SUMMER SUITS

(Jules, Bee, Kelly)

I'm really smitten with the matching top/short trend. It's like wearing opulent pajamas around town! Plus, I love any outfit that can wear heels and Converse interchangeably. And with homegirls purchasing their swag from Topshop and Zara, the price is certainly right.

INSATIABLE THIRST FOR MAXI DRESSES

(Anthropologie)

Anthropologie is a really upsetting place full of perfect clothing that is outside of a college girl's price range. I was there this past weekend and found this gorgeous thing. I love florals on black. I love delicate straps. I love love love maxi dresses!

Living in Texas in the summertime is a nightmare for everyone but especially for anyone trying to look even a little nice. Maxi dresses have been my salvation. If you buy the right maxi dress it makes you look somehow more statuesque. If you buy the right maxi dress you don't have to wear a bra with it! Maxi dresses and pasties. That's been my summer survival strategy. My birthday's coming up--maybe someone will help me add this one to my collection!

(And by the way, Kylie obsessively shops Anthro's sales racks, which is a great option for those of us who have a budget!)

WANT: RETRO BIKINI

Sometimes retro swimsuits, especially one-pieces, feel really daunting to me, but I am in love with these pieces and plan on picking them up as soon as I can! Potentially weird tan lines or no!

KYLIE'S SUMMER WARDROBE INSPO

Maxi dresses are such an easy, endless default during the killer summer months (singular piece! acceptable to wear bra-less! go great with sandals!). I've done it myself for the past 3 or 4 years, but now I'm starting to lean more towards mix-and-match pieces that are stylish, easy, and (let's face it) tolerable to sweat profusely in. #Texas.

Skin-tight pencil skirts, easy tops, minimal accessories, simple heels, natural disaster hair.

Floppy hats, breezy blouses, cut-off denim, strappy heels.

(via 5 inch and up)

Bra-tops, Grease-inpired leggings, killer pumps, loose curls.

Fun, light-weight button-ups, structured shorts, statement jewelry, easy up-dos.
