All Things Summer Under One Roof!
Changing of the seasons means changing up your wardrobe! The #1 thing that excites me most about seasons changing is watching the new trends flow in! This summer we’re seeing so many fun, colorful and boho inspired trends! With so many trends, it’s hard to know where to start! I like to divide and conquer my shopping all at once… at the mall! All the looks, price points and pieces all in one building! Plus, the Simon Empire Mall will be hosting a slew of events this summer you’ll want to attend to show off those new trends!
I’m going to highlight a few places inside the mall and what I shop at those stores! From essentials, transition pieces to year-round staples, the Empire Mall and their stores have it all!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram as I’ll be posting a $75 Empire Mall giveaway on Friday 5/24 at 9:00am! Click here to follow & find me on Instagram!
My first stop: The Buckle
These jeans have the ultimate denim trends all in one! They have a button fly-front, raw hem, un-even hem and dark wash! They fit me like a glove! I’ve already worn them out and got so many compliments! To see them styled another way, click here! I sized down one to a 26!
The striped linen cami has all the summer colors in one! This will also be the perfect transition piece for layering with a sweater or button-up. I would style it now with this lace bralette! The below picture is how you can layer it into Fall!
My next stop: Old Navy
Old Navy is a go-to for me for the whole family! They have an amazing rewards program and always have great sales! this season I’m loving their footwear! This pair is almost an exact dupe to the Madewell sandals but 1/5 of the price! Bright colors, unique styles and prices you can’t beat! It’s easy to stay on trend with these prices!
Next at Old Navy, this striped hoodie comes in 3 colors and instantly made me think of nights at the lake! It’s slouchy fit and beachy fabric, it’ll be perfect for a night by the bonfire! Not to mention, you could rock this for a casual weekend look or over your swimsuit at the pool! I’m wearing the Medium for an oversized fit!
My last stop: Athleta
Swimwear has changed for me over the years! Becoming a mom, I now look for more coverage, high-waisted styles. Athleta not only gives you multiple fit options, but their swimsuits are made with recycled materials! The colors are bright, on trend and made for movement and activity, no matter what kind! This top had comfortable straps and lots of support!
Would you believe it… I do NOT have a rain coat! With the crazy weather this year, every woman need to snatch one of these up! I love the longer length of this one, to protect more of my outfit. Best features, it’s made of recycled materials and it folds up into it’s own pocket! This is perfect for traveling and shoving back into your bag once you get in the office.
Be sure to attend these events!
These looks were just a glimpse of what’s inside the mall! There were soooo many places to shop and items I wanted to grab! There’s sure to be something for everyone at the Simon Empire Mall! To see all of the events this summer at the Empire Mall, click here!
