We are kicking off the Hot Girl Summer Season with a 30 Day Styling Series (30 days on Instagram and Tik Tok, 4 weeks on my blog).
Each day for 30 Days I’ll share a Summer Outfit Styling Video on both TikTok and Instagram reels and each Sunday I will post a round up of the looks from that week here on juliamarieb.com
The styling videos on my social channels show a closer look of each outfit, movement of fabrics, etc while they’ll be more detailed information like fabric, fit and inventory levels here.
In the Fall I did this series just on Instagram and TikTok and you all loved it so much so we’re bringing it to my site as well so the content lives forever and is easier to find.
There is a Spring Styling Series from 2021 you can check out for more inspo for this season. Check those posts out HERE
This week I’m sharing looks 1-10 of the 30 Summer Outfits!

DRESS
So far, this is my favorite dress of the series and that includes everything you haven’t seen yet. Hands down, favorite! It is short but has you wear it and the fabric hangs it also stretches out a bit giving you more length.
There’s 3-5 colors available but I’m really into green, citron & chartreuse this season.
I’m 5’4″ and this is my TTS.
SANDALS
These are the Valentino Rockstuds so they are a bit of a splurge. I’ve wanted these for yearsss, I’m talking 5+ years so when I had a record breaking month in business this past April I went ahead and threw them in the bag.
They do run TTS.
CLUTCH
This Bottega Inspired clutch is from Amazon! There are a few different color options. Also, it does come with a shoulder strap for functionality if you need it.

INITIAL STUD EARRINGS
The newest arrival in my shop are these SOLID 14KT GOLD Initial Stud earrings. You can get one or two initials I kept it cute and got two ‘J’s. I put these in a few weeks ago and haven’t taken them out since.
CHUNKY HOOPS
My current favorite and most worn earrings in my first hole. I have to clarify since I have 7 ear piercings lol. These are the Drew Huggies from Miranda Frye, I can not link them via LTKit. They were sold out last time I checked but I feel in my heart they will restock.
These hoops are surprisingly super light weight and very easy to clasp/close.
HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

DRESS
A fun affordable Target find! They released this dress in 6 colors online but this orange and a stripe were the only two in store when I purchased.
Dress runs TTS
HANDBAG
I really wanted a hot pink handbag for Summer and I got rid of all my old ones. I couldn’t find one new that I liked under $1800 so I went to FashionPhile and scored this MCM bag. It is one of one but I linked it so you can check out the style info if you’d like.

STATEMENT NAME RING
One of my favorite pieces from my shop, I wear this ALL THE TIME! I got mine last summer and have been wearing it weekly since.
It’s 18kt gold over sterling silver so it doesn’t change colors and will wear well even when exposed to water … don’t push it though if you want it to maintain it’s original luster for years to come.

PANT SET
A summer vacation set, for sure! It’s a breathable Summer woven that can be worn as a set or seperatly. The top would be cute as a swim cover-up or over denim shorts. Or wear the pants with a basic crop top.
Set runs TTS
SPARKLE SANDALS
Y’all know I love my sparkle sandals, who doesn’t love a sparkle?? These runs TTS and for looks more than function.

CARRIE NAME HOOPS
One of my favorite hoops to wear in the Summer! I’ve had mine 3-4 years and still wear them. They are 18kt gold over sterling silver so they will last you for years. No turning colors!
INITIAL STUD EARRINGS
The newest arrival in my shop are these SOLID 14KT GOLD Initial Stud earrings. You can get one or two initials I kept it cute and got two ‘J’s. I put these in a few weeks ago and haven’t taken them out since.

TOP
I believe this blue has sold out in this top but there’s a tan/nude available. Great soft material, double lined and just enough touch of trend!
Runs TTS
JEANS
I love a loosey goosey oversized destroyed jean for Summer so these were a must have for me.
I did size up one because I wanted extra room, turns out they are fitted on my butt and thighs but were too big in the waist. I had the waist taken in about 2″ and am looking forward to breaking these in and them getting a little bigger as I drop my quarantine 15.
LOOK 5
SCRIPT NAME NECKLACE
The #1 Best Seller from my shop is the Script Name Necklace. I wear mine on a 16″ chain but they now come with 2″ extenders to give you wiggle room and variety.
The Script Name Necklace is 18kt gold over sterling silver so NO turning! I’ve had mine around 3 years.

