Summer Style Recap

Fashion blogger Jessica Sturdy of Bows & Sequins shares her summer OOTDs.

It seems like everywhere I look there are signs of fall… Pumpkin coffees, Halloween decor, leather clothing, shades of black and brown, and layers of denim. Don’t get me wrong, I love women’s fall fashion, but it’s currently 100+ degrees here in Chicago. Not to mention, the calendar still says summer for almost another MONTH! Seriously, there are 26 more days until Autumn. So let’s just hit pause for a second, okay?

If you’re in need of some late summer style OOTD inspo, you’re in the right place. Search no further, I’ve got you covered — literally. In this post, I’m sharing almost every single outfit I’ve worn this summer! Like, all 67 of them. (Yes, I’m totally an outfit re-wearer. And yes, there are some days I never get out of workout clothes, so I left those days out.)

I hope this helps gives you some ideas for shopping your own closet over the next few weeks while we’re still holding onto summer, albeit mentally preparing for fall.
