What To Wear: For A Day In The Park

Butterfly Earrings (so cute!) / Open Cube Bracelet / Duo Stone Bracelet / Striped Top (pairs perfectly with white jeans too) / Sunglasses / Camera / Pouch / Fedora / Croquet Set (so fun!) / Shorts / Essie Borrowed and Blue / Sandals / Picnic Basket
When it comes to summer I feel like there is something I just totally missing. Summer has never been my cup of tea. I build it up every year and convince myself that summer will be this magical time that will involve doing all of these fun outdoor activities, dining al fresco, and getting plenty of Vitamin D. But in reality I avoid being outside like crazy in the summer. I reserve outdoor fun for spring and fall. Ah, fall I am counting the days until your arrival.

There is no denying that during the last month I have been staying inside as much as possible to avoid the extremely hot weather. I am crossing my fingers that this weekend will be different. The weatherman is promising me surprisingly early fall-like weather this weekend and I am holding him to it. An outdoor picnic sounds like a perfect activity to include in my birthday weekend. I think I may have featured this striped top on here before but I really love it and think it is a fun go to piece for casual summer days.

P.S. Have you ever played croquet? I haven't but I am convinced that if I owned this croquet set it would be one of my favorite activities for when I'm hosting friends.

What To Wear: Summer Casual

Summer is easily when my style is at its most casual. I tend to stick to simple, easy pieces that I can slip on quickly and that will keep me cool like this romper and these sliders. You will also never find me outside of my house in the summer without a pair (or two) of sunglasses. Do you ease into a more casual, relaxed style during the summer months too?

What To Wear: To Game Night

Color Block Sweater / Ticket To Ride (one of my favorite games!) / 7 Wonders / Julep Nail Polish - Marjorie / Earrings (great for everyday wear) / Boyfriend Jeans (amazing fit) / Ring Set / Loafers / Tote
Lately I have loved hosting game nights. Jessica and I have a cousin who collects board games and in the last few months we have learned about dozens of board games we never knew existed. Game nights are great for spending quality time with friends and I honestly rather spend time with my friends in one of our homes over a loud restaurant. We order pizza, set out a few snacks, and then spend a few hours laughing, talking, and eating while playing games.

During these evenings I always opt for something casual like great fitting boyfriend jeans and a comfy sweater. If a game night was being hosted at a friends house I would add a large tote to carry a few games in.
