I feel like in summer’s past, I’ve hated everything I have worn because I tried to layer to many things and be miserable. I had to take outfit photos in the morning because by the end of the day my hair was a literal frizzball and my clothes were a complete mess. So I remember going to Tara’s blog for summer outfit inspiration. A year later, a better sense of what is appropriate for hot days and I’m co-hosting her super popular Summer Style Link-Up!

Hah, I know what you mean, I try to dress casual in the Summer, with less clothes, but I always feel it's kind of boring 😀
Love this ensemble, the crisp shirt is pure perfection!

Lighter layers, or no layers would definitely be the key to summer dressing, except this summer, when it does not seem to want to get hot at all and I keep waking up to 60 degrees. 🙁

The printed shorts are so cute with those peep toe booties! I can only do very light layering in the summer or I'd be sweating my butt off 🙂

I'm glad you're cohosting–I love seeing two blogs I love to read in the same place! I love this summer look, and I agree, it's hard to get dressed in the summer and not melt!
Elegance and Mommyhood
Loved seeing you co-host. Great floral shorts and they look so fresh with the white button-down and tan sandal-booties. You & Tara both look gorgeous in these Shorts' Outfits. =)))
Enjoy the weekend babe!

You look so cute Alissa! I love the shorts! Last year I wore a ton of them, but this year I'm more into skirts and dresses. Not sure why! It's funny how each Summer, our style seems to change a little 🙂 Thanks for the link-up!
Maggie
Both of these looks are beautiful! I love the peplum button up and the camo sweatshirt!

Experimenting is quite challenging, and you definitely don't like like it's 100 outside, so I would say absolute success, and I also know why you got the necklace both in silver and gold, it is fabulous.
