SUMMER shopping pieces to pair with your HARDWARE

Instead of shopping for that perfect handbag to go with your outfit, why not shop for styles that go with your handbag? Here are some easy-to-wear pieces I'm coveting for summer to couple with my HARDWARE bags:

Dresses:

These Jersey-knit dresses from J.Crew are so versatile and easy to wear. The slinky drape is due to the lightweight rayon/spandex. The empire waists flatter just about any figure. On the left: the Pavilion Dress; on the right: Bungalow Halter Dress.

I adore this sassy little baby-doll jumper from J. Crew. The Sconset Patchwork Madras Dress is perfect in J. Crew’s preppy, signature madras patchwork.

Tops:

I love this Penny V Neck Top by Ella Moss. The crochet top with jersey banding is perfectly sweet. The white color way is my favorite (and the model's haircut is pretty cute too). It's available at ShopBop

I love-love-love this Pleated Blouse by Castle Starr! It looks so vintage Jackie O. don't you think?! This can be dressed up or down depending on the shoes and jewelry you wear. The elbow-length puff sleeves add a touch of femininity. Available at: RonHerman

I love the oversized flowing style of this Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Cyia Top
This color is perfect in the sunflower yellow/brown/tan combo. Available exclusively at ShopBop


J.Crew's Nora Cami is nautical and modern in the vintage inspired Midnight Circle print in cotton poplin.

I'm not done shopping yet. I'll need some bottoms to go with these adorable tops. The three below found at ScoopNYC are all I'll need:
