what we are wearing this summer.

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//

We are loving all of this sun and warm weather, though some days it is too hot and therefore very hard to find inspiration for things to wear! All day long we want to reach for layers to add interest to our outfits but the heat just keeps us from doing so. When we do put together an outfit though we reach for simple and cute summer dresses, cut off levis and breezy tank tops, maxi skirts, soft pastels, along with some pops of color. One of our new favorite summer trends is overalls! Has anyone else been loving them this summer? I got my first pair (since childhood) and I haven't figured how to wear them yet, but boy am I excited!

Do you have any items of clothing you couldn't live without in the summer?

DIY triangle tank

Our Inspiration:

When I saw Kaleigh from A Rambling Fancy wear this triangle tank I instantly knew that I had to make one for myself. I was scrolling through her blog one day after finding it for the first time (it is cute you should follow it) and I saw her wearing it. I immediately dropped everything I was doing and set off to make my new dream tank. Here is how I did it:

You'll need: Paint (I used acrylic, though you could probably get better results with fabric paint), a paint brush, painters tape, and an old tank top (I cut up a white v-neck!)



Turns out this tank top was the easiest thing to make. All I did was slide a piece of cardboard inside the shirt, mark off a triangle the size I wanted with painters tape, and then I painted the whole section. That easy! I love my new tank top and I can't wait to figure out all the ways that I can wear it. I liked my pink chiffon maxi skirt with it!

How would you style it?
