How We Style It - Summer BBQ Style

So you all learned here that I love a good summer BBQ. And as I mentioned, a lot of the fun is in the outfit obviously. So Allison and I jumped at the chance to style our own looks for the occasion. I even made my boyfriend BBQ the night before just to set the mood. Ya I know, sucks to be him ;)

What I love most about a summer BBQ ensemble is that anything goes. You can be super casual or you can dress it up. A lot of it depends on the setting- whether it be a laid-back gathering after a day on the lake or a more organized event at your home. What we have for you in today's How We Style It are looks that work for a variety of settings and we hope to inspire you to have fun dressing up for this weekend's festivities!

Look 1: Pretty casual and relaxed. Pop of color with the blue scarf and the white shorts are a classic summer staple.

Look 2: Taking the casual look up a notch with a cool SoCal twist. The maxi skirt is awesome (and hello OLD NAVY!!)

Look 3: A fun wedge and a cream shift dress elevate the look but the jean jacket keeps it from looking too stuffy.
