Hey, Ladies! Happy Friday! We all made it! #woohoo
I hope everybody had a great week.
I’ve got some NEW and FABULOUS summer outfits for y’all today! I’ve got looks for all sorts of occasions: for the beach, for a shower, for a date night, for a girlfriend lunch, for running around town, for just about wherever you are going and whatever event you might be attending! These OUTFIT PLANNING posts have without a doubt become my favorite posts to create!!! They take a sweet forever, but I truly enjoy finding all of the pieces and then putting them all together into different combos that I would love to wear. Putting the outfits together is sort of like a puzzle, and I really enjoy the process!
Today’s pieces come from Nordstrom, Gap, Old Navy, 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. You’ll also see pieces you’ve seen before on the blog both on me and in other outfit planning collages. I also like to show that the pieces are versatile and can be used in lots of different outfits!
Let’s kick things off with this date night outfit. I love every single piece individually, but I really love all the pieces together. In fact, I was so inspired that I went and ordered everything but the bracelet stack (that I already had) in order to recreate the outfit in a future post. You’ll see the turquoise earrings throughout today’s post, but the site only shows that they have 30 in stock, so grab them now if you want them. At only $24, they’re a total steal.
The wedges have fantastic reviews and really make a statement, and the straw bag is under $40!

This entire outfit is right up my alley.
I CANNOT WAIT to receive these knit drawstring pants, because I of course ordered them. The reviews convinced me that I didn’t have a choice. There are only 5 reviews, but all 5 are 5 STARS! They are 100% cotton, and everybody says they look great and are so comfy. I think they look like a step up from regular joggers, and I am officially intrigued. I’ve paired this white blouse with them, but I originally thought the blouse was just a soft cotton. Now that I see that it’s eyelet (you can see this better on the site), I’m not sure the eyelet is the look I want to wear with these pants. I’ll probably go with something a little bit simpler when styling the pants, but I went ahead and ordered the top because you know I rarely say no to eyelet.
I already own the bag, the earrings, the bracelet stack, and the sandals!

I’ve got 3 top options in this look, and one of them is the eyelet blouse from above! You can see I styled it here for a festive July 4th outfit. I also grabbed the navy eyelet top for myself, and I think the smocked top is a really fun option as well.
The blue star earrings, the red, white, and blue bracelet stack, the Ruby Woo lipstick (the perfect red), and the blue and white circle tote are all perfect and easy to wear when styling holiday outfits. The lipstick (Ruby Woo) is my favorite red. I first tried it years ago when a Nordstrom makeup artist told me it was the perfect blue/red that looks great on all types of skin tones. (I don’t like a red that leans orange, and this one doesn’t at all.)

I’m not a hat girl, but if I was, I would definitely get this sraw hat. It has over 600 reviews, and almost 80% of them are 5 STARS! People love this hat, and several people posted photos of them wearing the hat in their reviews. The sunglasses, tile bracelet stack, earrings, and bag are all from Amazon.
I love how bright and cheerful this outfit is. Pink and green together is always a no brainer for me.

Here are the turquoise earrings again, and I think they look awesome with one of my favorite bracelet stacks (this one is under $15!). The flutter sleeve top is from Old Navy. I love the neckline, the flutter sleeves, and the mustard check pattern.
I’ve had my eyes on these colorful sandals for a while, and now that they are on sale, I could no longer resist. The cognac version have been my most worn summer sandals both this year and last, so I’m excited to add this sassy pair to my closet! I already own and love the white denim shorts and highly recommend them. Click HERE to see them on me on my denim shorts review post.

This sundress is stunning and looks so special. It’s definitely a splurge, but if you’re going on a beach vacation this summer, it just might be worth it!
The straw tote and the orange sandals are both ON SALE (and both come in other colors), and the earrings and bracelet stack are super affordable. If you’re a regular reader, you know I wear this bracelet stack alllll the time.

LADIES! HOW CUTE IS THIS OUTFIT!
I’m obsessed with the colors and pattern in the skirt, and I love it styled with the bright pink sweater and turquoise earrings!

Here’s another super special dress. The colors and the pattern are so unique (I’ve always loved pink and red together), and I love how the entire outfit came together with the matching earrings, the matching poms on the tote, and the raffia sandals. I think everything looks very high end.

I first featured this plaid top on a post last week where I styled it with denim shorts (click HERE to see the top on me). I love the top, so when I saw the matching skirt, you know I threw it in my cart. I’m hoping that the two pieces look great together as a matching set, but if they don’t, I think the skirt will also look good with a plain white tee or tank and denim jacket.

Take me to the beach. The end.

POPULAR OUTFIT COLLAGES FROM LAST MONTH
The hat and the tote make this outfit. The bracelet stack and the earrings are my most worn accessories lately. They go with EVERYTHING.
white tee / flag hat / denim shorts / gingham tote / sneakers / hoop earrings / bracelet stack
I think this blouse is adorable. And the colors make it patriotic, without being in your face with stars and stripes. This is obviously a blouse you would wear all spring and summer long.

I’m not a sleeveless tank kind of girl, but I know lots of y’all are! And I also know this could totally be your summer uniform.
The necklace and the hat are both from Social Threads, so you can use the code STMT10 for 10% OFF!
tank / denim shorts / sunglasses / necklace / gold bracelet stack / brown sandals / straw hat / straw bag
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.
v-neck tee / shorts / headband / earrings / bracelet stack / straw bag / sandals
I paired the shorts with the heeled sandals for a great date night look. You’ll look like you have legs for days! Click HERE to see this exact outfit on me.

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!

Now this “outfit” is everything. And how cute are the hair, face, and skin bags! Everything is from Amazon.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sheaffer, I just got my “toddler” denim shorts in from AE. AE ran a free shipping deal on Sunday/Monday of the holiday weekend which I took advantage of. Anyway, I tried them on and they are so soft! They are on the short side, but nothing too crazy and perfect for casual everyday wear, beach and pool. Thanks for the recommendation!
