Summer Lookbook: Items You Can't Miss

Summer 2014 is upon us, and that means it's time to prepare to show off the most popular fashions this season. While it certainly would be nice to wear everything you see on the runways, this might not exactly be within your budget. Lucky for you, there are many other ways you can still be fashionable and show off your style! Below you'll find some cute summer items that are sure to be staples in your closet all summer long. Get ready to have some fun, because the items that are in style are cuter than ever!

 

1. Ankle-Length Pants

 

Want to show off your beautiful legs without wearing shorts or a skirt? If so, these pants are definitely for you! They show off your ankles, and allow you to wear the highest of high heels to make your legs look even longer. What's even better about these pants is that you can wear them day or night with any top that you'd like. While black is a classic color, feel free to wear these in pastels or even neons if you want to express your style and love for summer colors.

 

2. Fluorescent/Neon Dress

 

Fluorescent colors will make you stand out, and are perfect for those bright summer days when you just want to show off your beautiful tan! A dress is the
perfect choice for the summer, especially if pants are going to be too hot. Break away from that little black dress and you'll be sure to get compliments everywhere you go.
