As you all know, I’m a sucker for white textured pieces. My closet is full of embroidered tops and dresses, all in white, so it’s no surprise that summer is my favorite time for fashion. What makes summer style so special is the unique mix of colorful prints and textures that just don’t work in any other season. Global-inspired prints are some of my absolute favorite for summer — think tribal, aztec, geo, etc. As for textures, breezy materials like gauze, linen, and soft cottons are a must. Take a look at the best prints & textures of the season and how to wear them.
Global Prints
A fun way to incorporate prints into your summer wardrobe is with a pair of soft cotton shorts. They’re super comfortable, flattering, and versatile. The casual material makes them perfect for a day at the beach, and the global-inspired print allows you to transition them to night. I snagged these blue shorts for just $19.94 at Old Navy! I paired them with this soft textured top (just $24.99!) and some chunky wooden heels to dress up the look a bit.
Breezy Textures
What I love about summer textures is their subtle impact on an outfit. A gauze dress doesn’t necessarily make a statement, but the breezy feeling it emits is what truly makes the outfit. This light gauze dress is the perfect slip-on-and-go piece for summer. It’s airy enough for super hot days and layers well when there’s a bit of chill in the air. Plus, it’s only $30 — how can you say no?
Linen is another material you’ll find in everything from tops to dresses to jackets. I love this summer take on a classic fall jacket. The loose fit and linen-blend make it versatile for both seasons, and since it’s Old Navy, it’s seriously affordable (just $37!). I finished the look with a new necklace I picked up in San Diego!

GradeMiners is a professional academic writing service which could draw you up a killer personal statement. It will help you distinguish yourself from other applicants and stand out from the crowd looking to take a vacant course spot. YOUR spot! So don’t settle for an average text because admission tutors have to read thousands of those one-size-fits-all, template-based personal statements.

The emergence of accounting assignment writing services primarily stems from the challenges students face during their learning journey. Accounting courses, as complex subjects that combine theory and practice, demand a high level of understanding and mastery from students. Simultaneously, students may be tasked with assignments from other subjects, leading to substantial academic pressure and limited time. In such circumstances, some students might opt to seek accounting assignment writing services at https://www.lunwenhelp.com/accounting-daixie/ to alleviate their academic burden and achieve better grades.

Customer feedback and case studies are important ways to understand the quality of Paper ghostwriting http://australiaway.org/a/paperdaixie/ services. This is like checking hotel reviews before traveling, judging service quality based on the experiences of others.
