Summertime and the Living isn't Always Easy

A new season and yet another fashion crisis to overcome. For teenagers summer is one long weekend and it's casual wear all season. As you may have read before, dressing casual isn't my forte, and what makes it even trickier is most of the time plans aren't officially made until after I've picked my outfit. So how do we stop ourselves from resorting to a t-shirt, cut-offs and flip flops everyday? There's not one simple answer but I've found that if you pick one piece of clothing or an accessory to focus on, the rest of your outfit can be more laid-back. For example, you might wear a pair of cute patterned shorts with a plain t-shirt, and sandals, maybe even a ring or two, so the shorts are your focus and everything else complements them. During summer you don't want lots of clothes or accessories weighing you down so the motto is definitely less is more, in the sense that one accessory, rather than three is a good idea, and many times you won't need a jacket. Of course every situation is going to be different and sometimes you are going to have to go home and change, but if you stick to wearing outfits that you don't mind doing cartwheels in then you might be able to avoid it.
