Summer is well on it’s way. Everywhere you look, everyone is is flaunting their sun kissed tan and effortless beach hair, exposing a carefree demeanor. Crop tops, short shorts, Hollister dresses and t-shirts with a relaxed fit are the essentials every girl has in their summer wardrobe. But if you want to get out of the norm, here’s some of my favorite pieces that can be worn from a casual hangout with friends to a sea side date.
P.S.: I’m a bargain shopper so I can’t guarantee that any pieces from my lookbook are still being sold at their original retail stores. I’m sure you can buy similar pieces from the Forever 21 website with their large selection of items and affordable price. Also, their sale section is a must because they add new items everyday! Happy shopping guys 😀

Look #1: Bohemian Chic
This look consists of a splotched lavender crop top from Urban Outfitters,
a black and toned down green Bohemian inspired trouser
and a grey maxi cardigan if you desire a little bit more coverage.
This is perfect for a night out with the girls or a beach party. The 100% rayon material of the trousers has a light cool feel to it and adds a natural atmosphere to the whole look as well. Tip: The crop top can be replaced with your bathing suit top and your swim bottom can be wore under the trousers for convenience if you’re planning to take a swim after!
Look #2: Rugged Sunset
This outfit consists of a net orange low-high sweater from Urban Outfitters
and a light blue bleached washed shorts with a zig-zag pattern at the edges from Roxy.
This casual look is best suited for gals out there who wants a pop of color. The sweater is breathable due to the netting, and is also great if you desire a top that’s a little see through. You can wear this for your everyday errands such as going to school or shopping at the mall. Tip: Wear your hair in a bun to tie the whole look together!
Look #3: Classic Black
This is a charcoal black halter sleeveless jumper from Hollister
with a plunging v-neck at the front and a very low back.
It has a thin belt at the waist to add shape.
I would wear this to a dinner out with family or a stroll at the park. The simplicity is just striking. This perfect for simple girls who want to make a statement. Tip: With the low plunging back, it is optional to wear this outfit without a bra. Instead, you can wear silicon inserts – from somewhere like LaSenza. You can pair this with your favorite sunglasses!
Look #4: Flowing Radiance
This outfit consists of a chiffon dress that has
regal-like details on its ruffles from Terranova,
a big statement pear necklace from Aldo and
a pink and black 5 inch heels with a detailed bow from JustFab.
If you’re a sweet charming girl that’s looking for sophistication, this is the look for you. Whether you’re going on a date or attending an event, this look is showstopping. Tip: Wear your hair in a low pony tail for added sophistication!
