Summer Wardrobe Update!

So I was scouring the internet the other day for some fashion thoughts and came across a website called College Fashion (collegefashion.net) and I was instantly hooked! One of the articles I am going to reiterate to you guys today is one they have labelled as 6 Must-have Items for summer. Reading through it I laughed because I already own 5 of them and the funnier thing is that I had all these items before this summer!
I want to know if you guys own any of these, your thoughts on these items and if you are going to go out and buy any of them. I have high praise for all the items I own that fall under these 6 headings but would love to know what your opinions are.
Let us begin!

1. Straw Tote
Whenever I see these I instantly think of summer and the beach. I think its the perfect beach bag that can also be worn with pretty much anything. Can you think of anything it shouldn't be worn with? Exactly. These bags come in many natural colours of straw (light yellow to darker brown) and then you get the fun/funky ones that have died colours or coloured ribbons, flowers or bows. I love them all. This is the only item on the list that I do NOT own. So that will soon change!

2. Something Neon
I LOVE COLOUR! Everyone who knows me knows that I love colour and I am not one to shy away. So a dash of neon is something that everyone needs. It can be anything from an accept piece (earrings, purse, shoes) to a piece of clothing (top, pants, dress) but whatever it is embrace it. I have seen neon bathing suits, sarongs, dresses and especially flip-flops. It adds a punch to any wardrobe and brightens up anything. If you are scared pair it with a neutral for a fool-proof look!


3. Floppy Sun Hat
So if you've watched my Favourites Video or looked at any of my fashion photos on my Facebook Page ("Live Life  Your Way") you will know that I have one of these hats from J. Crew from last summer. I LOVE IT. It adds glamour to any outfit. It comes in many colours. You can get a nice black one, straw colour or a bright colour (make it neon! ahaha). This hat is great because the wider the brim the more protection from the sun which is great for me because of my fair skin but no matter what colour your skin you need to protect your skin from the sun. It is both stylish and functional.

4. Colourful Shorts
So summer means shorts and more shorts, but let us expand from denim!! I love my denim cut offs but I also love my purple shorts, white shorts, beige, olive green and all the other colours that I own. Pick a colour that you love and go with it! They are great for adding a bit of colour to an outfit and can be (somewhat) subtle or very bold if you opt for the colour-blocked look.
5. Maxi Dress
One of my first Fashion posts was about maxi dresses and how much I love them. I have two now and you can dress them up or dress them down. They are great for hot days, even though that sounds backwards but if you don't believe me scroll down and read my post on them! This is not the first summer that these dresses have been popular nor do I believe it will be the last. I will reiterate the fact that these dresses are amazing for summer!
6. Espadrilles
These shoes have been revamped and come in a range of styles: flats, wedges, lace-ups and a range of colours and designs. It's easy to find a pair that fit your style and outfit. I have a couple pairs but they are both wedges and I couldn't live without them; I think they are fab. 


So I hope this has helped you guys ! Share your thoughts below!
