Whether you are taking one last vacation before summer’s end or just bumming around town, these destination-inspired outfits will give you fresh ideas for the dwindling days of summer.

Beach/Clinton Lake:

Feel at home next to the water by incorporating natural colors and fabrics into your daily wear: leather, straw, cotton and cool blue colors.

Packing list:

• Bold sundress

• Straw-accessories: beach bag, fedora, floppy hat, basket purse, espadrilles

• Gold shimmery eyeshadow

• Gold bangles, earrings and necklaces

• Coral-inspired prints or colors

• Tunic

• Short-shorts

• Leather gladiators

Party/summer wedding:

Pick a bright, monochrome dress for a chic summer look. A fabric tip: Silk chiffon is a great, lightweight summer fabric that won’t cling when the heat rolls in.

Packing list:

• Monochrome dress

• Peep-toe pumps: more delicate than chunky

• Earrings: eye-catching, contrasting colors (such as jade earrings paired with a purple chiffon dress)

• Bracelets or bangles: Match these to your clutch or heels for just the right hint of coordination

Big city/Night on the town:

Sight-seeing and cocktail-drinking are a tricky fashion combination; however, with the right shapes and combos, you’ll soon be a tourist and worthy task-master!

Packing list:

• Large purse

• Comfortable walking sandals

• Anorak: bright and colorful, please!

• Racer-back dress: This silhouette is sexy and can easily be dressed up after a day of meandering

• Accessories: metallic combinations for an urban feel

Small town/Backyard BBQ:

Save your 4-inch heels for the city sidewalks and pack comfy, classic pieces.

Packing list:

• Color palette, classic country: blue and white

• Short-sleeve cardigan

• Tortoise sunglasses

• Simple dress: a cotton fabric is simple and cool (plus, if you find one with an elastic bodice, wear it as a skirt, too!)

• Flats, espadrilles or wedges

• Simple jewelry, like hoop earrings or long necklace
