My summer essentials have become my denim jacket, tote bag, and this little fedora. The hat and jacket are only occasionally possible in this heat, but I like the sort of casual vibe they add to an outfit. I've never really thought of it before, but I do really like my summer outfits to feel a little less pulled-together and proper than my fall/winter ones. There's just something about summer that calls for things to appear relaxed--even when they aren't!