TANK
I love a halter tank, this one is a little longer than I prefer … I like a crop. But the quality is great. I’m wearing my TTS.
JEANS
My favorite jeans, I have 4 pairs in different washes. Runs TTS.
SANDALS
I wanted a fun pop of pink sandal for Summer and this clear heel reminded me of a green pair of strappy Calvin Klein wedges I had in college so I had to have these.

DRESS
My actual dress is from Zara. Ref# 4786/069
Unfortunately, I can’t link Zara. Dress runs TTS
SANDALS
My Spring splurge! I say they run TTS!

CHUNKY NAME NECKLACE
One of my favorite pieces from my shop, the Chunky Name Necklace. I love love love this piece. It’s 18kt gold over sterling silver so it won’t turn.
I never recommend wearing any jewelry in water as it will ALWAYS dull the luster of the metal even fine solid gold pieces but it can withstand water … but I don’t recommend it!

TANK
LOVE this tank! I have it in both tan and white. It’s cropped so it hits right at the top of your pants waistband. It has a really nice smoothing effect too.
Runs TTS
TROUSERS
My exact trousers are sold out, I linked them just in case they’re the pair from Abercrombie. Also, similar pairs are linked too!
HANDBAG
I got this as a Summer travel bag (lol) in January … with no travel plans at the time. I also use this to carry my laptop to coffee shops when I need to get out of the house to get work done. I love that there’s both a top handle and a crossbody/shoulder strap.

CARRIE NAME HOOPS

ROMPER
This is VERY comfortable, I love that you can wear a regular bra … I love a regular bra moment! My only con is there is too much fabric in the waist specifically at the small of the back. I did size up per recommendation but think my TTS would have been better for the waistline.
SNEAKERS
Story time (ish), In college I worked at a sneaker store. Footaction … First, Fast, Best, Footaction USA! lol
I never got into actually buying the sneaker head sneakers but I LOVED looking at all the hot classics. My favorite sneaker was the Air Max 90’s and it took me 20, yes 20, YEARS to actually buy a pair.
I got the tan colorway in the Winter and they are hands down my most comfortable sneaker. Then I bought these for Summer thinking I’d wear them to the gym but they’re too dope for that.
Long story short, HIGHLY recommend Air Max 90’s!

LINEN TOP
A linen button up is such a classic Summer Staple. It can be worn so many ways. Using it as a swim cover up is super popular.
Runs TTS
DENIM SHORTS
I’ve had these shorts for months (SORRY) literal months (they were gifted) and I loved them immediately but didn’t share them because they’re a little too snug (aka muffin top) and I wanted to wait until they fit better to share as I planned on wearing them with a bodysuit.
SN but related: I’m having a very hard time with sizing rn when it comes to denim. I did gain 15 quarantine pounds and I am now disciplined and getting it off. BUT I never stopped working out or going to the gym, I get a solid Full Body workout in 3-4 days a week. With that being said, my body (butt specifically) is changing and NOTHING no matter the size goes over it with ease. The circumference of my butt/hips is normal for where I’m at. I guess the shape is changing. IDK, is my point. I’m very confused and don’t know how to fit my bottom half rn so bear with me as I figure out my changing body cause I just don’t know right now. My TTS is too tight in jeans but a size up is too big.
Back to the point, these shorts are sold out. I said I’m sorry!!! I’d say these run TTS but would still recommend sizing up!
*** I did link a just released pair in the same wash ***
SANDALS
Another almost sold out item, there is a very similar pair that I like just as much if not more that I linked. Sandal is very comfortable, easy to walk in and runs TTS
SUNGLASSES
My exact sunglasses were purchased in store two days ago. I can not find them online but did link the most similar.
Same store and price, $25 at Free People!

SANDALS
My first sandals I splurged on and they were 100% worth every penny! This is my 3rd Summer with these in rotation and they were my most worn sandals the past two Summers. My Valentino’s have been taking some of their shine this year but that’s what happens when we get something. G
Go up a half a size.
