Nope. Not doing it. I’m still not coming to you with all my Nordstrom anniversary sale picks and dressing room photos. Because at this point I’m certain that you’ve seen it all and honestly you don’t need one more person showing you their big yellow shopping bags 😉
But I DID promise to show you some more of my favorite summer trends in general, so here we go! I know you busy mamas are always telling me that it can be so hard to stay on top of the trends need to make sure you snag and incorporate into your wardrobe. So I promise to show you things that are totally wearable and timeless enough that you don’t feel like you have to be “your 22yr old self spending fifteen bucks at Forever21” in order to pull it off.
First up, and this is a two-for-one here ladies….the main trend I’m talking about today is palm leaves. Also, so hot right now are one-piece swimsuits. So combine both of those, and you get one killer look for the beach! Maybe save the low cut version for vacay with the hubs….trying to wrangle your terrified-of-water-in-the-eyes 3yr old while wearing this one at the community pool could prove to be…problematic.
Another great way to execute the palm print is in a chic dress. Pick a silhouette that leans more sophisticated, and the palm print will translate as a super-luxe summer look.

The modern palm prints are NOT your grandmas palm prints, so snag a piece or two and embrace your inner beach girl. You’ll feel like you’re wearing a little piece of paradise even if the nearest actual palm trees are miles away.
