How to Style your Iron-On Bee Patch for Summer

Patches are not just for Jackets!

It's bordering on Summer, the sun is (mostly) shining and those coats and denim jackets are taking a well earned rest at the back of the wardrobe. But just because your layers are hibernating over summer, doesn't mean your flair has to! My Iron-On Bee Patch has more of a summer vibe to it anyway, so I put together some picnic-friendly, beach-fabulous ideas for how to style yours this Summer.

Cute tops and Beach Coverups 

Add a little bit of flair to a plain top or cami with two matching bee friends, or iron onto the pocket of a tee shirt. Show off a unique bit of bee love, even on the beach!

Basket bags are having a big moment this Summer, and who can blame us? Ultimate Picnic Chic. Take yours to the next level by using dots of superglue to don a bee (or seven!) to your basket bag to look the picture of summer.

Little Details

As much as I'm here for a full bee-bedecked outfit, sometimes it can be nice to go for a more subtle nod to those bumbly babes. Iron on your bee patch to a soft velvet scrunchie, a canvas makeup bag, or even soft fabric shoes for a little nod to the season.
