Summer Trends I Can't Let Go

Summer has always been my favorite season. I'm a July baby, from Texas so that might have something to do with it! When choosing a college I knew it had to have a warm climate, so I chose to move to St. George, Utah. The average temperature is around ninety degrees and it's almost October. It is fabulous and means I get to keep wearing my favorite summer looks for months longer!

Trend 1- The Summer Scarf

I adore scarves and the fact that they can add to any outfit. Do you need a pop of color? Can't find the right necklace? Or just want to add a little fun to an outfit? A scarf is the perfect thing and they come in so many different prints and colors, while you can wear them so many different ways! My personal favorite is the very layered look, wrapped several times around the neck like Jessica Alba here.

This always looks so effortlessly stylish. It's adds instant flare, and a definition of style to the outfit. This is a great casual, yet chic way to wear a scarf. I loved how fabulous this look was on Kimberly Goldson on this Season of Project Runway, episode 4. She was in the workroom with just her blue blouse, but when she walked into the consultation with Nina Garcia she had thrown on this scarf, and amped up the look!

I also like to just throw one over my shirt, or sometimes tie it once in the front, giving it a tie-like feeling. This works best with a neutral colored outfit, and printed scarf. Let the scarf be the fun part and you'll get a lot of attention the brighter and more unique the pattern is.

Paris is a great example of the look, with this simple outfit and bright scarf! 

These are perfect for warm, cold and even in-between weather. I own a lot of scarves and constantly find myself wanting more as they go on sale. They are my go to item to add a little style to a casual outfit and they just make me feel cute! I'll end this trend with an outfit of my own, but there will be more of my favorite summer trends to come!

Here I'm wearing a white pair of LA Idol shorts, a sequined old navy top and my scarf is from Khols. With the warm weather and a day full of classes I just threw my hair up and put on a simple pair of shorts and a tank. By adding the scarf I completed the outfit with a little bit of flare and it took no effort or time. I'm in class on time, looking fabulous!
