Casual looks for the bright summer sun!

Summer here in Austin can be brutal. We have to stay strong, though! No giving up and looking like we don’t care! There is a way to be cute, casual and cool all at once. These ankle crops and thin baseball tee hit all of those marks. I was able to go out and walk my pup, Gidget, in the worst heat of the day without overheating- miracle!

Plus, I have a massive crush on lime and acid green right now. When it’s paired with navy, I swear I hear angels sing! Add T-strap sandals and gold drop earrings, and you’re ready to go out for Tex-Mex!

Say navy isn’t your cup of tea; lime can be mixed with so many other colors for a refreshing summer look. Check out this lime and turquoise crop top from ASOS. Or this incredible lime, purple and sky blue bikini at Nordstrom Rack. Or how about this one-piece from J.Crew that pairs lime with mint? Really, lime green and it’s more flamboyant cousin, chartreuse, can be paired with just about every other color from raspberry to classic black. It’s just a matter of how bold you think you can go.

What’s your summer go-to?
