Weekend Summer White

There is nothing quite like white in the summertime. It makes you feel cooler in the hot weather, it enhances a golden tan and it always look chic. Know how you can wear all black in the winter and instantly look pulled together? All white during the summer has the same effect.




After staying in on Friday night, we were up early on Saturday morning. Which is the perfect time to hit up our favorite local bagel shop, Tompkins Square Bagels, since all the rowdy East-Villagers have not yet awoken for the day. The weather was perfect – sunny, not too hot and with a nice breeze. It's days like this that make me want to be up early every weekend! We grabbed our coffee and bagel sandwiches to-go and headed to Tompkins Square Park to eat. We usually sit near the dog park when we go to TSP, picking out all the dog breeds we like for someday in future when Boom can have an animal friend…



When adding some new white pieces to your wardrobe this season, I suggest checking out some more affordable options before investing in pricey ones. A crisp, clean, white cotton top can easily look more expensive than it is. This outfit is pretty much the epitome of bargain style. I got this top a few years ago from Old Navy (I love Old Navy) and these shorts maybe even longer ago from Target (I also love Target). Both are perfect examples of affordable clothing that can still look stylish. The key is keeping an eye out for simple styles, natural fabrics (cotton, linen) and classic silhouettes. To top off my budget look (I actually wasn't planning this as a 'budget look' it just happened that way), I threw on this panama hat that I got years ago from an Acme Supermarket – yes, you read that right. I was at the beach, picking up some groceries and this hat caught my eye. Talk about a good deal!



A few of my affordable white picks out right now include:
Also speaking of Old Navy - they have a major sale going on right now, with up to 50% off everything. And at Old Navy, that can get you a lot of stuff for not too much cash. Make sure you use code JUNE40 at checkout when shopping online.


Happy first day of summer!
