August is always one of the hottest months for us in Southern California… and September is often just as bad. So when I was considering what to put in this month’s capsule wardrobe post, I wanted to keep fabrics lightweight, pieces versatile enough for the pool or lounging, and materials soft….
And while it’s the hottest month, hands down, it’s also the month where I begin to *slightly* crave jeans and cardigans… I just try to make them summertime appropriate by mixing them with short sleeves, shorts, and/or sandals…
So what you see today is exactly what I described above. All items I’ve shared before… whether it was part of the past several month’s capsule wardrobe, my summer essentials round-up, or a travel guide. Most of the pieces are “general” enough that if you have something similar the outfits will look pretty much the same (i.e. don’t need these exact denim shorts… another black swimsuit or black tank, etc….).
A few styling notes….
Many of the looks are fairly monochromatic so I recommend using accessories to make the outfits look different. Gold accessories are one of my favorite ways… I love Shashi (these tubular earnings are so lightweight and a favorite from last year, as is this chain necklace), this gold beaded anklet (10% off with code SHANNON, identical option here), and this necklace is a newer purchase from Jenny Bird but makes a beautiful statement…
And hats are another way… weather it’s a cap or a straw hat… Lack of Color has some really cute new ones too…
I did include a pair of jeans this month… AGOLDE makes all my favorite denim (sustainably made as well)… the fit and feel just always works for me (and I’ve always struggled to find great denim)…
I’m still all about slides and sandals for this final full month of summer… and all these outfits will work perfectly with your favorite pair.
Have a great day everyone!
