My favorite Gucci sunglasses broke! Needless to say, I’ve been devastated. I’m trying to
fix them, but in the meantime I’ve been wearing these oversized shades from Target. This crop sweater I’m wearing has been one of my favorite additions to my wardrobe this year. I did a previous outfit post/video featuring this top in colder weather (click here for that post and for the video). The top is so simple but looks so styled and expensive on- definitely one of my ‘go-to’ pieces when I’m unsure of what to wear. 

Unlike the sweater, these shorts were crazy expensive! (And crazy uncomfortable..) I had buyer’s remorse for weeks after purchasing them, but I’ve already worn them with SO many outfits that they’ve proven worth their price. High waisted beaded shorts don’t sound very versatile, but their neutral coloring have made them crazy easy to wear with endless items. They are a statement piece- so everything else needs to be relaxed (which makes it even easier to get ready- minimal makeup and a 5 minute hairstyle to complete this look) The half fishtail has been one of my main looks this summer- super simple while interesting and different.
