It’s been suuuper hot here in Tucson this summer, so I’ve been trying to think of creative ways to beat the heat. Besides visiting as many coffee shops as I can and drinking way too much iced coffee, I’ve been looking for cute styles that will actually keep me cool in the million degree weather. I think my new favorite thing is off-the-shoulder tops, especially this one I found at American Eagle. It’s light and soft which makes it super comfy! Now I have something besides a tank tops to wear to the coffee shop, woohoo!

I’ve been obsessed with the Mercado ever since I first visited. I’ve been coming here a lot lately to either grab coffee with friends or spend time blogging and journaling. It’s just the prettiest spot and I sometimes forget I’m in Tucson while I’m here!

This bag from Old Navy is seriously THE. BEST. I use it to carry my computer and endless notebooks with me to the coffee shop. I love it! The nice thing about it is that it’s such a great deal, but I’m thinking of one day investing in the Madewell leather version!

For a casual day at the Mercado, I paired my off-the-shoulder top with a basic pair of jeans and my favorite gladiator sandals, but it also goes great with shorts or skinny jeans. I’m sure I’ll be wearing it on repeat all summer!

I seriously can’t wait for summer to end and cooler days to begin. But until then, I’ll just keep drinking all the iced coffee I can get my hands on! At least in this outfit I can look cute doing it! 😜

P.S. – I also want to give a shoutout to my brother Jason for taking the pictures for this post. He is a newbie photographer, but as you can tell he’s already amazing! Check out his Instagram to see how cool he is. 😉

P.P.S. – Here’s my spring capsule wardrobe, and an outfit with retro vibes for summer.
