Summer is here, and our spring cleaning has us looking at empty hangers that are ready to be filled. When creating your summer wardrobe, be sure to shop small and local first by browsing these great summer options from local boutiques. Don’t worry, the creators in Des Moines will never let you down when it comes to staying on top of trendy, sustainable, and unique fashion.
Shirt Dress from GOOD BURT
Ever since GOOD BURT dropped this shirt we have been obsessed. If you see us wearing this dress at the farmers market every weekend, try not to judge us. Wear it as a dress, or open with a tank top and shorts for any summer look you need to create. The combination of pink and orange is just what we needed to escape the winter funk and head into brighter days.
Sweater Tank from Preservation
Add a vibrant pop of color to your summer wardrobe when you take this darling sweater tank from Preservation back home. As always, we love everything that Preservation does and stands for, so we were more than excited to see what they whipped up for summer. We picture this sweater tank joining you at your next outdoor picnic or grabbing a patio drink with your friends to start your weekend.
Graphic Tee
Our summer fashion guide wouldn’t be complete without an adorable tee to pick up for your “little”, niece/nephrew, or mini friend this summer. We love the trendy checkered print touch and the holy vibes of hitting the waves on a summer day.
Delivering Sunshine Dress from Pop + Nod
This dress from Pop and Nod offers a great blend of vibrant hues and neutral tones that pairs well in any closet. We love that this dress stays on trend with the color block design, and take a peek at the lace up back that is perfect for styling and breathability. Pair this dress with your favorite chunky sneakers for a casual look, or grab a blazer and some nude heels for a sophisticated style that will rock the town.
Sunglasses from Aimee
Top off your summer look by adding a pair of adorable sunnies from Aimee to your wardrobe. Not only will these sunglasses protect your eyes, but they add drama and dimension to your look while helping you spot out the other fashionistas around you. Aimee has a wide collection of sunglasses that fit any style, so pop in quick before they’re gone.
Women’s Vintage Rib Midi Dress
MARNe has some of the best summer essentials with fabrics that truly breathe. We love this midi dress that you can dress up, dress down, or lounge in. Stop into this cute shop in the East Village or order ahead online!
Tote Bags
Summer is a time of being on the go, and whether you’re running errands or catching flights, you need a stylish bag to carry all of your belongings. Afterglow Pro Studio just launched their new merchandise and it’s safe to say we will need this bag before summer starts.
Whether you’re heading to the grocery store, the famous DSM Airport or going on a walk around Gray’s Lake this bag can carry everything you need effortlessly.
Sunscreen from Eden
Sun care is the most important accessory you can wear in the summertime. We’re obsessed with Supergoop!’s line of sun care products at Eden.
