Everything I Ordered For Summer
+ the summer outfits I'm repeating
This weekend came in hot with the realization that summer is officially here.
I have a confession: my wardrobe isn’t quite ready. Between wrapping up the school year, signing the kids up for camps, planning travel, and keeping up with a packed social calendar, shopping has fallen to the bottom of the list. Over the weekend, I reached for a dress and ended up wearing a Rachel Comey favorite that’s been in my closet for more than five years (see the bottom of this post).
And honestly? I’m not someone who believes we need an entirely new wardrobe every season. But a few thoughtful additions can make everything feel fresh again and right now, I’m in the mood for a little refresh.
Below are a few pieces I picked up this week, along with some easy outfit formulas I plan to wear on repeat all summer long.
Doen Top - I keep seeing this pop up everywhere and I don’t know why I’ve been putting off buying it. One of my most worn tops from the past two years was a simple short sleeve button up very similar to this. I’ve completely worn it out and it’s time for a replacement.
Lou Lou de Saison - Speaking of tops, I simply do not have enough “going out” tops for summer evenings. This one popped out to me because it feels very versatile and easy to style with skirts, denim or shorts.
Khaite Audrey Clutch - The heavy hitting splurge this month was finally pulling the trigger on a Khaite bag. I wanted a little kiss of color and this pink felt just far enough outside of my comfort zone to spice up my wardrobe for summer.
Anemos Bikini - Every year there’s a favorite swim brand that I wear on rotation. I’ve been living in my Anemos swim top and bottom and equally love their one pieces. I posted a photo of me wearing it at the bottom of this post.
Tibi Melbourne Heel - Speaking of pops of color, I’ve been lusting over this strappy sandal and finally scored it during the Tibi sale.
Girls One Piece Striped Suit - For my 7 year old girl, I bought her a few new swimsuits from Minnow (see below), but also found this one via Amazon that checked all the boxes.
Boys Swim Trunks - I do my best to have the kids matching swimsuits and this navy number kind of goes with everything.
White Sunnies - Because having a new pair of sunglasses for summer is so fun and white adds that little pop to every outfit.
Janessa Leone Suni Hat - You know I’m super loyal to my girl Janessa and every summer there’s a straw hat that I don’t take off my head. This year it’s all about the Suni.
Doen Dress - Of all of my dresses, Doen styles always stick around a few years in my closet. I still have dresses from Doen that I’ve had, worn and loved for years. This season I’m getting this one.
Windbreaker Jacket - This little sheer windbreaker style jacket is really pulling at my heartstrings. It’d be perfect over a swimsuit on a boat day with the gals.
Bermuda Shorts - In case you missed the memo, Bermuda shorts are here to stay.
I saw this photo and immediately went down a rabbit hole to try and find similar cotton style bike shorts in white. It felt a little random and I aksed myself “Am I actually going to wear this outfit?” The answer is yes and no. I have been cuddled up in them at home and have gotten SO much wear from these shorts under my super short Doen and Posse dresses. Huge fan!
A few outfits worth repeating:
Sometimes it takes something as simple as a new t-shirt to revamp your wardrobe. I resisted Flore Flore for some weird reason but I’m so happy I finally caved in. The hit of this sleeve is what makes this tee feel super sweet. You can find a very similar look for less here and here.
I honestly don’t have enough great things to say about this dress (oh, it’s on sale btw!). When I got it I just chalked it up to another white maxi dress but it’s not quite white and it fits so, so right. I also need to make strong note of this Jenni Kayne bag which I’ve raved to you about before. I wore it to the beach over the weekend the girls were also asking about it. It’s kind of perfect.
This feels like as good of a time as any to mention that I upload all of my IG looks to my ShopMy page here. This one in particular is a stand out because it’s my current uniform. Whether it’s camp pick ups, drop offs, pool parties, running errands (you name it) this outfit is my favorite go to for all things summer.
We get so wrapped up in florals, creams and bright color for summer that sometimes we forget that all black always wins. I’ve been busting out my Pia leather jacket by Nour Hammour a ton lately and have been getting so many compliments. It’s honestly my most favorite leather jacket of all time. I really wish Rachel Comey still made this little black dress I have had for nearly 5 years because it’s perfect.

The only bikini you’ll find me in all summer.
Writing my Substack takes a great deal of thought and even more time. If you enjoyed this post, please do me a favor and give it a little “heart” below. A little bit really goes a long way in this space and I truly appreciate your support <3
