Laid-Back Summer Style
I LOVE wearing jeans and a tee...but I need some new ways to spice up my same ol', same ol' this summer. Any ideas?
This summer, kick your casual look up a notch by pairing plain tees and tanks with chic accessories. This combo is perf for a laid-back BBQ, day outing with your gals or a great way to look cute and stay comfy while you're traveling this vacay.
The Classic
The traditional white tee and jeans with a hip spin! The deep v-neck – accented by the nature-inspired feather pendant – adds interest to the top half, while the dark skinny jeans streamline the outfit. Add super-comfy (and sooo in right now!) mocs to complete this laid-back look.

Cute Colors
For a spunky, flirty look, try pairing denim shorts with a colorful tee. We know – this is all about basics, but add a cute white button down sweater or cardi and you’ll be lookin’ pretty presh. Some bright colored flats will make your outfit pop, too!

Ethnic Flair
The summer is all about relaxed and laid-back attitudes, so why not have your clothes reflect that? A simple white tank matched with some distressed, faded jeans make you comfy chic. The beaded sandals and ethnic-inspired bracelets are a spicy accessory. Some cool shades finish it off and you’re ready to go!
