How to Wear Your Favourite Summer Trends

Happy Friday! To celebrate, I have some weekend expenditures I'm lusting over (and can't afford to buy)

I've been asked by Jessica from raise.com to participate in the Closet Swap campaign to talk about my favourite summer trends and how I'm transitioning between the seasons.
Unlike previous years, I'm finding myself loving a lot more trendy items this summer. Anything from overalls (okay, I've actually loved these since I was a kid) to fruit prints have made their way into my closet this season. All of these trends are super easy to incorporate into your daily wardrobe, and I've given a couple of tips throughout.

Overalls

I'm absolutely in love with overall shorts this summer. I'm pretty sure this stems from my usual love of rompers, combined with my new found love for denim. Overalls have slowly been making their way into the bloggersphere but this year, they really took off. I was happy to finally find a pair I loved for a price I loved thanks to American Eagle (overalls are surprisingly expensive) having a 40% off sale. Another way to save a few extra bucks when there aren't major sale? Buy a used gift card. Check out raise.com if you want a $30 gift card but only pay $25.

These are perfectly bleached and distressed – not too white and not too run down or too perfect – I'll be wearing these all summer. My favourite way to wear overalls is with a crop top, but I've also been experimenting with lace, button-downs, and blazers. Anything that doesn't scream cowgirl is a-okay in my books.



Fruit

While I'm not ready to pull off pineapple pants, I was all over this fruity Coach umbrella when I first saw it. While a few years old now, it's still adorable, and apparently quite trendy. An easy way to transition into the trend is to pick something more subtle rather than a full blown print. I for one am sticking to fruit shaped accessories, but anything goes this summer!


Crop Tops

Crop tops, oh crop tops. How I love you, how I don't love how I can never wear you. I do, truly love wearing crop tops, however Calgary's weather is so temperamental it can be a little tricky to pull off. I highly recommend layering up with a cardigan or blazer to get you through any random summer storms or cooler winds you might experience. If you live somewhere sunny... well... I'm just jealous.



Sheer

Everyone who knows me knows I love a good sheer top. And yes, some people will stare at you, but lets face it, showing off your bra is really not different then showing off your bathing suit. The one place I wouldn't wear a sheer top (or at least not without a camisole) is the office. Everywhere else I go is fair game. I definitely recommend a lace top like this one from Buffalo for any summer festivals you might be going to.
