Button-down & Crepe Shorts: The Upgraded Casual

July 9, 2014

Anthropolgie Mauve Islet Buttondown & J.Crew Pleated Crepe Shorts

Summer weather has been getting so hot lately that my number one priority in dressing has been to stay cool and comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, looking good is still a priority. So what’s a girl to do when it 90° F outside and she’s looking to upgrade her shorts & tank casual look? Enter the buttondown and crepe shorts.
The islet buttondown from Anthropologie is made from lightweight flowy material that lets air in so it keeps you cool in the hot summer days. While the pleated crepe shorts lets you show some skin and stay cool in a material thats dressier than the regular ol’ denim cutoffs.
Add some dressy sandals plus a super easy crown braid (video tutorial) and you are good to go!

Outfit Combo: islet buttondown from Anthropologie, pleated crepe shorts J.Crew, thrifted belt, thrifted bag, sandals from Stuart Weitzman, necklace from Gorjana Griffin.

    I love your braided updo. I’m a braid girl as well, especially in the summer!

    Such a cute summer look! I want those shorts!

  • Marlen July 10, 2014 at 10:49 am

    I love how your answer to beating heat isn’t to wear less, it’s to wear lighter materials! Love that kind of thinking. And I haven’t seen crepe shorts yet but now I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for them. And you and those braids are SO cute- I love how they look sophisticated but really playful and fun.

    Also, I need to get me one of those wish compasses from Pirates of the Caribbean, haha! Like you, sometimes I’m confused as to what I’m actually working towards. Why can’t it just be easy sometimes!!
