Beat-the-Heat Chic

The summer solstice may not be for another twenty-one days, but we've officially hit the first month of the season and - at least, out here in Omaha - Mother Nature knows it. We've already had a few 90°F days and the next week sees us with a few more still to come. It's no secret that I’m not a summer girl, and usually my summer wardrobe will consist of the very basic and not-so-glam jeans and tank top combos, but with some awesome trends and killer deals I think it's going to be a much more stylish summer for Casee Marie! I'm a big fan of JC Penney and their wonderful markdowns so I decided to make this post work double-duty, showing off some of the great summer pieces I'm coveting and the fabulosity of JCP in one fell swoop. Check it out!


a.n.a. Ruffle Top/Hem Printed Tube Dress; $27.99 (reg. $40)
I love the bold colors in this dress and the ruffles allow for a loose fit, pleasantly airy.



Jones Wear Dropwaist Eyelet Sundress with Pockets; $47.99 (reg. $90)
American Living French Eyelet Sundress; $59.99 (reg. $100)
Eyelets, obviously, are the perfect element for summer.



Beaded V-Neck Sleeveless Dress; $19.99 (reg. $70)
Bold printed dresses add instant style without being heavy.



a.n.a. Belted Chino Short; $19.99 (reg. $32.00)
I’m not a shorts girl, but if I was I’d love these little belted chinos.



MNG by Mango Kylie Sheer Tank; $24.95 (reg. $49.90)
Another huge trend for spring that definitely works in the heat: sheers!


MNG by Mango Turq Stone Silver Ring; $9.95 (reg. $19.90)
Decree Multi-Round Earrings; $7.99 (reg. $12.00)
Mixit Medallion Curve Stretch Ring; $11.99 (reg. $18.00)
Decree Multi Bright Bangle Bracelets; $11.99 (reg. $18.00)

And you can never go wrong with bold, colorful accessories. Especially at these prices!

How do you flaunt your style while beating the heat?
