DOWNTOWN vibes

I am so glad summer is finally here! Two of my daughters have birthdays in June and it seems like they figure out a way to make the whole month their time to celebrate. One of their favorite things to do is to go to our favorite donut spot downtown. I’m sure we’ll be making it there to pick up some unicorn donuts a few times this month. Downtown is one of my favorite places to go in the summer. I love the restaurants and wandering in and out of shops. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite downtown looks.

Day Dress

There are so many fun places to eat downtown. I love grabbing lunch or coffee when my girls are in school. I make it a point to try and meet friends to try something new. And I love wearing a casual dress to switch things up.

A casual dress is perfect when you want something a little more dressed up than shorts. I get in the habit of not wearing them because I forget they can be casual too. I normally try to find one that has a mid to longer hem so that I can wear it all day without feeling like it’s too short. You could get a lot of use out of a jersey knit t-shirt dress as a casual dress. You can wear it with sandals, wedges or your favorite sneakers.

Date Nightout Dress

I love dressing up to go out to dinner with my husband. I find it fun to take the time to get ready for a night out. I like to be able to grab dinner and then go for a walk and enjoy the warm weather. We also really like to find live music. Normally when I think of dressing up it seems to always involve heels. I try to find a cute pair of wedges every summer that I can actually walk in. Finding a dress can be hard too. It’s one of those things that when you’re not looking you find the perfect one. So, if you find a dress you feel cute in, grab it!

Shopping Look

There are so many cute stores downtown. It is fun to try and get something unique that you can’t find anywhere else, whether that be a piece of decor for my house or a cute piece of clothing. When I shop for clothes I always like to wear pants. That way if I want to try on a top, I have a pair of jeans that I know fits well. For shoes, you want to wear a pair that you can walk in comfortably. If you’re not going to go with a cute pair of sandals, look for a pair of mules or some shoes with a bow on them.
