On the Go Summer Fashion-Practical and Comfortable

Often times, my summer days quickly melt into the sunset evening. If you are having a beach or outdoorsy day, think about how your pieces can be used to quickly transform into an evening outfit. I love to layer with light layers, especially since most indoor places have air conditioning. My favorite underneath layer is a tank top with a built in bra. I have found many swimwear tank tops that are actually quite dressy. For evening wear, I then layer my favorite sheer type shirt over the dressy beach tank and bring along a jacket in case it gets chilly. Sashes of light flowing fabric can quickly be tied in the messy wind blown hair to dress it up. Summer wear can be fashionable while being comfortable and practical.
