Summer vacation has arrived! This means I needed to put my summer capsule wardrobe in order. This summer, we plan to stay casual as we have a lot of plans surrounding my daughter who heads to college in the fall. In order to be comfortable, my summer capsule wardrobe is casual, and can easily be worn with sneakers; a shoe style I am wearing a lot lately due to my injured foot.

Shorts and tee’s are summer staples, so I found a few tee’s which are slightly elevated with puff sleeves or tie sleeves. This way, I can stay casual without looking sloppy. Shorts are a must-have in the warm summer months, so these two pairs will serve me well! I always like to have pants in the summer too. Sometimes we get cool foggy days or mornings. Pants are perfect for the those days! These joggers are perfect because they move away from being everyday denim, yet offer just as much comfort as jeans. Love that!

This summer, people are dressing up a little bit more. After all, we are free from quarantine! So, in order to keep things casual and comfortable, yet not look like loungewear, I found this super comfortable dress priced under $50. I originally purchased it in blue, and I loved it so much, I bought two more! I now have it in black and stripes. It is really flattering, comfortable, and ideal for hot summer days. I plan to live in these dresses! LOVE! If you are looking for a fuss-free summer dress, this is the one!

Sometimes you just want to make your outfit all about your bag, and this outfit, is all about my bag! I chose my classic dark wash, skinny jeans with my favorite stripe tee in order to show off the bright green hue of my handbag. I love making my handbag the center of attention! After all, I love handbags! haha

In addition to the handbag, did you notice I scored a pair of Dunk’s? I have been entering the draw’s through Nike’s SNKR’s app and I am starting to score Dunk and Air Jordan’s for myself and my family. It’s a fun way to shop plus it feels to good to get a pair of shoes my kids really, really, and I mean REALLY want! There is definitely a sense of accomplishment walking around in shoes I sort-of had to work to buy! haha

I wore this outfit while window shopping at Standford Shopping Center. We enjoyed a yummy meal at pacific Catch, which is turning into one of my favorite restaurants. I usually eat at the Cupertino location, but the Standford location is equally delicious. You can see my yummy fish tacos below.

In addition to fish tacos, they have a large menu filled with a variety of seafood dishes. Everything is good! If you haven’t been to one of their locations yet, be sure to check them out soon!

Do you ever plan your outfit around your handbag? Or am I just a crazy one? haha. Let me know!

Summer casual dress and a pop of green

Oh my goodness, how beautiful is this winery? We had our Girl Scout service unit’s end-of-year awards dinner at this location last week, and it was the prettiest awards dinner we have ever had! The event was held at The Ranch Almaden which is a small winery, home and event venue in the Almaden area of San Jose. It was a stunning location, and the weather was perfect. I understand the venue is available on AirBNB in case you’re interested!

Since it was a casual event at a winery, I decided to wear this black cotton dress with my good sneakers and green handbag. While this bag may be known for being “Bottega Green,” it can also double as “Girl Scout Green.” Love that! So, that’s why I wore it!

If this dress seems familiar, you’re right! I also have it in blue. I couldn’t help myself. This dress is priced well under $50 and comes in tons of colors. Since I loved the blue one so much, I purchased one in black too. Black is such a good color to have on hand.

My foot is still iffy, so sneakers with good arch support are a must for me these days. Thankfully I won a draw on the SNKR’s app and was able to snap up these black and white Nike Dunk Lo’s. I consider these my good sneakers, since they are hard to get, and I am keeping them very clean! I love how they look with the black dress. The outfit showed off my green bag.

The event was really fun. My daughter was recognized for earning her Gold Award, and we were able to see all the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Award projects in our service unit. It is so inspiring to see all the amazing community service our local girl scouts are doing. The next generation is truly amazing!

If you are looking for a good summer dress which is affordable, I recommend this one! I am certain you will find a color you love.
