1. The Polka Dot Swim Suit is one style that isn't going away anytime soon. You can wear it for a classic, vintage retro look or switch it up and pair it with a pair of high-waisted sailor shirts for a nautical look. For such versatility at $10, this swim suit is a must-have! 210 E. Olympic Blvd, #104 Los Angeles, CA 90015
2. A Boho Straw Hat is a must for summer, not just because it's a nod to the 70's inspired trend, but it also protects your skin from the summer's rays. A wide-brimmed hat like the one above will do the trick. Aside from the practicality, it's a perfect accessory to wear with a maxi dress, tank and shorts or with your swim suit! $5, Princess Fashion 1141 S. Santee St. #A Los Angeles, CA 90015
3. A Striped Tank is a summer essential because it's light-weight and versatile. Throw it on during your off-days and layer it for cool summer nights. $19.99, Just-4-U 923-2 Santee Street Los Angeles, CA 90015
4. Day-to-Night Shorts is a necessary item especially for the full-time workers! With its relaxed boyfriend cut, Heartloom's black shorts are wearable for the day but once the sun sets, the subtle feminine details like the drawstring and gold stud details on the pockets give it enough bling for a night out look.
