10 things: must vs. lust summer check list

trustyourstyle10Things




Have you seen all the inspiring summer wardrobe lists floating around the blog world? I finally got around to checking off a few things on my own summer list + adding others I hope to be wearing very soon. Below is my list--what's on yours?

#1 Splurge Must: Living near the beach these past few years has made me wardrobe lazy. I know it seems counter-intuitive, but I'm planning on visiting some rainy places over the summer, so I finally broke down and added a black trench to the mix.

#2 Staple: Can't help it--I'm a sucker for lipstick pink. Equipment makes my favorite basic shirt in so many fun colors. This is one of my spring pieces I'll be wearing all summer.

#3 Crazy: There's no other way to describe my cat-eye crush on these Tom Ford sunnies.

#4 and #5 Basic: White skinny jeans and a great white tee--still need these!

#6 All in: I'm addicted like candy to my YSL shades lately.

#7 Essential: I've been waiting for the weather to get warm enough to carry this all the time.

#8 Lust: tdf Gucci heels...luckily they're already sold out in my size.

#9 Need: Everyone needs a skull key fob right?

#10 Need more: It's finally dawned on me that I need this one too.


Do you have any lusts vs. musts on your list?

I sometimes have trouble knowing the difference between musts/wants. I am hoping once I get into my new apt and get my stuff delivered the true holes will become clear and I can start to fill them.

I have just spent way too much time drooling over your handbags - that Ritz Cove is so wonderful, just thinking my day through. Always always need more white trousers, heading over now to check these out. (My sister send me a skull necklace from NZ too)

Dear Mary Jo, I would say that all your picks are essentials! Because spring, well summer, has just arrived, I have not thought about what I would like to add to my wardrobe, but I can see I have plenty of inspirations to look at...Thank you!

I adore that bag :))) The colours are so sweet. And I have a thing for white tshirts, I just love to wear them and see them on people, the white is vibrant!! Lately, I have been wanting dresses off of Beyond Retro and some knee high boots :))) And some silver jewelry with turquoise stones in it :)) A bright lipstick sounds nice now that I see this one, ha! I don't want much ;-) Hope you are having a wonderful week petal & I shall put the recipe up as soon as I can, they are so yummy :)) xox

I am obsessed with Tom Ford's cat eye glasses, I just need to find a more affordable version! I think Maxi skirts and summer dresses are a must for me this summer!

Love the blog, just found it today.

I am utterly obsessed with your gorgeous bags! Love them all! I think the white pant portion of my closet is the largest -- I may need an intervention!

I agree the beach atmosphere does instill a more relaxed vibe. I think the trench and shoes may be required to raise my bar. : )

Oooo I`m not even going to check if they have those gorgeous heels in my size because I wouldn`t be able to resist them either! They are timeless and am sure they would still look fab in 20 years, and that would be my excuse for buying them!!!
