When I'm not at work, fun, comfortable sandals are essential to my look.&nbsp; During the summer, it's coral and orange shades on my lips, fingernails, and toenails.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041131 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 13:23:07 +0000 Bijou 2041131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I focus on bags, sunglasses and shoes to add interest to summer clothes. I also play with colour combinations, so if I am wearing a blue blouse with blue jeans, I would wear lilac bag, belt To lift the basic outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041109 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 12:31:52 +0000 LaPed 2041109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>elpgal</b>, I use a nail/cuticle oil to help strengthen the nails and prevent cracking. I mix 1:1 almond and jojoba oil, then add a couple drops of tea tree and rosemary essential oils. I keep it in a little eyedropper bottle and apply with a q-tip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041105 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 12:14:08 +0000 Helena 2041105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A smart hat, a pedi, and I tend to wear a few brighter colours in summer.

A pile of pearls. A piece of your outfit that is like a scarf, patterned and pretty or elegant adds instant interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041062 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 02:31:59 +0000 Jaime 2041062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wearing my glass beads to cover up a bit of skin.

So dress, sandals, sunglasses and clear polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041042 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 22:58:38 +0000 LaPed 2041042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely minimize all my routines and styling in the summer, so I'll be of no help! I have a couple of summer-only hats that are fun to pull out. No scarves, even lightweight ones, much past Memorial Day. Too much fuss and fabric for me. I prefer short necklaces that fill the space of a slight v or scoop neck (or shirt collar). No pearls for me, just pendants. I have enough visible tattoos in the summer (arms, legs, feet) that adding anything else feels like overkill. Kiddo has been on my case to paint my toenails, lol. Haven't done it yet this year because I've been on a foot cream and nail oil kick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2041034 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 22:34:05 +0000 Anonymous 2041034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I add a kimono or a sheer knit poncho-ish thing I discovered and can't stop wearing : &nbsp;a pedicure is mandatory, as are statement sunglasses and lipstick. &nbsp;I do not , however, wear all of these things at once &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm often curious why I don't see kimonos here on the forum - sidenote - as although they aren't necessarily a trend piece, they are really a classic for summer, and SO flattering and easy to wear. &nbsp;They add that 3rd piece that is so hard to do well &nbsp;in the heat. &nbsp;I have them in a couple of different lengths , and use them for everything from a swimsuit coverup to the third piece with jeans/shorts/joggers and a t. &nbsp;Some are lined with a belt, others are sheerer silk and without a tie belt. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040995 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 21:11:33 +0000 Bennett 2040995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Besides cuffing, belts, or jewelry - hmmm........ I would say a summery toenail color, sandals in a statement color or your favorite metallic, a woven straw hat and/or tote, great sunglasses.....&nbsp;</p> <p>I do have one 'summer only' bangle bracelet. It is silver and very thin and larger in diameter than usual. I believe I had it made by an etsy shop. I wear it just below my elbow (not above) where it stays stuck and wear a couple of my usual silver wrist bracelets on the same arm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040994 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 21:07:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2040994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one reason I want a kimono, like the short cocoon ones at Anthropologie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040991 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 20:47:09 +0000 Irina 2040991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Accessories, bags and shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040990 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 20:34:24 +0000 Sal 2040990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love summer dressing. </p> <p>Earrings.<br /> Bracelets<br /> Hats<br /> sunglasses<br /> Toe nail polish</p> <p>Pattern is fun too and practical I find. </p> <p>I avoid tops or dresses that need a cami underneath, or pants needing a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040976 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 20:02:38 +0000 Carla 2040976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rolling sleeves of button downs up above elbows.<br /> Scarves as headbands.<br /> Sun hats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040975 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 20:02:03 +0000 SarahD8 2040975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of pattern and color for me.

Sunnies. Lots of pattern and texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040939 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 18:05:34 +0000 Ginger 2040939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Style Fan - my hair. I usually put my hair up in summer, but there's a lot of variation in how I do it. And I add hair flowers or a bow, depending on the style and how I feel. When I wear it down, I still have it styled, perhaps with a pair of barrettes or a flower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040927 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 17:19:48 +0000 Angie 2040927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, <b>Taylor</b><b></b>.

I rely on interesting or trendy footwear (metallics are my friend!) and bags, jewelry, and sometimes a hat. My sunglasses are also a big part of this equation. One could also say that the blue streaks in my hair are especially integral to my summer style, even though they are there year-round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040912 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 16:17:15 +0000 taylor 2040912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Angie!<br /> Also a Signature scent </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040907 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 16:07:20 +0000 Angie 2040907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHITE PEARLS :)</p> <p>Fun bags, and interesting hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040904 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 15:38:21 +0000 Style Fan 2040904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair accessories are big right now.&nbsp; I use large barrettes to put my hair in a half up do, a scarf to tie in a pony tail and decorative bobby pins.&nbsp; I also make sure that my hands and feet are well groomed.&nbsp; I am not wearing polish on my nails these days but there is that option.&nbsp; I sometimes add a ring to my right hand.&nbsp; I always wear my wedding ring.&nbsp; I keep my make up natural but it does add polish as Angie says. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-styling-hacks#post-2040903 Mon, 08 Jul 2019 15:36:35 +0000 Anonymous 2040903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another is a very lightweight topper or even a sleeveless vest over something sleeveless.
