Keep it simple is a motto I like to live by. Sometimes I think we complicate things and make them more difficult than they need to be. And I think the same goes for our outfits too. Sometimes simple is good, and less is more. This outfit originally consisted of a white tank and jean shorts (I know, how basic can you get) then I layered a vintage floral button down on top. And by vintage, I mean I wore this button down in high school -- yes high school! So it's over 10 years old, hence the "vintage" label : )
Outfit Details:
Floral Button down: American Eagle (soooo old it's practically vintage) // White Tank: Old Navy Jean Shorts: F21 // Watch & Bracelet: Michael Kors //
Necklace: Tiffany & Co. // Flip Flops: Tory Burch
Is anyone else proud they still wear pieces from high school or from a long time ago? ; )

The cardigan is too cute! I highly doubt that I would even fit into anything from high school lol
ReplyDeleteI am totally proud to wear pieces from long ago. It means I'm taking good care of my clothes and they're lasting a long time. It's great to know I'm not spending money on clothes only to never wear them again once the season is over.

Yep, I have 2 skirts that I got at Express back in I think 7th or 8th grade. I still wear them all the time and think it is so funny that they are so old!
ReplyDeleteOh I still wear stuff from high school every now and then, although it's mostly out of pride that they still fit, not because whiskering is still in style ;)

So cute, love the floral button down. What's old will always be new again... which is why I have so much trouble getting rid of stuff!

I totally agree that less is more quite often. The floral print on that button down, by the way, is lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I too just recently dug up some gems from the back of my closet and wrote a post on it Monday - check it out!

If I was still able to fit into some of my stuff from high school I'd be rocking them all the time. So jealous of this look- it's too adorable for words!

Simple outfits are sometimes the best ones! This is a great look, the layering is just right for summer.
ReplyDeleteLove the top! And I really love your ring.

I like your watch. I tend to gravitate towards simple and basic items too.
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep things from High School! I definitely have a hard time letting go of things (clothes mainly) because you just never know when the style will come back around! I still have SO much stuff from HS at my parents house that I just couldn't bear to part with it. I actually just cut up an old pair of Abercrombie jeans into shorts (They were a little tight) but I can maybe wear them with a flowy shirt! Have fun in Florida :)
