Think you shouldn’t wear black in the summer? Think again!
When it’s hot out, black gets a bad rap — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Supposedly it absorbs heat, and there’s probably science to back that up, but I don’t plan on researching that anytime soon 😂 It didn’t stop me from wearing my favorite ATM t-shirt dress all around Italy during one of their warmest summers ever! Yes, I was perspiring a bit, but I have no regrets. So … you think you shouldn’t wear black in the summer? Think again!
In my book, black is always a good choice. It has an understated elegance, and you can actually wear it any time of year. For summertime, just choose lightweight fabrics, like cotton, linen and denim, and you’ll be good to go. Today’s post is about several ways to wear black during the summer months — think woven accessories, lace-up sandals and faded denim. These will give your outfit the perfect warm weather look! Keep reading for some style inspo, a brand new style board, and all the accessories you need to look great this summer. Cheers ☀️
P.S. There was a change of plans this week, but the Saturday Weekend Roundup will be back next week. Also, I just launched my first video on YouTube, and while there is still a lot to learn, I’m pleased with how it turned out! Click here to watch it — and notice that all the outfit links are included in the description. I’d love to know what you think. And, as always, thank you so much for your support ♥️
