There’s nothing that embodies a summer vacation look more than a bold tropical print.  With summer in full swing, beach time, sun soaking and that Aloha vibe are in order.

I tend to stick to neutrals or classic prints, but when I saw this tropical print romper from Macy’s I had to have it.  The corseted waistline is super on trend, and the linen material makes it nice and cool for the record high heat we’ve been having.  Summer is a time for fewer clothes in general, so if there’s ever a time to rock a bold print, this is it!

Later this week I’ll be sharing some other ways to rock a bold print in summer.  If girly clothing isn’t your thing, stay tuned for another fun print that’s less feminine and more menswear inspired.

Mini bags are my jam (my shoulders just can’t handle the larger totes I used to carry) and this embellished crossbody comes in 7 colors including a fun graffiti print.  The size is perfect for my sunglasses, phone and wallet and the clasp is a nod to the logomania that will be all over the fall runways.  Hello, perfect transition piece!

I honestly can’t believe summer is more than halfway over.  I’m having so much fun wearing my breezier pieces (something I thought I’d never say considering I’m a fall/winter girl!).  If you’re like me and tend toward fall looks, try pairing your summer dresses with boots, or throw a leather or suede jacket over a romper like this one.  It’s a great way to make use of your wardrobe year round.
