This is pretty much what I have been living in the entire summer:
:: high-rise skinny jeans ::
I wear them as-is with ballet flats, wedges or cuffed with booties.
:: printed maxi dress ::
Always a quick and easy all-in-one outfit.
:: breezy tank shell top ::
The perfect, breezy but still not-super-casual tank shell top to wear over jeans or that skirt and with a topper to head to work or out for an event.
:: striped cotton tank top ::
This striped cotton tank would go well with the skirt or jeans, with or without the topper.
:: casually elegant wrap midi skirt ::
A wonderful wrap midi skirt that can be worn with ballet flats or wedges.
:: a light topper or cardigan ::
A topper for cooler summer nights.
:: long statement necklace ::
A lovely long necklace for the summer to be light and breezy rather than something heavy and flashy.
:: simple minimalist men’s watch ::
A bare watch is sometimes all you need.
:: light summer tote ::
To carry around everything you need plus that water bottle.. or to head to the beach.
:: suede booties ::
Surprisingly versatile, I’m really warming up to these booties with cuffed jeans or with a dress / skirt.
:: classy casual wedge sandals ::
Always amps up ANY outfit, the minute you slide these on.
:: ballet flats ::
A staple shoe.

I’m with you – except the skinny jeans & booties – way too hot in summer for me to have something skin tight! But I wear shorts which I know you don’t, so that’s an option (always more ‘tailored’ styles though). Booties – my feet get so hot (I can manage boots for work but even in summer I try to avoid them too often.)

I wear booties for the summer because this one has been particularly cool… otherwise you’re right, they can be stifling.

Thank you! I actually really hate shorts, but you can sub in shorts instead of a skirt 🙂

I love that ballet shoes. I’m a big fan of flat shoes, I feel very comfortable whenever I wear anything as long as it flat shoes.

Me too but heels once in a while is nice.
