Weekend Wardrobe: All About the Tote

"Weekend" sweatshirt: ILY couture   |    Polka-dot skater skirt: Forever21 (old)    |    Straw panama hat: Target (now on SALE!)   |      Sneakers: Converse via TJMaxx    |    Sunglasses:  Urban Outfitters (old)    |    Stately Made Kentucky Food Map Tote:  Miss Molly Vintage

I don't know what screams "weekend" more than this outfit.  Besides the fact that my super comfy sweatshirt just flat out spells it out, all the other elements are weekend essentials too.  Let's start with the accessories: if you don't own a pair of classic Converse sneakers yet (I'd recommend a neutral color),  they are the perfect way to add a casual twist to any outfit and get that laid-back summer look (plus they are super comfortable!)  Target has been my go-to the past couple summers for cheap, cute summer hats like this straw Panama hat.  Don't forget to also shop the men's section for hats at Target too!  Heart sunglasses remind me of my childhood and just add a fun and unexpected touch to any outfit.  Let's not forget this brand new Kentucky food map tote that is PERFECT for all your summer weekend activities in the bluegrass: from farmer's market trips, to picnics, to the pool!
