A Summer of Style | Outfits to Inspire You from Work to Weekend

My goal is always to inspire you, but also share ways to stretch your wardrobe. You’ve probably noticed that the majority of my style posts involve multiple styling options…but sometimes a girl just wants a simple outfit idea!

Especially in Summer, when the pace is slower, and style becomes a little simpler and more minimal. (At least in the Texas heat it does!) So my Summer of Style series was just that…a weekly outfit to (hopefully) inspire your Summer wardrobe! They were easy-to-recreate combinations, to cover all aspects of your life…work, weekend, date night, and lazy pool/beach days.

In case you missed any, or you want to Pin them for next year…here’s the Summer of Style at a glance (or see the full posts here).

(P.S…most everything shown is now on sale!!)

    I’d love to see more “five ways” posts. I love those. Also, transitioning from summer to fall because you know “winter is coming”.

    While I enjoyed Summer of Style, I much prefer the posts with multiple styling options. Seeing a piece styled a couple/a few/or 5 ways gets the wheels in my head turning as to new ways to mix things up from my own wardrobe. That way it’s not as dependent on owning one particular item.
    Thanks Cassie, they all look fantastic on you!
