6 Summer Basics I Am Wearing On Repeat

6 Summer Basics I Am Wearing On Repeat

6 Summer Basics I Am Wearing On Repeat

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. This week did fly by, and I can’t believe how fast the summer is going. We’re headed to the rodeo tonight, which is one of my favorite summer things to do. It’s Utah’s Pioneer Day this weekend (Utah’s celebration of the pioneers arriving in the state.) Parades, fireworks, and Rodeos are celebrated like the fourth of July. Ogden Rodeo is one of the top 5 in the country. 

Sharing one of Summer’s favorite things to do, I thought It would also be fun to share with you 6 Summer Basics I Am Wearing On Repeat. You know those pieces you have in your closet you find yourself constantly grabbing and wearing over and over? Every season we all have those pieces we love to wear and feel good in, and they seem to go with everything. So here are six basics I seem to grab on repeat.

 

With a pull-on design and the slim built in, these supersoft, cropped wide-leg pants are the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

1.] Bodysuit 2.] Amazon 2 piece set 3.] Sandal 4.] Free people short 5.] Soma Dress 6.] Spanx wide leg crop

1.]Bodysuit by Klassy Network- A bodysuit with built-in padding, so you don’t have to wear a bra. Go braless in style! Support Level: Low-Medium Fit: True to Size Design: Thin lined and ribbed material Fabric: 92% Polyester

 

2.] Amazon short Set-The Off The Shoulder Knit Top is a warm-weather knit top! Fitting relaxed, this stretchy top features Designed with a shoulder-baring neckline and ¾ sleeves for an elevated touch. Pair yours with the matching knit shorts for the most comforting experience! Lazy knitting suit

 

 

3.] Sandal– From Sam Edelman, the Josselyn Suede Leather Studded Platform Clogs 

 

 

4.] Free People Short– Feathery frayed hems punctuate these faded high-waist shorts designed with edgy distressing for casual-cool days.

 

 

5.] Soma Dress– Take your summer style to the max in this smooth, sweeping maxi dress with a built-in bra for easy comfort. Soft material doesn’t hug too close and lets your body breathe while maintaining a natural shape.

 
 
 
6.] Spanx wide cropped pant–

With a pull-on design and a slim built-in, these supersoft, cropped wide-leg pants are the perfect addition to your wardrobe. A great summer pant is worn with a bodysuit, a teeshirt, or a tank, for that effortless summer outfit.

 12 weeks  after my First (Scar revision treatment) laser treatment round 3 CO2 doing Excel V Laser treatment.

🚨Scar revision 
C02 2 kinds of laser
Deep core - (first 2 treatments)
Or EXcel V - (3rd treatment)
*Excel V - redness & topical
*Deca- core & topical 

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 6 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment!
