Monthly Musings

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello!

How’s it going?

Today, I’m linking up with Patty and Holly for Monthly Musings. I love this link up because it’s a fun way to answer questions on a specific topic.

This month’s topic is Summer Fashion.

You know I’m no fashionista…and in the summer, I’m mostly wearing workout clothes, pjs, or swimsuit and a cover up…but here we go…

1. Favorite summer outfit?

Besides what I just mentioned above, this two piece set from Shop Style Your Senses is probably my favorite buy of the summer. It’s easy to dress up or down, and it’s super comfy.

This summer feels like the year of the romper, and while I’m not 100% sold that it’s my best look, this one is a go to and easy to wear.

I recently ordered this light-weight cap sleeve sweater, and I love it. It’s an Amazon find, and I wore it two times in Florida with denim shorts.

This week, I remembered these black shorts I bought from SSYS in the spring, and I think it’s a “nicer” look for dinner out.

2. Favorite summer footware?

I truly haven’t changed up my sandals much in the past few summers.

My Birks are still my “go to”…

Then, I mix in the rose gold Amazon slides or gold sandals. I still love the braided heeled sandals I ordered last summer if I need a dressier look. The comfort slides that I’ve had for a few years are still the sandals I wear the most to the pool. (I sized up one size in both Amazon sandals, and half a size in the braided heels)

3. What summer accessories are you wearing on repeat?

I don’t really change up my accessories…I’m still wearing my same bracelets from Daily Gold Co (I never take them off) as well as my Amazon bracelets too.

My favorite pool accessories are this bag from Walmart (I even used it as my carry-on for our Florida vacay…and then used it for the beach)

I have this SSYS swim cover up that I love…

…as well as my favorite one from Amazon that I have in light blue and navy. I picked up both of these last summer, and continue to love them.

4. What do you use for a summer bag?

Like my sandals, I haven’t really changed my bags up either. Again, I love the “summer” Walmart bag for my pool bag.

Then, most days I’m wearing this black cross body, but also brought the quilted belt bag on vacation when I dressed up a bit more but still casual.

I also use this cross body too when I’m a little more put together/less “mom mode.”

5. What summer scents are you wearing?

I also, don’t change my perfume seasonally. I always prefer something light and refreshing. For Christmas, Travis got me Perfect and Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs as well as Juliette has a Gun, and I still love all three.

6. Maxi dress, romper or jumpsuit?

Besides the pink romper above, I also wear the long version too.

7. Favorite summer sunglasses?

I wear this pair almost daily, but they cracked in my bag on vacation.

Hadley still loves the pair she got earlier this summer…

I also love my Quay sunglasses that I got a couple of years ago and wear them often. I wore them to the pool yesterday!

8. Favorite summer pjs?

Hands down my favorite summer pjs are the gauzy pink ones I found at Target last summer. This summer, I bought them again in gray and turquoise.

9. Do you wear white after Labor Day?

I don’t wear much white anyway, but I will definitely still wear my white jeans in September.

10. Favorite summer fashion trend?

Apparently my favorite fashion trend is not changing things up too much…😆

I do tend to wear some brighter colors in the summer…I don’t mind to do that when I’m tan. 😆

What’s your favorite summer piece in your wardrobe?

  1. I think you have great style! I love everything you showed in this post! Are you ready for school clothes? I am not! I really love your big buckle Birks. I love my black patent and my gold ones and will probably wear those to school. I need to get a professional pedicure and a few new things to get me excited to go back to school! Whatever works, right?

    1. I did buy my new planner for school and I always love that. I’m not ready for school clothes but I guess back to school means I can wear dresses in my closet that I haven’t worn much this summer.

      1. Nice! I will just use the free planner we get from the district think and then my personal planner that I already have. I’m trying not to spend much of my own money. We do get an Amazon $250 allowance and I’m trying to make a list for that!

      2. That’s great! We get no such allowance 🙃 I always buy a new planner, pens and desk calendar…& that’s about it. I restock supplies to if needed but I haven’t needed as much these past few years.

  2. Ok I just bought that blue sweater- thank you for sharing- love it on you and I am excited about the color! I know it says navy on Amazon but it looks brighter- like a cornflower blue? Would you agree? Love your summer outfits and style in general 🙂

    2. Oh..and thank you for my “style” compliment . Usually in the summer I’m so basic that when I put in a little more effort, my kids say “why are you dresses up” haha

    1. The sweater was a pleasant surprise. The pjs are great. I was surprised when I went to link them that there are still colors available…I just wasn’t sure. I do size down to medium in them and still have room. Actually, one of my three pairs is a large, and they fit jut a little bigger in the shirt. Anyway, I’ve loved them for two summers 🙂
