This summer is all about dresses, straw bags, sandals and breezy blouses. All you need is these few pieces to have the ultimate starter pack that will have you ready for any summer scenario. Whether you wear the pieces exclusively or mix them with other wardrobe staples, here are five fashionable yet budget-friendly pieces to add to your wardrobe.
1. The throw-on-with-anything dress.
I know that dark prints are usually reserved for cloudier months, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little black in summer. The flowy fabric and straight design is made more sophisticated with the crossed V-neck and light long sleeves. The ribbon around the waist cinches everything in, giving you a great figure in this summer dress.

2. Flowy Blouse
I love the colour and the vibe that this blouse gives off. It’s got hole-embroidered sections at the front and down the sleeves, which gives it such a romantic summer style. This works tucked in or out of little denim shorts or even a light summer skirt.

3. The perfect summer straw bag
There’s no better bag this season than woven. It’s all the rage. Whether it’s to be out by the pool, or at a late night dinner with friends, many a high-end designer has incorporated the woven style into their summer collections. Here’s a great one on a budget.

4. The knot flat sandal
Very easy to slip on. Comfortable to walk in and a great way to show off your summer pedi. Shoe Mart has these sliders in a few different colours and styles, but black will always be my go-to, especially if you want them to match with a whole range of summer outfits.
