Fade to Grey

J.Crew Linen Tee, 7 For All Mankind Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac in Soft Grey,
Valentino Flats, Essie Nail Polish in Plumberry, Vintage Necklace from Greece

I used to have a huge obsession with floral shirts. Of course, it didn't make it any better that I also was obsessed with anything sequined, tiaras, veils, barrettes, and, most of all, pink. Even with my short pixie cut, I was the exact opposite of a tomboy. Ever since that period of unfortunate fashion choices, I have avoided any shirts with giant flowers on the front. However, this J.Crew tee is much less ornate and glittery than past equivalents. The linen fabric is super soft, effortless, and has gotten me hooked on the linen tees from Madewell and J.Crew. I love wearing this shirt with a skirt and pearls, but a pair of neutral flats, grey jeans, a grey clutch, and a vintage necklace perfectly dress down a potentially fancy shirt.

Chic Chambray

FEED Chambray Shirt, Oscar de la Renta Shorts, Kate Spade Wristlet, Vera Wang Sandals, Dogeared Necklace, Chanel Le Vernis Nail Polish in Rose Exuberante, 

Ever since the chambray trend caught on, I have been somewhat hesitant to wear the fabric. At first, I was afraid chambray would look too masculine or western. I was still skeptical when I purchased a Burberry light wash chambray skirt back in April, but this FEED dark wash chambray shirt truly changed my mind. Especially during this heatwave, I have been sticking to the basics and thin fabrics. When paired with these scalloped shorts from Oscar de la Renta, last seen here, this casual and versatile outfit kept me cool and comfortable. For fall, or at least once the weather starts cooling down, I am really excited to layer this chambray shirt with a cashmere sweater or a thin blazer, a bright belt, and cropped jeans.
