straw handbags
if i’ve said it once i’ve said it a thousand times. but it bears repeating. nothing beats a straw handbag come summer. nothing. a straw handbag is always my number one pick for key summer accessories. look for fun details like pom poms for a playful vibe.

hats
the easiest way to protect your face from the sun is with hatitude. straw hats are resort ready and equal parts luxurious and functional. a grosgrain ribbon adds the spit and polish to this woven straw hat with a wide brim.
a crepe knit dress in neutrals will take you any place you want to go this summer in style.
statement earrings
no jewelry lover should be without a pair of statement earrings. they add instant glamor to any outfit. choose from silver, gold, or add texture to your outfit with raffia or wood. there are so many affordable options when it comes to earrings.

You look very chic in the dresses that fall below the knee. The red dress is a stunner.
it’s always a pleasant surprise to find dresses that hit below the knee. although it seems more and more midi’s are being shown. i’ll take it.
Love the Red Dress, hope I can find something like that in Australia
once summer arrives in your neck of the woods look for an eyelet dress. typically, designers always bring out one or two once the temps heat up.
Beth the hat looks stunning on you! Happy Father’s Day to Mr. STyle!
thanks so much, susan! all the boys were in town so mr. style had a fantastic day.
The straw handbag is all wrong for the polka dot dress. The dress is elegant while the bag is beachy and casual. A small clutch in the color of the dress let’s the dress speak for itself
then that’s exactly how you should accessorize this dress! accessories are a great way to personalize any outfit. if you want the dress to speak for itself – go for it!
I love any post with hats–we all need to hatitude! As you said, Beth, they are perfect to shield your skin plus a bad hair day and they look chic.
I love a sleeveless summer dress–I wear them all the time this time of year. These are lovely picks! How’d I miss these posts!? I had to check out several I’d missed–guess I’ve just been busy.
