Must Haves for Summer

      Following the advent of summer, the urge to shop a new wardrobe collection is obvious. Must haves for the summer are obvious but sometimes we get confused seeing the piles of clothes in the store for Spring Break sale, perplexed, what to pick out of the pile,sometimes we just walk away.Best thing is to know in advance what you really want. Here is a list of stuff that "The Fashionistas" recommends to all girlfriends, which I am sure you will like. As summer arrives every girl gets prepared to flaunt their sun kissed skin but when going to school we must carefully choose our wardrobe such that we should look smart and most importantly posh. No need to flaunt over the bound, leave a bit to imagine too!!



Confused? Black always does miracle,but in summer prefer color blocks or nude this year!

        Best thing is to know in advance what you really want. Here is a list of stuff that "The Fashionistas" recommends to all girlfriends, which I am sure you will like. As summer arrives every girl gets prepared to flaunt their sun kissed skin but when going to school we must carefully choose our wardrobe such that we should look smart and most importantly posh. No need to flaunt over the bound, leave a bit to imagine too!!

This is a bit too much, wear something elegant to school, which shows you respect your professors and the institute. Don't end up looking like you are there just for a good damn thing*! Wearing clothes elegantly earns you respect, who says looking sexy and elegant are different? Its easy to look both. Leave the revealing clothes for the weekends and night outs!!
I love the look of Ashley Tisdale, she is wearing a white short and an elegant top. Always pair short with something elegant, it will make you look sexy as well as elegant too!

       Every wardrobe must have a cute white shorts, they just go with any color,look hot and sexy! Wear an over sized tee with a micro or shorts, wear thigh high boots to give a sexy look.One graphic tee is all we need to survive the heat of the season! Graphic tees which fit slim on the body go very well with the shorts, skirts as well as jeans, brands like American Eagle and Ed Hardy are my personal favorite. Just one tee can serves your purpose through out the summer.

The versatile Graphic Tee, wear it anywhere, all your beloved celebs can be spotted in cute graphic tees now and then.

       Since we are not covered with layers of clothes in summer, its the best time to take out all the accessories you have and flaunt them. Shop for accessories; wear bangles, you can always color block them. A few stylish necklaces and earrings to go with all sorts of look are a must on the shopping list! But don't look like a chandelier. Always loose the last accessory you put!Keep it smart ! If you are wearing bigger earrings, wear a simple pendent long chain, wear lots of bangles, match them with the dress or your earrings.

Sunglasses and shoes for summer are quite different from the ones we wear in the winter or on a rainy day. Don't forget to get the beach Sandals!! Stilettos and wedges are too needed.
