Keeping a sweater (or three) on hand for summer.
I do the same song and dance this time every year: don’t pack away all your sweaters when you put those fall and winter pieces away. Keeping a few lightweight sweaters handy makes for a functional outfit on those cooler days and night. I love a summer sweater with denim, like these kick flare jeans, a denim skirt, or cutoff shorts. It adds a beach bonfire element to a look; very Jennifer-Aniston-in-a-Smartwater commercial.
I paired this Free People summer sweater (from last season; here’s this year’s version) with these super fun tropical print Dolce Vita slides. They’re a total score, coming in at under $50! The cropped jeans worked nicely on a cooler late spring day, but these slides will play well later in the summer with shorts + dresses.
Shop the look:
I like my summer sweaters oversized; this makes ’em easy to layer over bodysuits, bralettes, and even bathing suits. I know it sounds a bit counterintuitive– a sweater with a swimsuit– but I seriously get so many compliments when I throw on a slouchy, loose knit sweater like this over my suit for a BBQ or bonfire. (It definitely works better for evening poolside activities, of course, when the sun sets and the air cools off.) And you know even though it heats up outside in the summer, those offices and stores stay frosty. A summer sweater is perfect!

Obviously your slides are super cute. And I love a lightweight sweater in the summer. It’s always going to be cold somewhere. This is a cute look.
I am all about the summer sweater! I get cold so easily in air-conditioned spaces so a loose slouchy sweater is perfect in the summer! I love the idea of wearing it over a swimsuit!
Cute sweater!

I keep telling my husband this, but he never listens and always ends up going back down to the basement to dig out some sweaters when the weather unexpectedly dips back down again, lol. I actually never pack away my sweaters, I store them in a separate section of my closet, so I’ll always have them when needed. I love the one you’re wearing here, Free People makes the cutest sweaters. I also love your slides! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

Yes it is good to keep a light sweater like this on hand and I love how this one looks with all the layered necklaces. And the pop of print with the slides pulls the whole look together. Love!

Have a super weekend

I certainly agree about keeping some sweaters in a summer wardrobe. The same goes for sweatshirts , raincoats and trenchcoats too. This is a very pretty asymmetrical white sweater and Imlove the denim jeans. The patterned slides are super cool also.
