My favorite go to summer looks 🕶👗

So, here we go - my favorite go to summer looks!  1) Denim / Leggings with a sleeveless top : I personally hate wearing denims during the summers because I get too sweaty and sticky from wearing them. I always opt for leggings which are perfect to wear during summers if you don't want to wear anything short!
