WHAT TO WEAR: Weekend Wear

Say hello to our summer blonde glam girl! If you live near the beach, are going to the beach (or are just thinking about the beach) and are ready to ditch the bikini and denim shorts. Look to this Fashionista as the perfect outfit style guide; clean, simple, sexy and chic.

Most of this look comes from small town shops, so hop in your car and head downtown to see what your local boutiques hold. Just in case you come home empty-handed, I have found similar pieces for you to try.

This Fashionista brings back the beloved barrette. Although her beautifully painted teal and white hair accessory comes from an art center, this L. Erickson Atelier Enamel Volume Barrette in Icy Pales is a perfect substitute. The gold frame adds a little funk to the traditional hairpiece.

The Band of Gypsies Scallop Hem Pin-Up Short from Urban Outfitters is a fresh look. The high-rise banded waist and short inseam elongate the legs. This Fashionista layers a bralette and tank top; the new summer “it” trend. Her gray knit crotchet top is Audrey 3+1, a small boutique brand. If the shops nearest you don’t carry this fashion gem, try the Balmain Gray Crotchet Knit Tank for the same effect. Add a Brandy Melville bralette and you are good to go!

One Simple Change: Take this look from daytime chic to nighttime glam for a Girls Night Out by trading the American Eagle crotchet Leather flip-flops for Jack Roger’s Marbella Mid-Height Espadrille in platinum.
