Today I looked into my closet and felt a little bored. Then I snapped out of it and realized that that’s ridiculous! Ladies (and gents), never get into the mindset that you “have nothing to wear”. Puhleeeeez, you just have to be a little creative!
I found my floral shorts and this striped button-down and thought they would look good together. But to tone down the stripes, I decided to layer on an old cropped blazer to pull everything together.
Blazer: Anthropologie – Similar $30 // Shorts: Gap – Similar $58 // Top: Banana Republic – Similar $60 // Purse: Abaco Paris // Cuff: Crystal Hexagon Cuff from INPINK ($18) // Watch: Michele // Shoes: DSW – Similar // Ring: Double Druzy Ring {$35} c/o Wrenn Jewelry // Necklace: Anthropologie – Similar $30 // Sunglasses: Thrifted

I love it! But even if you didn’t tone it down with the blazer, you would still look absolutely fab! I love the stripes/floral combination this summer, so casual yet so fancy!

Thank you Deb! I know! It’s so hard not to be bored of your closet. It’s so easy just to go out and buy something but not too good for our wallets.
