Simply Six… things for a picnic!

Happy National Picnic Day!  The weather here has me dreaming of sunny days in the park and I can not wait to take my favorite fancy picnic cooler for a day out!  Our basket isn’t too girly so the husband doesn’t mind carrying it around and is an easy go-to for road trips as well (a few hotel breakfasts have been eaten on those plates).

So grab this picnic basket and a few of the other picnic must-haves I have been lusting lately below.  And a picnic would not be complete without a delicious food, so check out this caprese sandwich with pesto from Jessica in the Kitchen… yum!!

Simply Six… Striped Styles Under $100

I am currently loving stripes!  The clean, nautical look is perfect for the spring and summer.  I rounded up some great spring striped pieces, all under $100!

simply six.. striped styles under 100

the romper is so high on my wish list I am starting to just plan vacations around it!!  I mean add a wide brim hat and white tennis shoes… heaven!

a simple maxi dress would be perfect for going from church to the beach for brunch on a Sunday Funday

this top already has a place in my closet and works great with khakis for a day in the office

high waist shorts are on my ‘trends to try’ list and I think they would look so cute with a button-up chambray top tied at the waist and paired with white tennis shoes!

a beach cover-up is a summer must and the long sleeves and a hood are what I needed for a windy day at the beach or sound.

an easy striped skirt would be great to throw in a carry on bag for a weekend get-a-way for a dressed up casual look.
