Breezy Meets Bold: Style Moves For Warmer Days
Introducing the June Lively Lady: Beckie Bronson!
Meet Beckie!
In 1978, Beckie and her family got presented with the opportunity to open up a McDonalds in Durango. They were so excited to move to this great town and call it home! Beckie and John raised their two sons here, who both graduated from Durango High School. (Hint: the beautiful Miss Beckie is Johnna’s mother-in-law!) Beckie loved being involved in all the activities Durango has to offer — from skiing, to biking, hiking and attending all the fun community events we have! Beckie feels blessed to have raised her two sons in a place like Durango. In 1990, Beckie moved to California and finally settled in San Diego when her first grandson was born there. She is now blessed with 5 amazing grandsons and a new baby great-grandson. After retiring from 33 years of teaching, Beckie still enjoys traveling, walking, hiking, and knitting baby afghans to give away.
Beckie’s favorite lively brands include AG Jeans, KUT From the Kloth, Wooden Ships, Sanctuary, and Bryant & Co bags. Beckie says she loves shopping at lively because, “all the lively girls are like my family”.

As the days stretch longer and the air warms, it’s time to breathe new life into your wardrobe! Transitioning from spring’s layered looks to summer’s breezy ease doesn’t have to be complicated. In this month’s Lively Lookout, we’re spotlighting three effortlessly chic outfits that blend cozy comfort with warm-weather sophistication. From pops of bold color to relaxed neutral pieces, these looks show that embracing the new season is as easy as swapping a few key pieces. Let’s dive in and see how to keep your style fresh and fabulous as summer makes its debut!
This outfit is the perfect example of how to transition seamlessly from spring’s breezes to summer’s sun-drenched days. The lightweight, long sleeve blouse in a washed, coastal blue shade keeps things fresh and comfortable while providing just enough coverage for cooler mornings. Paired with lightweight, striped jeans that evoke a laid-back vibe, this look is effortlessly chic yet practical. The neutral, textured bag adds a casual elegance, and the wide-brim, straw hat not only polishes off the look but also provides that much-needed sun protection. Perfect for an afternoon out shopping or sipping an iced coffee at your favorite café, this outfit balances comfort and style with ease.

This outfit perfectly captures the easygoing elegance that makes spring-to-summer transitions feel seamless. The lightweight white button-down, with its relaxed fit and charming embroidered detail, is an ideal layering piece that’s both airy and put-together. Paired with soft sage green trousers that add a fresh earthy tone, the outfit is cool and comfortable enough for those early summer days while still offering protection from spring’s lingering chill. Neutral-toned heeled sandals keep the look light and add a touch of sophistication — making this ensemble a versatile choice for everything from casual strolls to relaxed brunches with your friends.

This outfit is a great example of how to embrace the fresh energy of summer while keeping a nod to spring’s soft coziness. The lightweight, breathable knit sweater — complete with a playful American flag motif (the perfect sweater for the 4th of July!) — keeps you warm when spring breezes linger, but also works as an easy layer when the day heats up. Paired with a bright, crochet maxi skirt that pops with summer’s vibrant spirit, it’s both comfortable and bold. This look captures the playful, transitional style that spring-to-summer calls for: soft textures, breezy layers, and color palette that’s ready to welcome the sun.
