The summer time heat is here and coming at us fast! Suffering from finding the appropriate clothing to bare the heat can be an endless battle. I am here to share you with the tips and tricks that help me!

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go thrifting for old high-waisted jeans to cut into shorts. Unfortunately for the past few summers, I have not been all that successful with finding the right size or right style while thrift shopping for shorts. I then began to resort to browsing different stores in my local mall. Once again, I was not successful in my shopping for shorts because every pair I came across were $40+ and also way too short for my liking, which was very frustrating.

I found a new solution which became a new necessity – maxi skirts! Being that I don’t like to show too much skin and love to be comfortable (as you already know), I became obsessed with maxi skirts. No more hot, sweaty legs sticking to the leather seats in my car, less money spent, and a little more spice added to the summer wardrobe! This checkered maxi skirt was only $10 at Gabriel Brothers! You can pair this skirt with any colored top. I chose an army green tube top that was only $5 from Forever21.
