My Go-to Summer Look

If you've followed this blog for a while or are somewhat familiar with my style, then you probably know that I love an easy and casual look that looks put-together... I mean, who doesn't?
This look is just that. It's pretty effortless and I've had it on repeat a lot lately...


a solid tee or cami, a tied button-up oxford shirt, jeans or shorts, and simple oxfords or sandals. 

This has been the perfect outfit for me all summer. I love tying a button-up shirt and leaving it open instead of buttoning it up. It creates a casual look and allows you to be cool, especially with warmer temperatures. 
This also works well with sandals, but working in an office or from home often, I usually like to wear closed toed shoes- especially comfortable loafers. 


When you're going for a simple look like this, try mixing patterns- which will make even the most casual outfit pop. Wearing a striped button-up, like this one from J.Crew Factory and leopard loafers give that effect.

New York...

Last week, Old Navy had a 40% sale and I went on a huge shopping spree. I picked up this NY tee (which apparently is actually a maternity shirt), these shoes, this amazing sequined cardi, and a ton of other clothes for Brogan and I. 

New York is one of my favorite places that I've visited and I hope to go back there again, hopefully sooner than later! So naturally, when I saw this tee I wanted to have it. 

The cardi and the flats that I'm wearing are amazing. I am in love with the sequined elbow patches and the simple black and gold loafers. Also an FYI- these loafers are super comfortable and they don't give you blisters so that's a plus!
