It was barely a month ago that I was reveling in my first ever actual spring.  The whole city was in bloom and everyone had an extra pep in their step.  Well May has come and gone and summer is moving on in.  It feels like I barely just tucked away my winter coats, but with the 90°F weather rolling in, it’s about time for my denim and leather jackets to go into hibernation too.  Check out this roundup of all of my outfits this month and get ready to say goodbye to spring layers and hello to summer shorts!

four ways to wear: festival fashion.

It’s round three of my style collaboration with Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps, Amanda of Little Miss Fearless and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling.  This week, we’re showing you four ways to rock festival fashion and coincidentally, we all agreed that maxi dresses are the obviously the way to go!

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photo; what to wear at a musical festival; Forever 21 purple maxi dress; BaubleBar bronze geometric necklace; Sequin pave branch necklace; Rebecca Minkoff BF brown crossbody bag; Madewell maroon bracelet; C. Wonder snakeskin skinny cuff; J.Crew orange friendship bracelet; NOLA boutique red bracelet; Target glitter sandals

When brainstorming outfits for this challenge, I was tempted to reach for a graphic tank and cutoff denim, but that seemed a little too simple (ask me again when temps hit triple digits).  This maxi dress (last seen here and here) was a little more chic, but just as easy going.  Top it off with a stack of jewelry, a crossbody bag and my new favorite glitter sandals and I’m ready to jam!

See how Lynzy, Amanda and Caitlin interpreted festival fashion over on their blogs!
