Favorite Spring/Summer Casual Styles

I've always been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. I love wearing simple, versatile pieces and dressing them up with fun accessories that bring the entire outfit together. Being in a city where you do a lot of walking on a daily basis (whether it be going down to one of the local markets, window shopping on Union Street or over to AT&T Park for a Giants game), having a comfortable yet stylish outfit is key for me. With that in mind, here are some of the casual styles I'm currently loving, worn by a few of my favorite fashion bloggers.

Layered with a Denim Vest

A denim vest is a closet staple for spring and summer that never goes out of style, and what I love most about it is that it can be worn with pretty much anything for a chic and casual layered look. I could definitely see myself wearing this outfit for casual Fridays in the office.

Maxi with a Cap-Sleeve Tee

The maxi skirt is another piece that every woman should have in her closet.  I find them so comfortable to wear, and they can either be dressed up or down for a more relaxed look. They can also be worn in cooler weather (i.e. San Francisco year round) by adding a cardigan or a light jacket, which is a big plus for me.

Floral Romper with a Blazer or Cardigan

I really love the look of a cute floral romper paired with a blazer or a cardigan and a nice pair of wedge sandals or flats.  Rompers scream femininity and are perfect to wear for a date night or for a casual backyard barbecue.

Cutoffs with a Half Tucked Top

What can be more comfortable to wear than a classic pair of cutoff demin shorts with a cute loose-fitting top? Whether going out for brunch or running errands on a Saturday afternoon, denim cutoffs are the way to go. Why have one pair, when you can have two or three in a variety of colors.
