Does anyone else remember that "prepster phase" everyone was in just a few years ago? For some of us, this wasn't a phase, and it's a style we will never grow out of.
Nowadays, I walk into stores where I have found myself thinking, "I'm not trendy enough for this fashion."
You won't find me in booty shorts or a crop top any time soon, but you will probably find me wearing one of these classic pieces:
1. Lilly Pulitzer.
You can never go wrong with a bright and happy dress. Everything I own from here makes me feel like a million bucks, and I'd like to keep it that way. (You'll also probably find my future kiddos wearing this brand too.)
2. Jack Rogers.
It seems like everybody and their mother owns this infamous sandal. Despite the breaking-in phase, these are the most comfortable shoes for dinner by the beach.
3. Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt.
Shep shirts are similar to half-zip pullovers, but they make you feel a million times more put together. They come in many classic colors and patterns, and can even be monogrammed! The shep shirt is perfect for chilly summer nights.
4. Floppy Hat.
Bonus points if it's straw and has cursive writing around the rim. Not only will you look cute, but it'lll protect you from the sun!
5. A Big Tote For All The Essentials.
I've had my eye on this one from Barrington Gifts! It's just big enough to carry everything I need for a either a work trip to Starbucks or a day at the beach. Other favorites include Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel.
6. J.Crew Chino Shorts.
These shorts are so comfortable, and can be bought in almost every color and pattern. Not only do they last for years, but they will never go out of style.
7. Navy and White Striped Tee
Another classic. These can be bought almost anywhere, can be worn in any season, and as a part of any outfit.
8. Everyday Necklace.
This can be an accessory that can be worn with EVERYTHING, from norts and a t-shirt to a date night outfit.
9. Statement Earrings.
Out of everything on this list, statement earrings are probably the trendiest. Anything fits, whether they be tassels, hoops, or pom-poms!
10. Big Sunglasses.
Everyone needs a pair of sunglasses, so why not buy a pair you can wear forever! Bonus points if they are tortoise!
Happy Shopping!
