Style | Summer Style Recap, Part I

August 31, 2015 by Whitney 32 Comments

Tomorrow is September 1st. Just typing that feels weird. I mean my goodness; the summer has come and gone like that! I do love the fall season, so I’m not complaining. However, Summer 2015 has been quite a memorable one and I’m a little sad to see it coming to a close. But I’m sure September, and the fall season, have plenty of greatness in store! Before we sashay into a new month, let’s take a look at my summer style recap. 

Summer Style

Printed Pants in DC // Sheer in All Black

Summer Style OOTD

Shift Dress & Sunnies // Floral Tunic & Backpacks

I mentioned that I was all about being casual and chic this summer, so I gravitated towards black and white, tunic dresses and jumpsuits (one-pieces). I also play with accessories and hair; always fun to do! I knew this summer was going to be busy, so I styled lost of pants, leggings and practical shoes.  From pageants to road-trips, comfort was my #1 priority.

My summer style was casual and chic; lots of tunics, leggings and shift dresses! #wnjstyle

Always a fan of statement necklaces, I tried to style as many different ones as possible. I mean after all they sit on my dresser begging to be worn, so why not?! My summer style also included backpacks. I’m so glad I gave this trend a try because I honestly LOVE wearing them. Yes, they’re on trend and super cute, but also functional and practical for trips, weekend errands and even casual days at the office.

Joggers & Gold Flats // Tunic Top & Leggings

Short Tunic Dress // Perfect Jumpsuit


 

So tell me, what do you think about my summer style? What styles have you been wearing this summer? Let me know! 

Feel free to catch up with me on Snapchat (@wnicjames) or Instagram to find out more about my weekend. Hubs and I finally moved into our new place and I’ve been snapping and sharing a few pics. Of course there will be a full update on the move later, but until then be sure to link your recent outfit to today’s Personal Style Linkup. Until next time, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

    Excuse me lady, but where is that super cute black dress I commented on? It was so adorable. That was my favorite look. Although, the blue and white two piece runs a close second. The calendar may say summer is winding down, but for the west coast, summer sometimes extends into winter. However I hope that isn’t the case.

    Shout out to you slaying over the summer! I can’t believe it’s September at all!!! I’m ready for fall fashion as well, but not weather for it to get cooler. I’ve been wearing a lot of dresses, printed shorts, rompers, and denim shorts this summer.
