Watermelon Weather

watermelon skirt

It really feels like summertime now, which means I've got beach days and backyard barbecues on the brain a lot of the time. One of my favorite things about summer is that all of my favorite fruits will soon be in season. Although peaches will always top the list for me, there is something wonderful about perfectly-ripe watermelon in the summertime. And since I can never say no to a thematic outfit, I have a feeling I'll be wearing this scrumptious skirt from Unique Vintage quite a bit over the next couple of months!

I'll admit that I wasn't initially sold on this skirt, though I'm not exactly sure why. I'm really glad I took a chance on it though, because it's a really adorable option for more casual get-togethers. (I realize that my definition of casual might differ from that of others', but I'd so much rather wear a breezy and fun skirt than constrictive jeans!) Since I'm having a bit of a "moment" with off-the-shoulder silhouettes, I decided to pair it with this adorable basic black tee from UV – which is super soft and just a tiny bit sexy. I added a subtle popsicle necklace, my trusty boater hat and my favorite black flats to make a look that's perfectly put-together and yet appropriate for pretty much any summer event.

  3. Such a cute skirt, I eat a lot of watermelon during summer so it really is perfect and I can really associate it with all things summer haha. It looks so good with a simple black top like this too. Gorgeous x

  4. I love this skirt on you! And I love how you've styled it, you are so beautiful.
    I'm not the biggest fan of watermelons, I love strawberries in the summer, but there is something very "summery" with fruit in general, especially watermelons.
    Hope you are having a lovely week!
    Much love,
    Mona
