The Good American Good Waist Palazzo is my FAVORITE of all jeans. This cropped version in white is the best summer staple. Stretchy but also holds you in without stretching out. Raw hem makes them adjustable for your height (yes, I trim my own when n...

I love a fishnet type sweater for summer. Besides looking chic and modern, the airiness of the knit makes it just warm enough for a cool evening but not too hot.

This straight maxi skirt pairs with the Splendid striped tee for the most adorable set or I'd wear it with a tank top in a solid color on a hot day. Would also pair with an oversized button down tied at the waist
