I love a set because you essentially get 3 outfits for the price of 1.  I first wore the pieces of this Free People Kissed by the Sun Set together with a pair of Adidas slides and my Lack of Color Boater Hat.  Next I'll be pairing this beautiful embroidered top with denim cutoffs.  I love the wide sleeves, which seems to be the theme of my tops lately.  I'll be wearing these flowy shorts on a regular basis with a simple tee.  You can just pull them on and go.  So there you have it, 3 easy outfits for under $150 (along with pieces you already own).  Of course, you can pair the top and shorts with many other pieces in your closet and get even more out of this Free People set.  You can also dress these pieces up a bit by pairing the top with white skinny jeans and lace-up sandals and pairing the shorts with a black top (or bodysuit) and black wedge sandals.

Another hot day, another tank and cutoffs combo.  I have so many skirts and dresses that I would love to wear, but it's so hot and I hate the feeling of my thighs sticking together (#nothighgap).  I'll save those for when it starts getting cooler and I can pair them with a cardigan, which I've been dying to shop for but it's pointless right now (although the mornings are starting to feel a bit cooler, yay!).  Come December/January I'm going to miss these hot days so I'm not going to complain and enjoy the summer sales.  I've picked up this top, along with some great stuff at Shopbop recently.

I love this cute J.Crew anchor tee.  The floral touch is what makes it so special.  I feel like I'm ready to set sail in this outfit, minus the booties - I would obviously trade those in for sandals to wear on a yacht.  Sigh, now I'm daydreaming of owning a boat and sailing off into the sunset.  Or trade the booties in for some sneakers and I'm ready to play tennis.  Well, let's face it, I'm doing neither of those things so, in my case, the booties work.

I am, overall, short, but that's not what I'm talking about here.  I'm talking about these adorable Free People floral overall shorts I posted on Instagram earlier today.  It's been raining a lot lately so I've been staying indoors the past few days, or if I have headed out, it's been in these Marc by Marc Jacobs rain boots that I love so much, usually with skinny jeans and a sweater.  Today, thankfully, the sun was shining so we headed to the beach for some gelato.  Really can't think of a better way to spend the day.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

My favourite part of a rainy day is when the sun comes out.  It just seems more sunny than usual because of the gloominess beforehand.  Yesterday, it also became really hot.  The kind of weather I live for.  And I'm well prepared, stocking up on shorts from GAP to J.Crew.  It seems I'm sticking to florals and polka dots.  The only thing I need now is some colour on my skin.
