You can't have summer without pretty dresses, right? This one from Ree's collection is perfect for the season with a flowing tiered skirt, smocked waist, and flutters sleeves—complete with that lovely toile floral print.

This fun top is so reminiscent of all that warm summer sun that's sure to fill your days. It features a floral textured chiffon fabric (with a lining underneath to prevent sheerness), short bell sleeves, and a ruffled neckline.

If you ask us, linen pants are a summer staple. They're lightweight, breezy, and so easy to style. With an elastic high-waist and relaxed wide-leg design that falls just below the ankle, you'll love how this pair fits, too.

We can't get over all of the gorgeous details that make this summery shirt so worth its price tag: a pretty color-blocked floral pattern, an intricately woven neckline with a slight collar, and darling ruffled sleeves. It even comes in standard, petite, and plus sizes.

Ree wore this beachy number while on a trip to Mexico. She said, "I enjoyed busting out the tropical prints for my wardrobe choices." Which is totally a thing you should do all summer! While you can't grab her exact dress, there are plenty of similar options.

SHOP TROPICAL PRINT DRESSES

On those hot days when you just can't decide what to wear, make it easy by pulling on a romper! All you have to do is add shoes and accessories—then your outfit is complete! This breezy pick with a flattering tie waist, flutter sleeves, and a tassel accent at the neck is a lovely choice.

We're already imagining all the ways you can wear this blouse from The Pioneer Woman's collection—including for all of the upcoming patriotic holidays. You'll look so cute thanks to the flattering drape and subtle side-slits plus details like a ruffled self-tie neckline.

Throw it over your t-shirts or use it as a swimsuit cover-up, either way, this light and airy chiffon will keep you looking chic and feeling cool during even the warmest days. It comes in nearly fifty (!) colors and patterns to choose from.

Here's another summer go-to that we have Ree to thank for! Slip on these gorgeous sandals to add a touch of charm to whatever you wear them with. The colorful print and pom-pom trim make them just delightful. You'll also enjoy the comfortably padded footbed.

If you thought the perfect pair of pants didn't exist... think again! Not only will you look so fabulous when stepping out in these, but you'll feel just as comfortable. They have a partially-elasticized high-rise waistband and a relaxed, wide-leg fit with pockets. And we can't forget about that peppy peach pattern!

Paige Drummond looks just beautiful in this beach sunset shot! And we can't help but want to copy her style of a comfy yet cute t-shirt dress topped off with a cozy cardigan.

SHOP T-SHIRT DRESSES

Crocheted styles are so trendy right now. A nod to the '60s and '70s, this colorfully striped sweater shirt is lightweight enough to be paired with a base shirt or tank top for the warmer months. You could even throw it atop a swimsuit. Talk about snazzy!

Walks on the beach or nights out on the town are all possible when you're wearing this pretty pick. Designed with an ultra high-rise elastic waist then finished with delicate eyelet details, you'll want to snag it immediately. Did we mention it even has pockets?

If there's one thing we're absolutely sure of, it's that denim shorts are an essential for the warmer months! These Bermuda shorts will go with everything and offer all the stylish coverage you need with a fit that holds you in at the hips and waist while feeling easy everywhere else.

This blouse is one of Ree's favorites from her Walmart collection! Here's why: It's a relaxed silhouette with a super flattering smocked off-the-shoulder style that's met with elasticized ruffle cuffs for an extra bit of flair. Not to mention, that pretty pink coloration!

The vibrant and bright blooming patterns on this dress are enough to seal the deal, but add in that flared and flowy skirt, button-down detailing, flutter sleeves—plus the fact that it's all made in a soft, stretchy, and figure-flattering fabric... we're sold!

Of course, we're going to take some inspo from Alex! She spends her summer afternoons wearing an oh-so-timeless pinstripe shirt that everyone needs in their closet. Thanks to the button-down design, there are so many ways to wear it for all the nautical summer vibes.

SHOP PINSTRIPE SHIRTS

This easy and breezy white staple piece will become your seasonal go-to. Just look at the billowy crinkle-textured cotton! It also has elasticized sleeves and an elasticized open neck with button detailing. So, whether you're headed to the beach or a nice dinner, you can style it to match the event of the day.

Thanks to a lightweight chiffon fabric and that playful tie detail, this versatile top can be worn throughout the season with anything from jean shorts to nice pants. Choose from fifteen colors and patterns then dress it up or down depending on the occasion.

In short, you've got to add this pick to your closet. Get it? But seriously, with a flattering bow tie high-waist and a relaxed fit, these shorts are just what you need to go with your breezy blouses.
