Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons… great words to live by! According to Symbolism Wiki, flamingos symbolize beauty, balance, and grace. They’re (obviously) also pink, which can personify femininity, innocence, confidence, and flirtatiousness. Plus, they’re beautiful birds, and as a lifelong Floridian, they make me feel at home. I bought this flamingo blouse four years ago, and I was ecstatic to see if it finally come back in stock. Ever since Kyle and I moved to Missouri, I’ve been wearing it like a badge of honor. It can be easily dressed down with navy shorts/blue jeans or dressed up with a skirt or columnist pants for a more professional feel. Full disclosure, though– it’s off-white, although it looks white, so it doesn’t pair super well with white bottoms. 

I paired my flamingo blouse with a hot pink mini skirt for Sunday brunch in Columbia. This C. Wonder skirt is one of my favorite summer bottoms, which is unfortunate considering C. Wonder went out of business. Although this exact style is no longer available, I linked a few similar skirt options below, along with all the rest of my outfit details. Plus, I’ve rounded up 29 of summer’s cutest flamingo gift ideas…. because, let’s be real, summer is the perfect time to “flamingle.”

I usually hate wearing rings in the summertime (the heat makes my fingers swell, and I can never get the darn things off…), but I love this sweet pearl leaf wrap ring from 7 Charming Sisters! Not only is it delicate and cute, but it’s adjustable, which is a godsend in this current climate. Use code DiaryOfADebutante15 to take 15% off your entire order, excluding sale items.
