ruffled + distressed |style|

I built my outfit around this awesome eyelit covered, off-the-shoulder top. When I first saw it online at ASOS, I immediately fell in love with all its details & I assure you, it’s even prettier in person. The shirt isn’t technically “cropped,” but seeing as that I am a chronic”tucker,” I paired it with a pair of high-waisted jeans because it wouldn’t stay tucked in a lower rise cut. These jeans are some of the most comfortable denim that I own, so I’m definitely not complaining. I actually stumbled upon these jeans one day when curiosity got the best of me & I wandered into an Abercrombie & Fitch to see what in the hell they had been up to since I graduated from high school a few years ago 😉 They had obviously been up to designing amazing denim.

| SHOP:  A&F Jeans | Ruffle Top | Silver Oxford Shoes | Star Embellished Bag |

The white top & jeans look can lean very “family pictures on the beach,” so I topped them off with some bolder accessories. I am a huge fan of brogues or oxford shoes…even if my husband is not. These silver ones (which I also own in electric blue) are my testimonial to “life is too short to wear boring shoes.” The silver, star-embellished bag is everything my dreams are made of: stars, beads, sequins, & suede. Shop this look with the links posted above & I hope you’ve gained some fun accessory inspiration. As always, sending lots of tropical vibes your way!
