If you would have asked me 3 months ago what my summer outfit formula will be, I would probably be clueless. But after viewing my own Instagram feed (which is now SHOP-ABLE via the link in my Insta profile) I realized that my go-to looks pretty much consist of flowy tops and pencil skirts. Sometimes I belt them and sometimes I don't, depending on how I'm feeling that day.

Having an outfit formula makes getting dressed and looking fabulous so much easier on those crazy rushed mornings. Just mix and match the pieces you already own to create an endless variety of looks. This formula is also cool, comfortable, and most important, flattering.

Flowy tops easily hide an array of imperfections (which of course we accept with gratitude and love...but still...), and work with almost every body type. And a pencil skirt is always slenderizing if the top part is covered! Right? After that, the fun really begins with accessorizing each outfit with a selection of belts, hats, jewelry and shoes. I find this formula to be more flattering than the one piece dresses that are all the rage now. I do wear them once in a while, but I always end up going back to and feeling prettiest in this combination.

But what if you don't have the pieces? Well you're in luck because I included a selection of tops and skirts, and even accessories and shoes, to shop from right here on the blog!
