I know it’s not officially summer yet, but the sun was seriously out until 8:30 last night. I love it so much! For my first day back in Atlanta, the weather was pretty gloomy in the afternoon. We had a little rain for a couple hours – I felt I was back in Florida where there are afternoon showers pretty much daily in the summer.

Of course after being out of town for almost a week, I had a lot to do when I got back. I decided to just throw on some jean shorts and this striped top. I wanted a jacket to repel the water in case it rained while I was out, so I added this faux leather jacket. Of course I had to elevate the look a little with some heels.

I like how this look turned out, but for some reason lately I keep feeling like I have nothing to wear. I think I need more simple summer basics in solid/neutral colors. I’m not always in the mood for certain prints or bright colors. My growing collection of pendant necklaces is helping, but I’d love some suggestions for summer staples!

What’s your favorite summer staple?
