Summer Transition

Raise.com has invited me to share my wardrobe's journey and transition into summer. So, through Molly Pocket I am excited to share with you my summer essentials, my favourite prints for this season and show you how my Irish blood effects my NYC summer outfits!

Here are a few of my Summer Essentials. Points to note:

1. Invest in denim cut-offs, all sizes, shapes and colours.

2. Summer heels are important, but summer flats even more so.

3. The fedora. Need I say more?

4. Protect those eyes. But ladies, do it with STYLE!

LOOK ONE.

So, here we go! Growing up with Irish weather, this time of year didn't bring such a drastic transition to my wardrobe essentials. I am someone who is very much stuck in her ways, and even though the sticky NYC weather sometimes forces me to drop a few hundred layers, I still like to incorporate some winter items in my summer looks.

Look One. Every girl, coming into this season should have a summer dress. This Safari/Military style dress is paired above with fringed Zara mules and a cosy leather jacket. While in New York one may not need the jacket in 100 degree heat, in Ireland it would be a necessity. Right girls? So, don't be afraid to re-use winter purchases to emphasize your summer ensemble.

LOOK TWO.

This outfit makes two statements. The first being that 'the strappy sandals' are a summer must-have. While secondly, the white shirt is a Molly Pocket essential, that plays a huge part in my wardrobe ALL YEAR ROUND! TWS (the white shirt) for me is a staple piece that always makes an outfit, whether its paired with old ripped Levi shorts, skinnies, or even worn open over a cute summer dress. DO IT, try all three!

LOOK 3.

My final look SCREAMS SUMMER! This hawaiian print shirt-dress is an old favourite of mine and rarely comes out to play, but when it does, it never lets me down! Even though this print never goes out of style, this summer I am CRAZY FOR CAMO! I am lusting after anything and everything with a hint of camouflage this season, so keep an eye out on Molly Pocket for an over-kill of military-inspired  items and deep green hues. 

This summer the tote bag has to be my number one choice. I rarely leave the house without a large bottle of water, my Beats, iPad, Kindle and a million other lady-essentials, therefore the tote is the perfect bag for Molly Pocket's summer '14 looks.
