Ultimate Summer Style Staples

This post is sponsored by Saks OFF 5TH and ShopStyle.  All opinions are my own.

If you’ve been following me for a while, I think you’ve probably noticed that I’m a big lover of neutrals and I mostly have a casual style, leaning more towards classic pieces that I can wear for years to come.  I will mix in trendier pieces here and there as well, such as leopard print…which at this point almost constitutes itself as a neutral in my book!  I have partnered with Saks OFF 5TH again this month to share my ultimate summer style staples with you, all of which are under $100.  I love Saks OFF 5TH because I can find crazy good clothes, shoes, & accessories at amazing price points.  Things do sell out quickly, so if there’s something you love, go ahead and grab it!  I also shared similar, alternative picks for my items below in case any have sold out already.

BCBGeneration Striped A-Line Day Dress (similar here) | Vintage Havana Cici Leather Leopard-Print Calf Hair Sneakers (similar here) | Vigoss Light Wash Denim Trucker Jacket (similar here and here -love the embellishments!) | Rebecca Minkoff Jean Mac Leather Crossbody Bag (similar here and here)

I love this striped a-line day dress because it’s perfect for hot summer days, under $40, and looks great with a pair of sneakers, like these Vintage Havana Cici Leather Leopard-Print Calf Hair Sneakers.  I absolutely love the leopard details on these shoes and the velcro.  I will for sure be wearing these into fall!  I grabbed this Vigoss denim jacket to go with it because I love the light wash!  It’s under $50 and is a must have style staple not just for summer but year round.  I’m wearing a small in the dress and medium in the jacket.  Shoes run true to size as well!

As for the bag, it’s a Rebecca Minkoff leather crossbody bag and I was so excited to find this.  Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite handbag designers and to be able to snag this for 50% off the original price kind of felt like Christmas morning.  It also comes in black!  You can check out other Rebecca Minkoff items at Saks OFF 5TH here.

Pure Navy Everyday Fit Rolled-Sleeve T-Shirt (similar here) | Joe’s Jeans High-Rise Distressed Denim Shorts (similar style here and here) | Saks Fifth Avenue Caleigh Leopard Slide Sandals (similar here) | Rebecca Minkoff Leather Crossbody Bag (similar here and here)

Does it get any better than a classic white tee + jean shorts combo?  Only slightly, perhaps, when paired with these gorgeous leopard slide sandals.  I think the sandals really elevate this look!  Paired again with my Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag.  You all will be seeing this bag a lot…it is for sure a new favorite.  I’m wearing a medium in the everyday tee, it’s under $15 and is a perfect layering piece for when the weather gets cooler.  The shorts run a little big, so I’d say size down one from your normal size!  This outfit is the quintessential effortless, chic look and all of these items are the ultimate summer style staples.  All of the pieces are so versatile you can do different mixing and matching for tons of different looks.

For example, here’s the dress from above, tied up to make it a tee and paired with the denim shorts!
