BEACHY BUTTON-UP #OOTD



Top: Billabong [old- similar here, here & here] | Shorts: AE [old, similar here + here] | Sunnies: Quay | Sandals: Rainbow | Initial Necklace: LuluDK [old- similar here] | Earrings: Target [old - similar here]

It feels so good to put up another #OOTD! I haven't really "gotten ready" with hair or makeup in what feels like forever. I shared on IG that the past few weeks have been something else-- I've definitely been feelin' the ebbs and flows. Sometimes you just have to ride the ride and get through them, ya know? I'm finally feeling more like myself this week so I gave the leggings a break + went for this relaxed, beachy outfit today.

I love the look of button-ups with denim. Depending on what pieces you use, it can swing business casual or relaxed and beachy like today's look. Too bad I shot these from a parking lot and not somewhere tropical, LOL! Are you planning to go anywhere for vacation for this summer? Right now I have no plans to but would love it! 

Let's jump into outfit deets. My top is several years old now-- I found it in my closet with the tags still on it so I figured I may as well start wearing it now? I use to be so bad about buying things and never wearing them. Luckily I still think it's cute! This one is made of a lightweight, textured cotton and has tails in the front that you knot. The striping with those details makes it the perfect relaxed top for the summer. I think it would also be really cute unbuttoned with a swimsuit underneath! Since it's no longer available, I found a bunch of similar styles with the same vibe that I love. I'll link them here, here, here + here for you. 

My shorts are also super old from AE... really striking out here with the current fashion! Any pair of denim ones would work-- the more distressed, the better. Even though the button-up is very casual, I think the distressing still helps balance it out and adds some extra texture. AE denim shorts are still some of my faves-- love this pair and this pair.

You already know I couldn't make this a beachy look without my trusty Rainbows! Forever my favorite, most-worn pair of sandals. Super comfy, durable and versatile. I have this skinny strap style but they come in wide strap too. 

Hope you have a great rest of your week, only a few more days until the weekend! :)

I love sharing my style with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)
