I know there is a board for this but I don't do other boards. In the fall we had a fashion thread and I actually felt put together for once through the fall and winter. What am I supposed to be wearing for summer though? What are your summer wardrobe staples? Help!

I have plain colored cotton tees (heathered gray, heathered red, light blue, and white) from Target and J Crew factory that I pair with skinny jeans, Jean shorts, and Chino shorts and pants. I've got a pair of pink skinny cords, too. And a few casual blouses and Oxford shirts that I can dress up or down.

My normal go-to summer outfits are:
denim or khaki capri pants paired with fitted v-neck t shirts, tank tops, etc cotton skirts (a-line) with a more fitted tank/t-shirt dresses i have several dressy/flowy tops that can be put with the capri pants or skinny jeans maxi skirts
I don't do shorts in public.

My summer staples: Chino material capris Athletic shorts & capris Tank tops V neck solid tees Skinny jeans Maxi dresses T shirt dresses (right above the knee length) Toms and flip flops
Almost all my clothes are the same few colors- gray, olive, navy, cream, aqua, pink so most everything goes together and makes it easy to get dressed. This summer I'm breastfeeding so I've got more nursing friendly tops in the mix and more colors so it's not going to be quite as easy this year.
ETA: usually if I find something comfortable and cute (especially summer clothes) I'll buy one in every color. So I have 4 tanks, 3 shorts, etc all in same style but different colors. I like eddie bauer for summer clothes, most of my summer stuff is from there.

Skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, denim or linen shorts Old navy long length tanks or target tees Toms, converse, or flops
And I also try to keep color themes so matching is simple. Mine is grey, navy, purples, cream, and pink.
To make my simple outfits look more put together, I wear a long statement necklace with plain shirts, or a simple gold and pearl choker with v necks. Pearl studs almost every day. To dress up, I wear wedges instead of flats.

I"m in need of jewelry too - I go scarves in winter, and while it was only 48 degrees this morning, it is officially after memorial day here. I look when I'm in target and see nothing?

Mine are old, random, and/or gifts. My pearl stuff came from my great grandmother (from Avon llol, not fancy.) my fave necklace was a gift that came from pier 1, and it's a long antique gold chain with a huge peacock charm, that has purple, navy, grey, and green jewels on it. It's so odd and gaudy that it's perfection.

I usually wear dresses all summer because it's hot and I'm lazy. But I also I love denim shorts with sleeveless button down shirts to feel a bit more put together. Or more tailored shorts with plain cotton tees. Flats always.

I'm a member of a Facebook group called Frumpy Fighters.
She does offer a purchasable capsule, but that's totally optional.

Since I'm nursing I bought these really nice cotton nursing tops from h&m in six different colors. I'm still looking for bottoms to wear because I am dealing with post partum belly still and the c section shelf from J. I would like to get a few pairs of chinos that are a mid rise but I'm scared of looking too mom jeans . Has anyone found something in between regular pants and maternity that sort of holds everything in? I I just wore compression undies until everything evened out. I got the c-panty ones. Then I could wear any kind of pants.

I work in a tech office, so I have two different looks, one for work and one for weekends.
For work, lots of dresses in the summer, with blazers and/or denim jacket to dress them up for work. Dark wash skinny jeans and black skinny stretch pants with flowy linen tops or button-downs with the sleeves rolled up. Almost always flats, but sometimes block heels or wedges.
For home, still the skinny jeans and the black skinny stretch pants, which I also have in capri-length, but paired with not-quite-fitted t-shirts. Lots of t-shirt or tank dresses. Birkenstocks or flip flops.
