To all the haters saying, "This summer is a wash," I say, have a little imagination! Sure, summer 2020 is looking a little different than we thought it would at the start of the year, but just because travel plans may be dashed and access to a beach or pool limited doesn't mean that summer is officially canceled. Or at least, I'm trying to convince myself that it's not. In my neck of the woods, it sure feels like summer and a big part of celebrating my favorite season is through what I wear. Hey, I'm a fashion editor, after all.

So although my dreamy Italian getaway may no longer a thing, I'm putting all my energy into dressing as if it still were happening. A wise person once said that thoughts become things, so with that in mind, I've created an epic summer vacation wish list to help me manifest a vacation state of mind without even leaving my apartment. It includes everything from floaty dresses and pretty tops to swimsuit coverups and easy sandals that, under different circumstances, I would be packing into a suitcase right about now.

Life is really what you make of it, so continue on to peruse the 26 glorious items I'll gladly wear at home (and save for a future vacation one day).

Next up, the 20 accessories I'm eyeing on Amazon to complete my summer wardrobe.
