This summer I have been travelling and most of my fashion items are black!! By now if you have followed me for a little while you might have noticed that I love to wear white and black. You might think that black is such a heavy color for summer but it also depends on the fabrics and styles. I mostly get items in cotton, linen, rayon and even some synthetic fabrics that are lite. Last year I did one of my first post on summer favorites sharing my top black fashion items that I loved. This year I can not miss the opportunity to share this years finds that I totally have or want!!
Summer favorites: Wear Black in Summer 2018
Tops
We visited “La Finca de Girasoles”, isn’t it pretty? I fell in love with the sunflowers and the mountains behind us! I wore this tiered black top. It is flowy and the lite fabric kept me from melting…. it was extremely hot . Here I wore it with denim shorts but you can also wear it with long jeans, culotte pants or loose cotton pants.

Loving these styles 🙂
Pants/ Shorts
While being on a tropical island and picking some caribbean cherries “acerola” this shorts were a breeze to bring with me. They have elastic at the waist but also have a drawstring to adjust your fit. And the pom poms are just the cutest detail that makes them fun and summery! I have it on xs and it is a loose fit. I dressed them down with this top in gray and my summer favorite sandals!
