The temps are HOT here in Boston and I'm loving it!  Everything improves in the nice weather including my health, social life, and mental health...not to mention my Vitamin D level has increased!

Because my lifestyle has become so casual, I wear a lot of pieces on repeat.  Here's are my recommendations for simple chic pieces to beat the heat without compromising style. 

A white dress

A lightweight jumpsuit

This jumpsuit is SO comfortable that it feels like pjs. Seriously! The fabric is lightweight and cool.  Throw a jacket over it for a bit more coverage, or a tee or sweatshirt to make it look like pants!  

Shop here.  Under $60 and lots of other patterns and colors too.  Additional jumpsuits here and here (on sale)

Hat  Mine is old but I love this one! 

Sunnies  On sale for under $20!

Sandals (same brand very similar and on sale!)

A little black dress 

This is the dress that you can dress up or down and will wear on repeat.

Here are some of my favorites:

White jeans

One of my favorite styles this season is a kick flare! You can wear any type of shoe with them I love the summery cropped length.
