Summer is a time to embrace fashion for festivals, bonfires, road-trips, pool parties, beach days, and more. Forget wearing pajamas to 8am's and large t-shirts to study sessions, you finally have time to style yourself (if you want to). So if you're ready to update your wardrobe, I am here to help without putting you in debt.
Graphic Crop Tops
These are super simple but easy to dress up with a kimono or leather jacket. The high neck is flattering on most body tops (yay for confidence) and makes it less obvious you're wearing a crop top (not that it should matter). If you would rather do a muscle tee, just cut up an old t-shirt! You should get 10% off when signing up for Forever 21 emails.

High Wasted Shorts
High wasted shorts are great to pair with crop tops and can be super comfy if you find the right fit. The pair below come in 7 colors...I may or may not own 3 of them. Their not true "denim" material since they have cotton and spandex which is great for hot weather. Also look great with a belt and thrifted tee for a retro look.
Shorts High Waist $9.99 to $17.99 - H&M
Sports Bra
Okay screw Calvin Klein...not really but like I can't spend $30 on a piece of cloth (TG Maxx does have them cheaper). You can find similar cotton sports bra's all over, the below ones are actually from Topshop *swoons*. Bonus points: they come in several colors and special sizes for petite and tall. They are way comfier than underwire bras and can be used to layer or workout it or honesty as a shirt just do you. Also, Topshop has free shipping and returns!
Ribbed Elastic Bralet $10.00 - Topshop
Swimwear
Pro tip when shopping for swimwear: do not be afraid to mix and match! It saves money and let's you use what is already in your wardrobe. Going for solid colors makes this even easier. Also, if you sign up for Pacsun's reward program you get $5 off! (please unbold this text)

Mini-Backpack
Purses can get really annoying when you're on the go so mini-backpacks are perfect because they don't sacrifice cuteness. I own the one below and it fits a water bottle, important because you need to stay hydrated!
Holographic Mini Backpack $19.90 - Forever 21
Kimonos
Literally the easier way to dress up an outfit without adding layers that will make you hot. You can sign up for Charlotte Russe's emails to save 20%.
