How to Wear Your Favorite Summer Treats

When the weather finally turns sunny and warm, why not turn to your favorite icy summer treats for more than just a delicious snack? Here are 5 summer treats that you can take a little fashion inspiration from next time the ice cream truck rolls around your neighborhood.

The Creamsicle 
Nothing says summer quite like this refreshing mix of tangy orange and smooth vanilla. Make this work for your wardrobe by balancing a neutral color like white or cream with a bright pop of orange! Try the Orange Juliet Dress, $89.99 or the Backyard Dance Dress, $47.99.

 

The Strawberry Shortcake Bar
It’s sweet. It’s pink. It’s covered in cake crumbs. What is not to love about the strawberry shortcake bar? I cannot think of anything better to inspire an outfit than one of the girliest ice cream treats on the market. Channel the strawberry shortcake bar by focusing on combinations of deeper shades of red and light pink balanced with creams and whites. The result: an effortlessly feminine look that’s almost good enough to eat! Try the Pink Button Front Lace Blouse, $75.00 or the Park Performance Dress, $47.99.

     

Frozen Lemonade
Without a doubt, frozen lemonade is my favorite frozen treat of summer. Adding a sunny punch of yellow to your wardrobe is an easy way to keep your look cheerful and bright. You can choose to go for a more tart bright yellow or a more pale yellow– both equally alluring. Try the Lemon Sour Dress, $54.99 or the Olive & Oak Strapless Sweetheart Dress, $69.00.

 

The Popsicle
A beloved summer favorite, taking inspiration from the popsicle will surely add a rainbow of colors into your closet. Take a lesson from the popsicle and feel free to try every flavor combination you can think of! Rock one bold color on its own, or (if you’re feeling especially daring) pair a few colors together. Try the Pretty in Pinata Dress, $44.99 or the City Center Dress, $54.99.

 

The Fudgsicle
Smooth, dreamy, and chocolaty. There’s nothing quite like a fudgsicle on a hot, sunny day. Work the fudgsicle into your wardrobe by focusing on light brown and neutral tones. Try the Pleated Ballerina Dress Love, $68.00 or the Sparkle and Fade Dancer Dress, $49.00.
