21 OUTFITS: Spring and Summer Style Inspiration!

Hey, Ladies! Happy Friday! We all made it! #woohoo

I hope everybody had a great week.

Personally, I had a fantastic week, and I’m so excited to share the wonderful news:

MY SHEAFFER TOLD ME TO FACEBOOK ACCOUNT IS BACK!!!!

After almost 8 full weeks of not having control of my account…

I’M BACK, BABY!

After making the announcement on Instagram and on Facebook, I’ve had lots of questions about how I managed to regain control. Gosh, I wish I knew. Chris and I spent hours and hours over weeks and weeks watching videos, reading articles, and doing everything we learned to do to try to get the account restored. We started countless Facebook chats, opened lots of tickets, and had several friends and family members reach out to Facebook employees they knew to ask for their help. In addition to everything we did, I think we had at least 3 internal tickets filed by Meta employees. And still, nothing happened.

In the end, it seems that my agency was able to establish a line of communication and a contact that eventually led to my account getting restored. So, I’m not exactly sure how it happened, but I am of course incredibly grateful that I now have control again! I love the community we’ve created on Facebook, and I’m just so thrilled to finally be back with y’all. I really wish I had helpful tips or even a contact to pass along to those of you that are dealing with similar situations, but I don’t. I’m so sorry.

NOW LET’S GET TO TODAY’S POST!

I’ve got some new FABULOUS spring/summer outfits for y’all today! I’ve got looks for all sorts of occasions:  for the beach, for a graduation, for a date night, for a girlfriend lunch, for running around town, for just about wherever you are going!

Today’s pieces come from Old Navy, Nordstrom, Amazon, J Crew Factory, J Crew, and Walmart. And you’ll see that there are a handful of pieces that you will see in several of the outfits. I wanted to show that the pieces are versatile and can be used in lots of different outfits!

OUTFIT #1

Are you dying over these patterned shorts? BECAUSE I’M DYING. I think they are so chic, and I of course love that they have an elastic waist across the back and you just pull them on. The entire look is classic.

OUTFIT #2

Pink and orange together is one of my favorite color combos for summer! This dress is DARLING, and I think it looks great styled with the turquoise and gold jewelry. And how about this heart bag!!! And get this… the dress is only $40 and the bag is only $30.

OUTFIT #3

I showed this top in an outfit collage last month. I love the colors, the floral pattern, and the relaxed fit. I ordered it, so I do know it runs large. The size small is still quite roomy on me. These paper bag shorts are a great alternative to denim shorts in the summer. They’re incredibly comfy and look great.

The cognac sandals are the ones I grabbed last year, and I haven’t been able to find anything new that I like as much. They are a great closet staple.

OUTFIT #4

Ladies! These pants are DARLING! I ordered them for myself, I already got them in, and I’ll be featuring them next week. I already took the pics and everything, and I’m telling you, they are too cute for words. So comfy, so flattering, and so unique! I styled them with my good ol’ Madewell tee, and I grabbed a new denim jacket. I really like the light wash and the bit of distressing. I wear a small in the pants and a medium in the tee and jacket.

OUTFIT #5

When taking the pics for a post I have next week, I had just taken the pics for Outfit #4 when I realized I needed to switch out the pants for the paper bag shorts you see below. I paired the shorts with the heeled sandals for a great date night look. You’ll look like you have legs for days!

OUTFIT #6

Now this outfit is fun, and no surprise here, I’m styling it with a denim jacket. Some days I love to just throw on a baseball hat and go, but with this outfit I’ll still look totally put together!

OUTFIT #7

This dress is totally classic, totally chic, and totally fabulous. I’ve shown how to style it two ways here: casually on the left and dressier on the right.

dressy (on right): dress / hoop earrings / bracelet stack / straw foldover clutch / wedges

OUTFIT #8

Now this “outfit” is right up my alley. And it would also make a great Mother’s Day gift basket!

OUTFIT #9

I’m completely smitten with this blouse. The square neck, the puff sleeves, and the floral pattern are all adorable! And the orange shorts are fun and vibrant. How great would this entire outfit look with a golden tan?

OUTFIT #10

I already have this cover up in 3 colors, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t want the pink too. Because I totally do. I own these raffia earrings and think they’re great, and the flip flops have been a summer favorite for years. Strapless 1 pieces are my favorite kinds of swimsuits, and I think this floral pattern is so sweet.

