Rocked it & Swapped it (2 Items, 2 Ways)

A great sheer knit is a wardrobe staple for summer. So is a straw fedora or panama style hat.

Kaitlyn got this beautiful top from H&M and I found this hat at Forever 21, both picked up a few months back. 

When she wore the top up north, it was styled over her bathing suit early in the day, then over a gray tee that night. A sheer knit really is such a great layering piece to have in your closet for those cooler summer evenings! She also added the hat to finish her post-beach look off. 

I too wore her top at the lake house, but this time over 4th of July weekend. I put it on over a swing dress to stay warm on the pier at night and had my hat on all day for sun protection. 

Her is how we both styled the top and hat as a pair: 

Do you own either or both of these items? What are two of your summer style wardrobe staples?
