Summer Fashion Staples | The Summer Series Part 1

Helloo everyone as it is now June I just feel like it's summer already! In Singapore it is technically summer all year round, but when it actually hits summer we get such cool trends coming in from the US and the UK.
So I decided to show you some of my "2014 Summer Fashion Staples"

••• CROP TOPS •••
So I understand that these have been trending for quite some time, but I'm really looking forward to wearing these in the summer as Singapore gets exceptionally hot.
I really love the way these look and feel.
When I wear these, I like to pair them with my regular denim cut off shorts, and maybe tie a plaid shirt around my exposed stomach if I feel I'm exposing too much, and throw on a old sleeveless jacket or a jacket if I feel too naked. These definitely look hip, so you could definitely pair these with snapbacks, beanies, hi tops, combat boots, and just anything hip and trendy.

••• OVERSIZED TEES •••

For this category, I really only have one item to show you, which is my favourite trendy oversized tee.

So normally t-shirts are skin tight, which are super uncomfortable, so I buy like two sizes to big for me so I can have it loose, which doesn't always look too trendy, but is super comfy.

So when I saw this oversized tee, that is MEANT to look trendy and is MEANT to be oversized, I just had to get it... right?

These look great with distressed jeans, textured shorts, cut offs, knee length shorts, preppy ruffled skirts (ha, not my style)... anything!

I especially like what my tee says... I don't know, I just really hate it when people wear shirts saying stuff that makes no sense like: Soft Kitten, or Varsity Cute Angels College (???!!! WHAT???!!) it's just like WHY did you buy it??? Oh yeah, and I recently spotted at a local Bershka a sweatshirt that said: "Life is a strawberry." I felt like ripping that sweatshirt to shreds.

But without further ado, my tee:

••• DRESSES AND SKIRTS •••

Now that the sun is out, I am going to try and wear some dresses and skirts.

First thing that you should know is that I am SO not a girly sort of girl, I refused to wear a skirt for about the past three or four years, and now I'm kind of slowly coming around my phobia (haha not really) of wearing skirts and dresses.

I don't know, I've really been trying to break these things down, because when I wear them I feel too formal and preppy, which I HATE.

So I like tying my hair up in kiddie styles, or just casual dos to make it seem less formal.

1) Skater Skirt

This is a pretty cool skirt... I have to say. Except I can NEVER find the perfect top to match it!! Which drives me INSANE! So I end up wearing solid colour on solid colour which makes me feel so formal, because I'm wearing black on mint green. So I've been hunting around for some graphic tees, tanks and camis (maybe some bustiers??) But do leave me a comment telling me what YOU wear your skater skirts with, to give me some ideas!!

(And I apologize for the fact that my photo makes my skirt look flat, and less fun...)

2) Sundress

Okay... so this is what I'm pretty scared about. 

Some dresses just look too formal, but I thought with this pattern, it could NEVER be formal. Except for the fact I feel it goes down to long, so it makes me feel pretty formal when I wear it. But I'm really hoping I'll get over that and just end up wearing it out and be like whatever.. I like it, so I should wear it!

This is super pretty with leather sandals, casual flip flops, colourful converse or vans.... This would be a great dress to go to the beach in (the crop tops would be great too..) just wear this over your swimsuit! The pattern on this is slightly arabic, and super super pretty.

So yeah! 

Hope you guys enjoyed my summer fashion staples.

I will be posting around two more posts on Summer - 1) Room Decor and 2) Makeup, Hair and Colours!
I hope this gave you some idea of what you want to get for your summer wardrobe (I will be looking into overalls and some very pricey Oscar Blandi products....

So if you would like some more inspiration go check out the June/July issue of Seventeen Magazine, it gave me HUGE inspiration for this post.

So enjoy!!
