Summer weekends are truly unmatched. After a long work week, it's hard to stay indoors when the weather is just too good. Dressing for the warm weather is especially fun for the ladies because we get to shed a few layers, show a little skin, and play with cute outfit combinations that won't be hidden by an overcoat or hoodie.
I took to Instagram to scout what the girls have been wearing to all their summer rendezvous thus far. And needless to say, style and creativity are at an all-time high. Keep scrolling to shop my five favorite weekend looks from chic swimwear ensembles by the pool to colorful, breezy dresses made for outdoor festivities.
Coffee Date
This low-key ensemble caught my eye with its vintage flair and floral motifs. Not to mention, the ballet flats and woven tote are totally on-trend this summer. This makes the perfect casual outfit for a coffee date or a meet-up at your neighborhood café.
