Summer Necessities

Tawny Smith May 19, 2017

Living in the PNW seriously SUCKS sometimes. It's beautiful here, but we get like maybe two months of summer weather and then it just rains all the time again. This year, it has been extra painful. This is like the first week with not just sun, but warm temperatures to go along with that! FINALLY! It has been sunny from time to time, but it's just a tease, cause the temperature has stayed in the 60's for the most part. This next week though... the weather is supposed to be in the 70's and 80's. Praise Jesus. 

This is why I'm sharing my TOP 3 favorite summer must haves. My new favorite online oasis has become TOBI. The products honestly are amazing. I don't like promoting products that I don't believe in and I don't care to gas up a company that doesn't seem worth the hassle. But with Tobi, from start to finish, my experience has been amazing. The shipping was incredibly fast, the products look even better in person, and the quality is outstanding.

I'll start with look number one. My goal for this summer is to just be comfortable and cute (honestly, that's my goal all the time cause comfort is like my main priority). I was telling a friend that I think I may just invest into a large quantity of muumuus and belts and just let my summer wardrobe consist of that. Luckily though, I have been able to achieve my goal of comfort and cuteness without visiting the women's muumuu department (yet) thanks to Tobi! This little sundress is the easiest thing to slip on. It's flowly and not at all form fitting, which many of us women can appreciate, especially after a large meal from afternoon brunch with the girls. Cause we know those always result in group pictures AFTER YOU'VE STUFFED YOUR FACE. But in this dress... eat up ladies, eat up. Oh, and if you weren't already sold, this dress has pockets. Just sayin'. 

Look number two... the suspenders maxi skirt. I saw this and was like... "hm, thats different and funky, lets give it a try!" Out of all three pieces, this one is my favorite. The adjustable straps make it an easy fit, (which I was honestly worried about, being a smaller individual, a lot of straps end up being too big and just fall right off). This skirt is so comfortable though, with big pockets and a slit in the back so its easy to maneuver around in. (Getting in and out of the car with a tight skirt on is a real life issue, friends.)

Look number three... Oh boy. This is the piece that I have gotten the most use out of already! It's amazing for cooler days or evenings when you know it's going to be a little chillier out, but you don't necessarily want to just throw on a jacket. I can't wait for summer nights around bonfires or beach trips, because this giant sweatshirt will be absolutely perfect. Going to Cannon Beach numerous times throughout the year is a tradition for my family. During the summer, it gets warmer, but it's nothing like Southern Cali. I'm just looking forward to being able to throw it over my bathing suit while on the beach, leaving the sides unzipped so its almost more like a sweatshirt tunic! That's the best part about this piece. The zippers  help you mix it up, you can make it a little sexier, or keep it simple and cozy. (There's that cute and cozy factor again.)

Like I said, I don't just brag about any company, I really am in love with the products from Tobi, check out their website and I will also share the links to these products. You can just click on the looks below and it will take you right to them!

  • Look 1 - Angela Chambray Shift Dress

Blessed to have been able to work with so many beautiful black women over the years and I wanted to shout some out! ✨⁣

This is Monique. This girl right here is passionate!!! Passionate about life, about food, about standing up for what’s righ Quarantine has me blowing the dust off of some goodies from the archives. 💨 Do we mind if I get honest for a second? No? Cool. Moving has been hard. I miss creating and working with the community I had back in WA. I miss having friends who were down to create on whim and having a consistent outlet to express myself. It&rsquo “The ocean is all I want to be. Beautiful, mysterious, wild and free.” “You used to touch me like you never felt a thing...” “pickin’ wings off of angels has always been my religion...” I get to see this little queen in a week! 💛 can’t wait to see my girls! @itstashhaynes
