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!

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.

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).
