Oh the outdoor summer wedding! So chic! So romantic! So…difficult to pick out shoes for. Opt for a natural colored pair of wedges that can be work in the sand and the street. Extra points if they’re metallic.

You’re so sunburned you can barely sleep, so the idea of putting on a tank top and shorts, let alone a tight-fitting bathing suit, is causing you to break out in hives. Enter: the maxi dress. Find a loose-fitting maxi dress that cinches at the waist (ooh, flattering!). The fit will make you comfortable and a great pattern will make you stylish.
