As much as we want to hang onto summer, it's time to admit fall is just around the corner — and that's not a bad thing! We can't wait to soak in the fall foliage, pick apples for some well deserved pie, and smell the warm scents of chimney fires as people start to cozy up for the winter. Our style gets cozy, too — sweaters and leggings and boots... oh my! Plus cute pea coats, scarves, hats, gloves... the possibilities are endless. So don't fret, fashionistas, sweater weather opens up a whole new season of stylish potential. Get excited! Feeling lazy today? Did you eat a little too much pasta last night and wake up bloated? We feel you, fashionistas, which is why we're dedicating this week's post to the ever-wonderful baggy tee. Baggy t-shirt, you ask? Doesn't that mean spending the day in bed? It could, but if you dress up a baggy tee the right way, you can achieve casual comfort polished with put-together class. Think baggy t-shirt with a loose cardigan, then balanced with leggings and sleek flats. Try that same tee with fitted jeans, a blazer and gladiators, over dress pants and heels, or paired with a maxi skirt. Make the look even crisper with the right accessories: bangles, statement rings, belts, earrings or a headband will surround your baggy tee in a way that ensures you're comfy while making you feel dressed up and ready for whatever your day has in store. You've got your sunscreen, towel, a good book, and your bathing suit. You're all ready to hit the sand and surf, but wait — what do you wear for the trip there? Your coverup ensemble for the time spent in between the beach and your hotel is a magical one, a fleeting moment where the rules of fashion go lax and you can basically wear whatever you want because it's going to come off very soon to reveal your real outfit: the swimsuit. Whether decide to go ultra casual or slightly sleek, whether you throw on a sarong, a baggy tee, a cute skirt or a sundress, there's more freedom from your everyday garb. Who cares if your dress is a little too short, if your choose wild colors and patterns, or if you pair those high-waisted shorts with your bathing suit top instead of a real shirt? So we dare you, fashionistas, to embrace that fleeting sweet spot and as dress-up time the next time you're headed to the beach, and give your swimsuit an extra edge of creative sass. Searching for a quick way to jazz up your everyday look? Why not swap your normal purse out for a fun, eye-catching option? Summer calls for all kinds of bags — think oversized purses, dainty crossbodies, beach bags, overnight duffels for weekend getaways — so the possibilities are endless! Make a statement with an easy pop of color and personality for instant summer swag, from casual tee-and-jean-shorts ensembles to your cutest wedding-season dresses. Plus, you'll be forced to clean out your usual purse, so you'll feel extra light and summery :)
