up a simple outfit.
Say it With Jewelry
From statement jewelry to layered dainty pieces, freshening up an outfit with various jewelry pieces can take an outfit from drab to fab.
Focus on Shoes
Shoes can make or break an outfit. Choose a pair of bold shoes to take your basic outfit from drab to fab.
Choose a Bold Bag
Let your bag do the talking for you and choose one with a vibrant pop of color or a bold print to pair with you tee this season.
Vibrant Beauty Details
One of the most fun ways to add color and extra pizazz to a basic outfit is with your makeup or nail color. There are so many beauty tutorial channels on YouTube that teach you how to wear vibrant colors and I am loving these bold looks for summer!
