Every so often, you get invited to a wedding where the vibe just isn’t quite your vibe. We’ve all been there. For me, that’s a country club wedding. Despite having worked at a country club in high school (or maybe because of it), that’s never been my scene. But this outfit says, “I know how to dress for an occasion and still make a statement at the same time.” You won’t be in danger of upstaging the bride, but there’s a good chance you might turn a few heads on the dance floor.

Just because you’re wearing less clothes during the hotter months doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with them. Summer’s skimpier dress code provides ample opportunities to hone your pattern mixing skills, especially when you play with prints from head to toe by adding in a patterned shoe.

One of my secret ambitions is to own a summer camp. Perhaps it was too much time spent watching the original Parent Trap or reading that one Babysitters Club Super Special where they were all camp counselors, but as a kid, I was obsessed with the idea of summer camp. I even spent my time drawing maps of
imaginary summer camps I would one day own or attend.

As an adult, my fascination with summer camp hasn’t changed, though now I’d rather own a summer camp for grownups.

So it’s no surprise that my go to summer look might be described as modern camp counselor. I love shorts and a basic top for summer. Swap the tennis shoes for ballet flats, the whistle for a long necklace, and the clipboard for a clutch, and you’ve turned the camp counselor look from fashion victim to style icon.

One of the things I love about summer is that style doesn’t have to be complicated. A great, summer weight black dress, a statement necklace, and sandals are all it takes to be comfortable and pulled together at the same time. You can always top it off with a hat for an extra dose of style.

I’m not the kind of person who dresses in holiday specific colors (I’m talking about you, St. Patrick’s Day) but I would make an exception if I had this amazing, painterly red, white, and blue skirt.
