Dressing for Summer

I wrote a blog post several months ago about dressing for success. Well, that post was written in the dead of winter. Y'all, it is easy for me to get up and dressed in what my dear friend Kelly and I affectionately call real clothes every day...in the winter. The summer is tons and tons more difficult! I think it may be that I know I am going to end up in running shorts, a sports bra, and a tank top by evening for Cross Country Practice. Maybe, though, it is the 90 degree heat we are experiencing with 100% humidity here in SC. OR...it could be that I have approximately 5 loads of laundry in a pile in my guest room floor that needs to be folded and put away, and it is just easier to grab a tshirt and sweats from the pile than to make a real outfit. No matter the reason, I want to continue my trend of real clothes every day, so I did what every good 21st century girl does and I consulted Pinterest. I chose six outfits that I think I can recreate with what I have in my closet, and hopefully, these inspirations will get me on track for more!
