10 Summer Fashion Things I Can't Live Without

I'm not usually the kind of girl who talks about clothes all the time (there are plenty of people out there like that if you want to read a blog by someone who does). In fact, I like to consider myself a tomboy. But once in a while, I do enjoy a little bit of glitz, glamour, and fabric talk, because I do care very much about whether or not the fabric I'm wearing is soft.

Now, I know everyone on the internet has done a list like the one I'm about to do. I know they've been doing them since the internet first became available to the general population (slight exaggeration? Maybe). But I still want to make my own list of 10 summer fashion things that I, personally, can't live without.

So, without further ado, here is my list.

I love this pair of flip flops!

1. My favorite pair of flip flops. These shoes (see the above picture) have serviced me for a good four or five years now and while they're starting to get a bit worn out, they're insanely comfy and I wouldn't trade them for the world. 
2. Denim shorts. For me, having at least one pair of denim shorts is essential to my summer wardrobe. They're comfy, they go with everything, and I can dress them up or down for just about any occasion.
3. All of my summer camp T-shirts. I have five of them now, most of them from the same camp, and they're my go-to shirts when I want to wear something comfy and awesome-looking.
4. Bandanas as headbands. When I got a pixie cut in the spring, I didn't like the way I looked when I wore anything but a T-shirt and jeans. So I started wearing bandana headbands, which look really good with t-shirts and shorts.
5. Brightly colored nail polish and nail art. I'm not good at drawing at all, so my nail art isn't exactly on the same level as Picasso, but I still do it. I did a flamingo and a cupcake last summer and they were pretty cool!
6. Bright colors in general. If it's bright, I will probably wear it. Well, aside from anything with ruffles, which I can't stand, but I adore neons and they just seem to go with summer.
7. Striped shirts. And when I say stripes, I mean horizontal stripes. Maybe it's just the nautical-ness of navy and white, but something about them just screams summer, the beach, and warm weather.
8. Friendship bracelets. Like the kind you made at summer camp. I have three of them that I've made myself, and I think the fact that they're the kind of thing you make at summer camp makes them so endearing to me.
9. Peasant tops. I grew out of my favorite one, but I adore peasant tops, especially in the summer time. Why? No idea. They're just fabulous.
10. Graphic shirts with fruit on them. I love any shirt that has a pineapple, a watermelon, or a strawberry on it. They're very summery, make me think of picnics, and every time I look at them, I think to myself, "Man, I could use a pineapple/watermelon/strawberry right now." I am very food-oriented. :)

Did I ever tell you how much I suck at top ten lists? I start out thinking that I've totally got ten ideas, but then by about #5, I forget everything I wanted to write. But I made this one! So yay!

Happy summer!

Love,
