Make your “Denim Shorts + a Top” More Interesting

It’s easy to get stuck in the rut of getting dressed in the morning and reaching for a plain tee with denim shorts everyday. It’s a cute look and I really love it, but sometimes I want a little bit more variety.

Here are 6 different types of tops you can pair and wear with your denim shorts (or jeans!) instead of a plain white tee.

1. A graphic tee

A graphic tee is a cute way to feel comfy and still look a little more elevated in the “denim shorts + a tee” uniform. My favorite graphic tees are from Mountain Moverz (use MARISSA20 for $$ off)!

2. A high neck tank

A high neck tank is such a great alternative to a plain tee. I think it’s so cute with a couple layered necklaces!

3. A blouse

Any little top that is different is always a cute option with denim shorts! I love this babydoll style top and I also have some cute textured tanks that I love to throw on for something a little more interesting.

4. A little white tank (or tee!)

A white top and denim is a classic in my book! I love how they pair together. This tank is SO OLD (from my highschool days) but I’ll link some cute ones that are still available.

5. A button up top

A button up top (cotton or linen especially!) is one of my favorite items to pair with denim shorts. It works great as a layer over a tank or even on its own.

Seven Ways I’m Wearing a Denim Midi Skirt for Summer

When denim midi and maxi skirts started coming back into style I said I would NEVER wear them—I was homeschooled and grew up in a very conservative environment and long skirts just gave me those vibes (nothing wrong with them, they just weren’t for me!).

BUT, I’ve slowly come around and I’ve been seeing so many cute ways to style them and I really found myself wanting to give one a try. So I picked this one up from Lulus and I feel like the high slit gives it a more modern vibe and not so “homeschooled”.

So, here are 7 ways I’m wearing a denim midi skirt for warm weather. I can’t wait to find even more ways to style this skirt!
