With temperatures reaching above 90 degrees, for 3 days straight, it looks like summer is making it’s way to the East Coast. I’m not a huge fan of scorching temperatures unless I’m on a beach or near a pool, but I’m trying my best to prepare for the approaching season by adding some summer pieces to my wardrobe. As I mentioned in this post, I’m still shopping while in between sizes. This goes for my clothes and shoes so it’s a little frustrating at times, but I’m making it work.

Over the weekend I decided to pull out my favorite pair of pants. I was skeptical about how they’d fit; after all, it’s been more than 2 years since I’ve worn them. Once I figured out they fit, it was on! I paired the flowy pants with one of my new sleeveless tops and threw on the most comfortable pair of sandals, EVER. My black Birkenstocks. Can I just tell you that I’ve been dying to have a pair of these sandals? For years I couldn’t fit shoes/sandals with straps of any kind; even if they were adjustable. They just weren’t comfortable. Fast forward 2 years and I’m down a 1/2 shoe size and I no longer suffer from swollen feet and ankles! #WontHeDoIt
Pardon my excitement… Let’s get back to the outfit, shall we? Pairing 2 loose-fitting clothing items can sometimes make you look heavier than you are. However, if your top has a flattering hemline like the one here, it works. Also if you’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate prints into your summer wardrobe, start with a pair of pants like this and add a solid top. Simple enough, right?
