American Pie




What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie Red Delicious Blouse
*H&M Destroyed Denim Shorts (similar here and here)
*Aldo Maune Suede Lace-up Wedges (similar here and here)

Nothing fancy on this summery Sunday! Just a fun printed top, destroyed denim shorts (bought on the cheap, only $10!), and some lace-up wedges to keep this look from looking too retro. The Red Delicious Blouse is such a great vibrant pattern. I am not usually drawn to red shades but this apple printed top was too cute. It kind of reminds me of a top I think Donna from That 70s Show would rock. I think a fun belt would have added that little extra to make this special, but of course I always think of stuff like that after I've already taken and uploaded photos.

I can't believe I've been wearing shorts lately. I used to really hate them, but I picked up a bunch of cheap pairs from H&M, and I've been wearing them constantly. I find them to be really comfortable, and I like them for both going out and walking around during the daytime. How do y'all feel about shorts?

  2. You look great in that outfit! I haven't wore shorts since, oh maybe 7th grade, but some of the new shorts at Anthro (like the ones with the anchors)have made me want to reconsider.

  5. Dang! Dang, you can really look good in pretty much anything, huh? I've been in love with this shirt ever since it's been on the website, but I wasn't sure how it would look on- that bright red. But that print is calling my name, and it looks so stunning on you...dare I give it a try?
    Any tips on sizing?

  7. I'm not into wearing shorts so much, but last year I found a cute pair from Merona that are basic and like dressing them up with a bit of a heel. I love those denim ones from H&M you have. They look great with the dressed up shoes and top.

  8. I love shorts, but I'm not entirely comfortable with wearing them out in public. Then again, I think it depends on the length of the shorts! I love that blouse, it's so adorable! And I can TOTALLY see Donna from That 70s Show wearing it!

  9. I think I need to go check out this top after seeing it on all my lovely lady blogger friends! I've been going back to shorts this year too. Usually I avoid them because they feel too...short? Young? I don't know what it is, but I picked up a few pairs this season ranging from super short to bermuda length.