OUTFIT #11

I. LOVE. THIS. OUTFIT.

And yes, I’ve already ordered the blouse and the shorts. #obviously

blouse / shorts (old red) / straw shoulder bag / hoop earrings / layered necklace / bracelet stack / Dior lip oil / TB sandals

OUTFIT #12

I already own everything in this outfit collage except the swimsuit. I guess I need to fix that now because this swimsuit looks FANTASTIC.

OUTFIT #13

LADIES! THIS DRESS! Isn’t it so charming?

It’s from Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James collection, and I think it’s oh so fabulous. Wear it to a picnic, wear it to a brunch, or wear it to a garden wedding. Click HERE to see other adorable items from Reese’s collection.

OUTFIT #14

This plaid popover is my kind of shirt, and I’m thinking it might be your kind of shirt too. 😉 These white jeans are ones you really need in your closet. Soft, stretchy, comfy, and flattering as all get out.

POPULAR OUTFIT COLLAGES FROM LAST MONTH

HOW CUTE IS THIS OUTFIT!

I mean, are you dying over the scalloped shorts? BECAUSE I’M DYING.

The sunglasses are the ones I’ve been wearing from Amazon for the past several years. I have them in black and tortoise, and I wear them in almost every outfit post you see. The raffia hoop earrings are lightweight, adorable, and super affordable from Amazon.

I grabbed this floral blouse when I was at Nordstrom last week and love how easy breezy it is. It’s a super relaxed fit and it does run quite big, so I would definitely size down. I think it’s so fresh with the white jeans, the colorful earrings, and the hot pink clutch!

These shorts are sooooooo good. They have a 5″ inseam and are stretchy, comfy, and flattering like all things Wit and Wisdom. I have a feeling that these babies will start selling out as summer approaches, so get them while you can!

The code STMT20 will get you 20% off of the new Colleen Rothschild Illuminating Tinted eye cream. And ladies….please listen when I say this to you…it’s my favorite new product find probably over the last year or so. Maybe even the last 2 years! I’m telling you that it is AWESOME. I put it on in the morning before I put on my makeup, and it does what it claims….IT ILLUMINATES! It’s a brand new product, but there are already 35 reviews and it looks like every single one of them might be 5 STARS.

It plumps fine lines, calms redness, disguises black circles AND MAKES YOU FREAKING GLOW! And in addition to the glowing, you’re getting all the benefits of an eye cream that’s working during the day. Get 20% OFF with STMT20.

Travel Style is something that I really put a lot of thought into. And while I of course want to look cute, above all else I want to be comfy! This outfit hits the mark!

The performance joggers are the joggers I named a must have back in the fall. I have several different colors, and I wear all of them constantly. They are so soft, so comfy, and so flattering. I wear a small in the joggers. I wear a medium in the tee and a small in the denim jacket. If you prefer a lighter wash, check out this new denim jacket. It looks fabulous.

The sneakers are probably my favorite purchase of 2023 thus far. They are just so dang cute! I love the colors, and I love that they are slip on with the bungee cord laces. True to size for me.

Okay, y’all! I’m laughing so hard. I’m also rolling my eyes SO HARD. See the earrings? Gorgeous, right?

WELL.

Don’t buy them.

When I saved them for the collage, I thought they were $45. However, they are in fact NOT $45. THEY ARE $450. OOPS. I knew they were stunning.

I grabbed the flutter sleeve top in orange for a future post, and I’m totally smitten. (The post went live a couple of weeks ago, and you can see me in the orange one HERE.) It’s easy, breezy, gauzy, and just lovely. I needed a medium in the shirt, the small was way too tight across the bust. These denim shorts are awesome. Click HERE to see them on me (look for the pic with a hot pink short sleeve sweatshirt).

Somebody set me down on a chaise lounge and give me a drink with a tiny umbrella. This outfit collage inspires me.

I think a black suit with a black cover up is such a chic look. Top it off with gold jewelry and a straw hat and you’re all sorts of ready for pool side lounging. The straw hat has excellent reviews. I’ve never had a hat like this, but the reviews are convincing me I need to give it a try!

The flip flops have been my GO TO summer flops for years and years. They are flexible, water resistant, and all around awesome.

I love every single thing about this look.

I own (and LOVE) a red, white, and blue version of the pink striped suit. The fit is awesome and makes me feel great, and the little tie front is flirty and cute. The medium is perfect on me. The colorblock suit is one of my favorite color combos. Both suits are on SUPER SALE.

And how adorable is the sunshine tote. I can hardly believe it’s under $25! And the raffia earrings are just under $12.
