Excited for the party but not sure what to wear? Can’t decide on a dress for that upcoming wedding? Confused about what business casual actually means?

askglamchic1We think a picnic for two is the ultimate adorably romantic date for summer, but it might prove a little hard to dress for. You want to look  as cute as always, but you’ve got to wear clothes and accessories that will survive grass, dirt, and possibly a breeze, too. We say go simple, sweet, pretty, and practical.

1. Wildflower Waltz Dress ($64.99 at ModCloth.com). This dress is easy and chic with its two-piece look all in one. It’s a classic silhouette with a cute and colorful print—with a dark enough base that even if you do get a grass stain, no one would be able to tell!

2. Fabric Flower Clip (approximately $8 at MissSelfridge.com). If you can’t beat them, join them—there’s really no point in trying to compete with all the blossoming flowers in the park, but you can evoke the same pretty, petaled feeling with this cute clip. They’re a nice pop of color and they’ll keep your hair out of your face, too.

3. Shimmer Flower Ring ($4.80 at Forever21.com). Along the same lines, this floral-themed ring is a nice addition to a simple outfit, both as a color accent and a point of visual interest.

4. Junko Flats ($25 at AldoShoes.com). Flats are by far your best bet—even better than sandals—when you head to the park. Bike paths and lawns may not be that treacherous in theory, but on the off chance the grass is dewy or if there are puddles or mud… Besides, this pair is so cute, you really can’t complain.

5. Straw Studios Jennifer Woven Satchel ($40 at eBags.com). No picnic is complete without a basket! This adorable, structured bag is the perfect nod to the traditional picnic basket—and it just screams summer.
