An Airy Pom-Pom Scarf
While summer scarves may seem contradictory, trust me on this one—they’re not! A light, cottony scarf in a bright hue adds the perfect pop of color to an otherwise simple outfit. Plus, the cute pom-pom trim is right on trend. Try wearing your scarf with a white tee and denim cutoffs, or over a solid-colored sundress for cool evenings.

A Fringed Bag
We can’t all make it to Coachella this spring, but we sure can dress like it! A neutral, fringy satchel toughens up a super feminine look. It’s the handbag equivalent of the leather jacket. So, now you can look less ‘teenybopper at a One Direction concert’ and more ‘cool hippie at Woodstock. Pair a fringed bag with a lacey white dress and you’ll look concert-ready in no time.
