Is it just me, or do you feel busier during the summer months, too? More hours of daylight means more time for activities after work or well into the evening on days off. What you should be concentrating on is filling that time to the maximum with activities, trips near and far, meet ups with friends, solo jaunts, etc. What you shouldn't fill your pretty head with are thoughts like "what am I going to wear today?" Because every moment you spend starting into your closet clueless at what to pull out is a moment you could've been spent in the sun. Yeah, truth bomb. These easy summer separates in-store now will have you off to your next engagement quicker than you can text "OMW!" Maisie tee, by Curator $66 Pictured here in blue/gray, this is 100% cotton ribbed tee is fitted and flattering, perfect for being tucked into a high-waisted skirt or shorts (more on those in a bit..) or left untucked and paired with jeans and sandals. The scoop-neck begs for a necklace, and our simple, yet striking Liv necklace is just the one for the job. Court Shorts by Curator, $128 Peach colored high-waisted shorts. Some things you gotta see to believe, and these shorts are one of them. Pay attention to proportions and style these roomy shorts with a fitted top or tank. We love love LOVE the bow tie belt that takes these shorts from casual to casual and chic in only a few loops. Descending stairs has never been more fun. Campus Tote by Artifact Bag Co., $98 Pictured here in Blue Bird, we currently have this water-resistant duck canvas tote in 4 other colors in-store. Made in Omaha, NE, these bags meet the challenge of being your go-to every day bag that's also built to last. Oh and like I'd forget to mention aesthetics; the Campus Tote is dang cute. The natural, vegetable tanned leather straps are secured to the canvas with sleek steel rivets, and the roomy front and side pockets give you plenty of room to comfortably tote every thing from your iPad, beverage of choice, and/or diapers and wipes for the baby. Grab, fill, n' go is the name of this tote's game. Best for last, the jewelry. All betsy & iya, available in-store and online. We went heavy on You + Me, pt. 2 pieces for this outfit, but also mixed in classic b&i favorites. I get such a kick out of pairing new and existing b&i pieces together. It's like introducing childhood pals to your current group of adult friends, and having them get along swimmingly. I encourage you to mix & match to your heart's content and see what pieces seem like they've been lifelong BFFs. For inspiration, here are the pieces you see Barrie wearing in this post: Liv necklace, Roko ring, Kasita ring, Makou cuff, Mollia cuff, and Fremont Bridge cuff. This outfit is just one of the options in-store now that's perfect for all your summer excursions.
