WHAT TO WEAR: Summer

It’s officially summer in Bloomington, Normal! Although the weather has been unpredictable over the last few weeks, it’s safe to say that our shorts, tank tops and sandals are here to stay. Fashionistas around town are starting to ditch the layers and reveal their favorite fashion trends for the summer.

This Fashionista gave a basic summer look a makeover by using many different accessories to create a boho-chic outfit. The necklace, ring and watch make the outfit more casual, but the real winner is the patterned kimono. Kimonos are a perfect way to dress down an outfit while also providing a more summer-y vibe. The color scheme also matches her adorable tote. It’s the simple things that really make the difference!

What completes this summer outfit is the fedora followed by a fishtail braid. The fedora is a great accessory to bring out in the summer, whether it’s wide-brimmed, straw or even wool. Have it match your purse or your shoes and you’ll be bound to turn heads on the beach or as you’re just strolling through town! The fishtail braid is the essential summer hairstyle. It’s extremely easy to do and is perfect for a humid, summer day. So, put away the hot tools and embrace the natural look!

Since summer is one of the best seasons ever (duh), make it even better by standing out no matter where the sun takes you.

One Simple Change: Wanting to wear an outfit like this on a summer night? Leave the kimono and fedora at home, and throw on a cute pair of heels or wedges!
