I’ve mentioned before that I tend to be a creature of habit. Once I find something I really like, I can’t get enough of it! I could eat the same meal for days in a row and wear the same things for days (confession: sometimes I do…I often wear the same outfit on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday…).

My style tends to be comfy meets trendy and the comfy part makes certain items just irresistible. I’ve bought some great items this Spring into Summer that I just can’t seem to stop putting into rotation and I thought I’d share them with you while they’re still available for purchase (and many of them on sale!):

1) J Crew Factory Stripe Tank Dress – I love the idea of maxi dresses, but usually find them either a) too hot or b) so clingy that they accentuate my bumps and rolls ;). Enter (what I think) is the perfect maxi! It has side slits that make it airy and not suffocating and hot. Plus, the defined empire waist with the looser top make it definitely more flattering that other maxi dresses I’ve tried.

2) J Crew Pima Jersey Pocket Tank –   Meet the softest tank ever. Mr. Cowboy is seriously jealous that J. Crew doesn’t make any men’s tees in this material. It’s that comfortable. Plus it’s loose-fitting enough where it’s flattering, but not clingy. I love it in this dusty blossom color — such a pretty color and so flattering on tanned skin!

3) Mossimo Tank top – I love the vintage-y surfer look of this tank. Plus, it’s (of course) super comfortable!

4) Merona Slub Tank – I love the fun pineapple print on this top! I’ve seen pineapple and other fruit prints at much more high end stores, so this comfy $10 top is definitely a deal!

5) Forever21 Rhinestone necklace – This necklace is a fun way to glam up those tank tops. I love to layer it with an initial necklace since it falls a little longer than my other chain necklaces.

6) Loft Petite Lace Riviera Shorts – These shorts are a little dressier, but still really comfortable. I love pairing it with the dusty blossom J. Crew tank, the turquoise bead necklace and the gold Birkenstock sandals. In fact, I may or may not have worn this outfit every Saturday for the last 3 weeks…;)

7) Birkenstocks Catania by Papillio – These were definitely my biggest splurge this season. But, for the last few summers, I’ve trekked around in different sandals and flip flops and always had achy feet. While I was feeling a little suspect about the resurgence of Birkenstocks, when I stumbled upon these, I could resist. The gold and the criss-cross design definitely make these more feminine and they can be easily dressed up or down. Plus, after wearing them for 2 weeks and having them mold to my feet, they are the most comfortable summer shoes I’ve ever had!

8) J Crew Factory Denim Roll-up Shorts – I find that shorts are most flattering when they are loose around the thigh and hit just where your thigh/quad begins to narrow. These jorts (yes, they’re baaaack!) check off both of those things for me and they are so comfy and perfect for running around town or around the playground with my little dude. (Psssst…a quick tip: I find that the J. Crew Factory stores always have different and better deals in store, so it’s worth the trek out if you have one somewhat near you!)

9) Forever21 Boho Beaded Necklace – Turquoise always screams summer to me, and this fun bead statement necklace is a great way to add some color to a summer outfit. Plus, the beads are really lightweight making this statement necklace bearable in hot summer weather.

What are your go-to pieces this summer?
