Planning a Summer Staycation in Style and on a Budget
Let me just say it. I love summer! The warmer temps, the longer days, barbequing with friends and of course the cool, comfy, colorful summertime fashions.
Here are the top four rules to help you create the ultimate staycation that will have you trending in no time.
First, you absolutely, positively must start with adding a few new pieces to your wardrobe. It’s easy to find fashion muses everywhere this time of year, pairing this season’s hottest colors and patterns with pieces from seasons past in fresh new ways. So it’s time to make the obligatory trek into the darkest corners of your closet and pull out a few long forgotten pieces to work in – before you hit the mall. Whether it’s a flouncy, fringy tank, paired with a skirt or shorts – this is a great time of year to find it at a great price.
Secondly, a pair of cute sandals are a must. If you don’t have time for a pedicure– forgo the open toes and opt for a pair of Dockers instead.
Third on the list is to choose an activity or two, some outdoor and some indoor just in case Mother Nature isn’t cooperating. Walking the mall and adding to your wardrobe counts as an activity, right?
Number four is to schedule some down time at the lake – or perhaps the neighborhood pool. ‘Nuff said.
