Summer is here, so what are you going to wear?  Have you had a chance to think about it?

Summer time is really a fun time, especially when you can wear all of your really casual, loose
fitting and funky printed clothing.

And the really nice thing about that is, that you don’t have to give an explanation to anyone about
why you’re wearing what you’re wearing.  After all it’s summer right?  Anything goes!  Or does it?

I find it very interesting that in this 21st century so many people have gotten very, very lax in how
they dress.  I get it, people want to be comfortable in their clothes, nothing too restricting or binding
as well as not feeling or being hot in what they put on.  (I’m talking temperature hot, not looking hot!)
That’s for another time.  😉

Just because it’s summer time, doesn’t mean that you should dress sloppy and not care about what
you’re wearing or what you look like.

Do you know what styles of clothes you could wear on a hot summer day that will make you look
like you know how to dress?  And look cute at the same time.

Here are some really cute ideas for you to choose from

This orange maxi style dress is great to wear even if you’re only going to the beach or swimming
pool and while wearing your bikini underneath it.  You don’t always have to put on shorts and
a T-shirt when you’re heading out to the water.  A dress will be a lot cooler too, it allows the air
to circulate up and down your body.

Are you planning on going to a pool or beach party in the afternoon and don’t know what to wear?
This blue ankle length maxi dress is a great look for when you’re at the party that’s continuing on
into the evening.  This dress is also great to wear if you’re self-conscious about your legs.

Details make all the difference in an outfit.  Take a look at the little detail on the back of this dress,
it has crisscross straps at the back scoop neckline, the straps of the dress are crocheted and
there is a slit on the left side of the dress from the knee down.

For those ladies that want to wear a casual dress with sleeves, here is a simple tie-dye shirt dress
made of cotton.  It has a round neckline, mid-bicep to elbow length sleeve (it depends on how long
you arms are) and the length of the dress comes to the knees.  This dress is definitely comfortable
for those of you ladies that want to be comfortable during the hot summer months.

Not interested in wearing a dress, but you want to cover up your legs when you’re out enjoying
the world around you and visiting friends?  Bermuda shorts is another option for you to wear.
This particular shorts has a tummy-control panel sewn in the shorts for those of you that have
a tummy from having children or other reasons and need (or want) a little help with holding in your
tummy.  White is a great color for summer because white reflects the heat from the sun and keeps
you a little cooler while you’re on the go.

Bermuda shorts are also great for women that have varicose veins that are showing in your thigh
area and are self-conscious about it.  The nice thing about white is that you can wear just about
any kind of blouse or top with it and it can be any color of the rainbow that your heart desires.
After all it’s summer, why not have some fun wearing bright and beautiful colors – it will brighten
your day.

These are just some of the styles that you can wear this summer that will make you look like you
know how to dress and make you feel good at the same time.  Simple, comfortable and not sloppy.
We love that!  And who knows, you might even get compliments from those around you.

For those of you that live here in Hawaii like I do and other tropical places in the world, you can use
these styles of clothing more often than most of the people in the world.  No snow here in Hawaii!

The other nice part about these styles is that they don’t cost a lot.  You don’t have to spend a lot to
look good, you just have to buy the right pieces of clothing that works for your body shape, lifestyle
and budget.
