It's hot in New York City, and I'm fully in the mode of going out for ice cream, lying out in the sun, traveling, and wearing clothes that make me excited to get dressed. I feel like I spent all winter in hibernation—barely shopping, barely inspired. Once spring came, I emerged with a new mindset.
This happens every year: Winter makes me forget how to dress. I'm perpetually cold and end up using my wardrobe as a form of defense against the elements rather than wearing what I actually want to wear. I start to feel like my closet becomes purely functional. Now that it's warm, I'm back to living in skirts and dresses. I've returned to my tank tops, halter necklines, ballet flats, and kitten heels.
As far as trends go, I'm loving the return of polka dots (a timeless print in my mind) and capris (controversial but I'm on board). Since I'm someone who's perpetually browsing online, I've been looking through so many different summer collections. Here's what caught my eye at Zara, H&M, and Revolve.
Zara
So cute.
I really love this asymmetrical wrap skirt.
I'm shocked this dress is from Zara.
Halter tops are trending.
The back is chic too.
Such a good midi dress.
The fashion set loves lace skirts this season.
I'm very into denim Bermuda shorts.
I've been eyeing this skirt for a while.
These look designer.
This skirt feels fresh.
H&M
Simple elegance.
Trend-forward.
If I'm going to wear black in the summer, I like to wear it in pointelle or sheer materials.
For the beach or park.
I've been gravitating toward asymmetric hems.
A staple cover-up.
The easiest summer outfit formula is a one-shoulder top with a midi skirt.
A "glass-slipper blue" bikini.
With matching bottoms.
I like having a comfortable smocked dress to throw on when I'm running errands.
Revolve
I want this.
Drop-waist dresses have been in pretty much every article I've written since spring started.
I love everything from Cou Cou Intimates.
An airy Miaou dress.
I've been wanting a dress from Geel.
Another polka-dot dress from With Jéan.
Capris with kitten heels.
I can't believe I still haven't bought a pair of 90's 501 jeans.
I keep claw clips all over my apartment and always have one in my bag.
