7 Colorful Summer Outfits | Weekend to Wedding Guest

Hi friends! Happy Friday! We made it to the weekend, three cheers for that! I’m so thrilled you loved yesterday’s summer collection as much as I did!  What did you scoop up?  I’m definitely looking for every opportunity to wear those cheerful styles.  I’ve was pretty lazy about getting ‘ready’ this week and it showed. I’m definitely more productive and energized when I take the time to get myself together in the morning.  I’m sure that’s true for you too, right?  We all learned that during quarantine!

Today, I have several more fun and colorful Summer outfits to share with you, 7 to be exact!  They are mostly from Nordstrom and Loft, such pretty styles to wear to a wedding, party or when you just want a little pick me up to feel pretty!

GREEN FLORAL HI/LOW WRAP DRESS

Green isn’t usually a color I’m drawn to, but there’s no denying the color is so fresh for Summer.  This shade of green is beautifully vibrant with a mix of white florals and navy stems.  The combo is so pretty!

This style of dress is universally flattering with the high/low hem, ruffled skirt and surplice neckline. The back is smocked and the shoulder straps are adjustable. It also comes with a coordinating tie belt.

I thought the long earrings might be overkill, but I actually think they really make the outfit! What do you think?

Dress Fit : I’m wearing size 2 and I’m usually a 2P in Eliza J, so the petite would be a better fit for a petite gal.  The skirt would be more midi as intended, as opposed to maxi.  But, the bodice fits my 34D chest perfectly with the strapless bra.

TIERED SWING DRESS

I’m so crazy for the easy fit on this tiered swing dress.  It slips over your head and is loose fitting, making it a great option for lunch or easy breezy weekends. The color is so pretty in the light aqua! It’s also fully lined.  40% off

Dress Fit : I’m wearing size XSP and it hits me mid thigh, though it’s slightly longer in the back

NAVY FLORAL DRESS

If you’re heading a Summer wedding or party, this navy floral dress would be a wonderful option.  It’s sophisticated with the navy background, but still playful and fun with the lavender florals. The dress zips up the back with a hidden zipper and is fully lined to the knee.  I love how the asymmetric shape and ruffle lends that flirty vibe.

It’s on sale only $45 now, regularly $148.

GREEN OFF SHOULDER DRESS

See, I told you I’m all about the green lately!  This off shoulder dress is so sassy with the bare shoulders and handkerchief hem.  It slips on easily over your head, and the smocked shoulders comfortably stay in place without riding up.  The dress is lined to the knee.

The bodice has a sweet front tie and the tiered maxi skirt flows beautifully away from your body.

STRIPED ROMPER

How fun is this striped romper?! I like how different the shape is with the halter neckline and ruffled bottom that looks like a skirt, but is actually shorts. It ties at the side and has a cute keyhole back.

Romper Fit : I’m wearing a size XS, but if you’re in between sizes, I would size up.

Striped Romper

I’m so smitten with this new stud sandals!  They are fierce with the silver studs but they are actually quite comfortable on.  They’re flat, so super easy to walk in, and they have a cushioned footbed that pads every step.  You can adjust the ankle strap to fit your ankle.

SHORTS OUTFIT

Y’all saw this outfit in my last dressing room post, but I finally got to wear it out and about.  I like how flattering the paper bag waist shorts are because they draw your waist in.  This pair comes with a coordinating tie belt and elasticized back waist. They’re made of a washable linen/cotton blend.

The heeled sandals dress up the look and accentuate your legs, but flat sandals would work too.

Shorts Fit : I sized down to XXS

I literally want this ruffled sleeve top in every color- even the green and I hardly ever wear green.  But, as you’ll see later in this post, the green dress is one of my favorite things in this try-on.  I guess it’s becoming a new fave! The top is nice and soft and fits beautifully.  You’ll be able to mix and match it with jeans, shorts and skirts.

Top Fit : I’m wearing size XS

James was right, I love this bag! ? It’s the perfect over the shoulder tote for summer with a large inner zippered compartment, zip pocket and slip pockets. Don’t you just love changing bags for the season?! Kind of makes you feel like a whole new woman!

Do you have friends getting married this summer?  I know one couple that got married, just her and her hubby, with no guests and another couple doing a small backyard wedding.  It may not have been what they originally planned, but they are making the best of it and I wish them all the best! 

I hope you guys have a great Friday and a wonderful Father’s day weekend!
