12 Spring/Summer Outfits That Are Effortless, Cool, & Actually Comfortable

As you can probably tell in this post, it was warmer out and then it got cooler again.

I start out in dresses, shorts, tanks, and breezy cotton and linen and I end up trading them out for jeans and pants near the end of the post. All part of living in northern NY and the ever changing weather and temperatures. What matters is I loved every single look and felt comfy and cute!

My Take on Coastal Cowgirl

This is my most favorite outfit that I’ve worn lately!

The colors are the best— lime green, white, and shades of brown, yes please!

The flowiness is perfection—no waistband and a cozy sweater is just the best.

And the vibes are just fabulous with the cowboy boots and oversized tote bag. I loved tying it all in with the gold and lime beaded hoop earrings from Sela designs (use Marissa10 for $$ off)
