Smart Southern Style - Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Celebrate Summer Collection

I am so excited to be sharing some of my favorite pieces from the new Celebrate Summer collection by Gibson & Cassie from Hi Sugarplum!  I have bought so many pieces by Gibson over the years and it is one of my go-to brands for pieces that are comfortable, colorful and affordable.  The new Celebrate Summer collection has all of these qualities and I am sure you will love the pieces as much as I do.  You can mix and match so many of the items and the prints and colors are perfect for summer.  And the best part?! With my discount code LAURA25, every piece in the collection is priced under $65 with free shipping!

My favorite piece in the collection is this STRAPPY MAXI DRESS. I love it so much I got it in three different prints! (Scroll to the bottom of this post for some additional photos of the three colors I got.) The cut is so flattering and comfy. It hangs nicely on the body and is a good length. I am 5’5” and the dress comes to my ankles. The dress also comes in petite sizes, and I recommend getting a petite if you are shorter than 5’4”. The straps are adjustable and the dress is fully lined. The maxi runs large so I recommend sizing down. I am wearing a size small and I usually wear a medium in dresses. I'm wearing this STRAPLESS BRA with the dress and it has been my go-to for several years. I will be wearing this maxi all summer, as you can dress it up with heels and dress it down with flat sandals. Layer with a denim jacket or light weight cardigan on cool evenings!

There are two other cute dresses in the collection including this TIERED COLORBLOCK DRESS. I love the bright shades of red and pink and it also comes in a pretty blue option. The ruffle collar adds a fun feminine touch and the cut is flattering with the flared skirt. I like the length on this dress, as it is not too short at about an inch above my knees. (I am 5’5”.) It has pockets, is fully lined and is regular bra friendly too! The dress runs large except for the bust area. I recommend sizing down if you are not busty. I sized down to a small (I usually wear a medium in dresses), but it is slightly snug in the bust.

This HALTER TANK and TIERED MAXI SKIRT will both be in heavy rotation this summer. The HALTER TANK has such a flattering neckline and is not see-through which is hard to find sometimes with white tops.  It is a soft comfortable material, under $30 with my discount code and is such a versatile piece. I wear this STRAPLESS BRA with the halter tank. If in between sizes, size down. I am wearing a size small in the tank.

I love the flowy fit of the TIERED MAXI SKIRT. It has an elastic waist and a side zipper and is so soft and comfortable. It has pockets too! For your reference regarding the length, the skirt hits at my ankles on my 5’5” frame. The skirt also comes in petite sizes and I recommend getting a petite if you are shorter than 5’4”. It comes in several other prints and I am planning to order a second one because I love it so much. Some maxi skirts look bulky on me, but I think this one is very flattering. I recommend sizing down in the skirt. I am wearing my usual size medium and it is too big in the waist. I think the size small would fit me better.

There are several tops that are part of the collection that are not pictured here. I love the RUFFLE NECK TOP and it comes in so many colors and patterns. I recommend sizing down in the ruffle neck top unless you are busty. If busty, stick with your regular size. If you are a bodysuit fan, this TANK BODYSUIT is always a best seller and runs true to size. The RUFFLED RACERBACK TANK is another best seller from previous collections that is available again in some pretty colors. I recommend sizing down the racerback tank. These tops are all very affordable at $30 - $40 after my discount code LAURA25.

A few other items includes in the collection are a COLORBLOCK WRAP DRESS (size down), HIGH WAISTED SHORTS (true to size) and HALTER JUMPSUIT (true to size).
