Summer Style at the Beach: Taste Testing

c- We had so much fun making outfits for our photoshoot yesterday.  Michael and I grabbed three of our friends and ventured around our town taking pictures.  It was fun creating different outfits from various color palettes and bringing them all together! Not to mention we had some fabulous models...

Michael is wearing a sweater from Urban Outfitters.
The shorts from american apparel

and his bowtie is vintage brooks brothers.

 

Talk about shoes for the sole. 

These are not only incredibly comfortable, but I found them locally at Julia's boutique in Wilmington. They are the perfect alternative to the typical summer wedge.

Michaels (left) short sleeved button down was purchased at a consignment shop for $4. Josiah (right) is wearing a beautiful light wash denim button down from Top Shop and shoes from Urban Outfitters.

The beautiful Darby is sporting summer shades from Design Archives in Greensboro, NC.

She is also rightfully pulling off the perfect scarf for summer! I love the colors and it's a light fabric that is not too hot for summer.

This scarf can be found at h&m.

 I love the cat eye look as a fresh alternative to Ray Bans or Aviators.
I bought these glasses at Top Shop.
Those shoes almost brought me to tears yesterday! 
One of the best consignment finds I've had...only $15! The forest green color is very trendy right now and the pump is to die for.  I am also digging loose fitting shirts pulled together with a tight skirt. 
 If there is pattern on the shirt, it's best to make the bottom a solid color/texture. 

Sarah was lucky enough to live in Italy this past spring, and she actually found the shorts and tank top at a boutique in France.  The vest is from Pimkie.  This outfit appears effortless but the color palette and textures are aesthetically pleasing. Brown belts are a fantastic way to hold up high-waisted shorts.

Because we're obsessed.
