10 Fashion Essentials You Need In Your Closet For Summer

scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com

*Sigh* Summer. School is out, the sun is shining, and fashion trends are peaking. Summer is known to be one of the most fun and vibrant seasons when it comes to fashion and it's clear why. Summer fashion is all about prints, being comfortable and simple. But Let's be real, staying on trend over summer can seem like an expensive or difficult goal, but really all you need are about 10 pieces and essentials that can turn any outfit into an instant summer classic.

1. Floral Prints? Yes please!

The first is a staple that can be seen year round but stands on its own during the summer months. Femme Fabulous and vibrant and simple floral prints on flowy shorts, shirts, scarves, dresses or even simple detailing on pants give instant endless summer vibes.

2. Nautical Stripes

Ahoy There! Nautical stripes are so far my personal favorite trend of the summer. Any piece or accessory that contains these "naughty" (LOL I really tried) stripes (especially in a muted navy blue) has the ability to transform your summer fit from sad and sandy to yacht party in the Hamptons.

3. Vibrant rompers

Rompers have obviously been around for a while now, but never have they been such a strong statement in full force. Although annoying when you need to use the bathroom, rompers give a confident look, especially for complimenting the curvier girls out there.

4. A good retro one piece

If there's one thing that's true about fashion it's that a lot of styles end up repeating themselves in the same way history tends to. And this summer is all about retro styles, everything from polka dots, gingham, 80s style one pieces and 50s/60s inspired pieces as well. Get a good retro one-piece and you are sure to be turning heads on the beach this summer

5. Classic slip-ons

A good pair of classic slip-ons can be anything from simple white Vans or Adidas, to a pair of classic sandals that can go with any outfit.

6. A fun jumpsuit

Just like rompers, jumpsuits are making a huge comeback and don't look like they'll be going anywhere soon. So break out your best airy jumpsuits and rock the laid back yet put together summer look!

7. Statement earrings! Lets turn some heads, people!

Statement earrings are one of the best staples to have in your wardrobe this summer. From tassels to hoops and dangly earrings, these small statement pieces have the ability to dress up the most casual outfit and bring all the attention to both your beautiful face and killer outfit!

8. Classic white tee

This is kind of an obvious one, but everyone loves a plain white tee. It's a classic basic that has the potential to create multiple fresh and stunning summer looks.

9. Everyone needs some good blue denim

You can never go wrong with throwing a solid blue denim into your summer look, I for one, know that any summer outfit can be completed with anything from a denim jacket or a cool blue jean.

10. Anything with a classic summer yellow

Yellow is in this summer and it's all things funky and fun. This iconic happy and breezy color will keep you glowing as bright as the sun. But let's be real, who wouldn't want to walk around putting smiles on peoples faces with a precious pop of yellow?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
