Summer Essentials Series: What I Can't Live Without

Hola! While I am on my Costa Rican vacation getting eaten by bugs and frolicking with monkeys, I thought it would be fun to do a Summer Series in which I introduce some of my summer essentials, including the one thing I can't live without. Throughout this series I'll provide my five favorites, as well as some other gal pals' summer essentials as well. I hope you enjoy!

Well, it should come as no surprise that the ONE thing I probably cannot live without during the summer are my Sperry Top-Sider Authentic Original 2-Eye Boat Shoes. I practically LIVE in these things in the summer- they are the perfect alternative to flip flops and pair well with everything from skinny denim jeans, colored shorts, and tan-twirl skirts. Pair any of the aforementioned items with a striped boatneck tee and you're pretty much good to go with a great summer staple outfit. PS: Did I mention how comfortable they are?! No blisters, no slipping-off-your-feet-action, and they come in every color under the sun! Below are some ways I have worn my Sperrys in the past:
