I put together this outfit over the weekend as something I had planned to wear while I was running around on Saturday. It's funny though because I was on the fence about whether or not I even wanted to wear it or post it. You all know I love my color, pattern, texture, and shine, and although I do have the "pattern" in this ensemble with the striped flats, I'm kind of missing all of my other usual ingredients. Jenna encouraged me to go for it, and I'm glad she did! I really need to be reminded every once in awhile that neutrals are ok - even when only paired with other neutrals!!
Sunnies: Ray Ban | Necklace: Express (option) | Bag: Longchamp | Top: LOFT | Bracelet: Banana Republic | Shorts: American Eagle (option) | Flats: Halogen (option, option)
What's great about this combo is that it will work just as well if I traded these shorts for my olive skinnies. It was just so hot this weekend that I needed bare legs. Sometimes I get side-eyed for wearing long sleeves with bare legs, but for whatever reason it just works out, ok? #dontjudge

That chambray shirt is gorgeous. I love that it is collarless. I now want one just like it. The striped pointy flats and the necklaces are so pretty, also. You did a great job layering those necklaces. =)

It's more than okay to wear all neutrals sometimes- glad Jenna gave you a push in the right direction! I am so used to seeing long sleeves with shorts on bloggers that I forgot people in the outside world don't do that. But it can work, especially if you'll be indoors.

I love this look! Nothing beats a great chambray, and you've accessorized it perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am still jealous of your flat lay skills and still cannot master them. I love that top and those shorts together! Longchamps are the best too!

I always wear longer sleeves and shorts it helps you from freezing if you go somewhere where the a/c is BLASTING. This look is what i call summer casual perfection. Love it from head to striped toe!
