Summer is a time for ease. It is a time to channel your “young, wild, and free” and live in the moment. That said, there’s no time to stop and worry about what to wear, or when you’ll have time to stop home to change from your day at a friend’s pool and make it on time to the barbecue you’re attending that night.

We’re half way through the season, which means you’re probably getting sick of the same sundresses you’re cycling through. I’m all about looking cute, and love any opportunity to put on something that makes me feel confident and cool. This means having certain staple items in your closet to be your go-to’s for every warm weather invite. If you do a little digging you’ll probably find these seven things you need to style super easy day-to-night outfits!

Frayed Denim Shorts

They’re cool, cute, comfortable and can be dressed up or down with a simple change of a shirt and shoes!

Quality White T-shirt

I’m not talking a $5 t-shirt from Forever 21. Having a quality white tee you spent a little money on will wear well and last forever. Pair it with boyfriend jeans and cute sandals for a look that can last all day.

A Statement Blouse

It can be a bold color, pattern, or have awesome detailing, but having a go-to top to wear from work to dinner with friends will have you looking polished no matter what you’re wearing below the waist!

Boyfriend Jeans

This style denim is clutch for those days where you’re on the go, but keeps you looking like you’re right off the runway. Paired with killer heels and accessories, there’s no way you can look over or under dressed.
