For many women, summer means that dreaded time of the year when our thigh sweat sticks to seats pretty much everywhere we go. Shorts have their time and their place- if you're going to the pool or out to a very casual bar. Here are some outfit ideas for when you want to look cute over the summer but are tired of wearing shorts.

1. Jumpsuits.

Buy a solid colored jumpsuit in a comfortable fabric. You can make this casual by wearing it with sandals and a t-shirt under it or you can dress it up by wearing short heels and jewelry.

2. The light-weight pant.

I do not mean khakis or gauchos. These could be white linen pants (if you're brave enough to wear them) or fitted black cotton pants that look great with a t-shirt tucked into them.

3. The maxi-dress.

Yes, this is always trending during the summer but think about how when you were younger, you only wanted short dresses. Now is the time to start your collection of long sundresses you can through on over a swimsuit or wear on a cute date.

4. The jeans + heel combo.

But make it summer. I always am inclined to compliment someone who is wearing a t-shirt and jeans with stilettos. If you want to really hop on the summer 2019 trends, buy neon colored heels and accessories. I recommend neon green.

5. The silk skirt.

This is a fancier option but right now it must be acknowledged. You can find them everywhere from Forever 21 to Topshop right now because this trend is on fire. These often fall at about mid-calf and can be styled with tank tops and sandals to detail a clean and classy summer look.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
