I got together with a couple of my girlfriends from graduate school yesterday, who I hadn’t seen in a couple of years, and it was such a good feeling to reconnect with good friends, actually hug each other, and have conversation in person. I lean more towards the introverted side (ambivert to be exact) that I sort of felt as if I didn’t need that over the past year… yet being with them (and seeing another friend from college earlier in the week) reminded me of the importance of human contact…. introvert or extrovert. Looking very forward to more of that this summer and beyond…

For yesterday’s lunch I ended up throwing on a white ruffle blouse (seen above) with a pair of cut-offs (went with the white pair)… both items from my summer essentials list. It wasn’t until the drive home that I decided how I wanted to do July’s Capsule Wardrobe. I originally wasn’t going to do one… I felt as if I had just done the “16 Summer Essentials” post and that it mirrored pretty closely what I’d be including in this month’s capsule anyway… but then I looked at June’s Capsule and realized there were items on it that I would likely be wearing on repeat this month as well, so I decided to combine “June’s Capsule Wardrobe” post with the “16 Summer Essentials Post” to create July’s capsule. Some of the items overlap, but none of the items from today are “new…” and yet combining the two gives you endless outfit matches and opportunities for the month ahead. Which is just a testament to how having a capsule wardrobe can make getting ready so much easier… with pieces that seamlessly mix and match together… and how you can easily add in a couple new pieces here and there without feeling as if you need an entirely new wardrobe.

A few styling notes…..

For these warm summer days I love accessorizing outfits with straw hats (love Brixton, Janessa Leone, and Hat Attack….) or an easy, neutral, cap….

As far as shoes go, I still think these trainer sneakers are a great option for long days on your feet (I’m bringing them with us on our coastal road trip with the girls later this month), and these sporty sandals, puffer slides, Freedom Moses sandals, Beek slides (15% off with code SHANNON15) + raffia slides are all easy options that would look great with the items below.

And as always, I’ve included one outfit for everyday of the week below….

Hope it helps for July + that everyone has a great day!
