Sweet, sweet summertime — I can almost taste it [that could also be the watermelon caprese bites I’m currently popping in my mouth]. Indiana has been dripping in sunshine recently which has me reaching for tops sans sleeves, pants sans legs [aka shorts] and chilled wine over my typical red. To celebrate this change of pace from rain to blue skies, I thought I’d share a few recent outfits that have me stepping sandal-first into summer in case you need a little inspiration for these warmer temps!

All of these looks below are from Nordstrom Rack – the home of really cute items at even cuter prices 😉 I like to think of Nordstrom Rack as a treasure chest, the more you keep digging, the better the treasures get. They have such a big variety of inventory from brands you know, love and trust, all marked down. You can score free shipping when you spend $89, or even better — you can shop online and pick up for free at Nordstrom Rack and select Nordstrom stores!

Let’s jump into these summer-ready outfits — first up, the under $40 dress that is tempting me to wear it everywhere I can think of – concerts? Check. Baby showers? Double check. Date night with my husband? Triple check. She’s flirty, she’s flowery, and she’s fun!

Strapless Blouson Dress • Socialite [true to size, wearing in small] // Icey Embellished Espadrille Wedge Sandal • Steve Madden

If shorts are more your thing, I’ve got you [or at least your thighs] covered 😉 The best part about these shorts? They are an activewear material but look dressy at the same time. It’s like getting a cone for your ice cream and realize it’s also dipped in chocolate. Double win.

Espsy Cotton Gauze Tank Top • BeachLunchLounge [true to size, wearing in small] // High Rise Commuter Shorts • 90 Degree By Reflex // Similar Shorts // Icey Embellished Espadrille Wedge Sandal • Steve Madden

Last but certainly not least, can we talk about this top that matches this tree blooming in our yard perfectly? Talk about the most feminine version of camouflage there is 😉 If there’s one pattern that will never go out of style in summer, it’s florals. Such a cute and easy look for summer showers or in the workplace!
