Written by Christi Given | June 5, 2012
PI girls, here are some of the hottest (and modest!) summer trends and looks! Now that we are entering summer, it’s fun to get some ideas for your fashionable side. Let’s get started!
Here are your summer fashion Do’s:
1. DO: Bright colors–neon and pastels are in style!

Make sure to balance brights with other solid colors. White is always a good way to prevent too many color clashes. Also, MINT is the color of spring and summer–think mint ice cream!
2. DO: Pearls

Loved it!!:) I also liked the Don’ts Part 2…some of the pictures were funny to see that people/celebs actually go out in public like that!!! (short shorts, and low cut tops, and coverups) Be modest, remember you are representing your Creator!!:)

LOVE the modest fashions!!! 🙂 makes me feel so much better about worrying about modesty ♥
Posted by Emy12346 on June 11, 2012 at 17:52
I love this, I’m totally in to the style of long shorts, pearls, sunglasses, stripes, and one piece swimsuit. (I learned being covered up by a one piece is totally fine!)
Posted by Hisgirl on June 11, 2012 at 11:23

While I was reading this my hair was already braided like those pictures haha and I was going to wear bright colors and prints tonight anyways! Guess i’m in style and didn’t even know it 😉
Posted by pigirlpg15 on July 17, 2012 at 04:24
Haha. I know exactly what you mean. I do the exact same thing. 😉 I always look at what’s in style just for fun and find out I already do that in some way.

Cute! I love pearls and braids

Where can I find a vintage/Marilyn Monroe swimsuit? I’ve been looking everywhere but the only one’s I’ve found (online) are so expensive!

This jade who posted before me is not me. repeat, not me.

I got a vintage (style, it’s not actually vintage) one piece @ forever21 for $20.

I think that the shorts on the model of the “longer” shorts are too short. They are not long at all. My shortest shorts go to my knee. That’s the way that they will always be and stay.
Other than that, I will use those! They’re very cute 🙂
I hope that you will keep posting these fashion tips because I’m fashion challenged… 😛
Thank you!

I agree tht the models shorts are too short!!!
Posted by Creative Twist on June 5, 2012 at 14:25
I will simply have to try the hair styles and make my own flower headbands. :^)
Posted by olburrows on June 5, 2012 at 12:58
These are awesome! Thanks!
XOXO

I’m totally for the wild nails! I’ve had an odd obsession with nail polish lately anyway, so that’ll be fun!
Posted by Paris on June 5, 2012 at 12:42
I will definitely do the pearls.
Posted by JesusFreakySongbird on June 5, 2012 at 12:32
I <3 flowers and ribbons. Maybe not all the way around my head in a headband but a good sized one on a cilp for my ponytail is fun 🙂
Posted by Rae on June 5, 2012 at 12:32
I don’t really care what’s in style most of the time. I just go with what I think is classy and cute. But some of this is really adorable. The black and white stripey outfit is BEAUTIFUL! And my swimsuit is just like that one except it’s solid blue. Awesome stuff!

Coral and mint are the two biggest colors this season. and theyre both colors that come in many different shades and look great on anyone or any skin tone
