What I Wore This Week (Heat Wave Edition)

We had a small heatwave this past week, (it got up to 90 degrees!) so I’m wearing shorts & tanks; mostly in cotton & linen materials! I was really comfortable & happy in all of these outfits, even while chasing around my 4 year old and newly crawling 11 month old.

I really haven’t done an outfit round-up in awhile– I just haven’t had the time to get around to it. I definitely miss doing them though, so I am going to try to be better about getting these posts written during the summer. This past week I got dressed just about every day, so here is a little outfit round-up of what I wore!

These raw hem linen pants are sooooo good! They come in a couple other colors (I’m also loving the green!) and have pockets. I paired them with this cute white top from amazon. Highly recommend it– comes in lots of other colors & is just so pretty. I also added my rattan crossbody bag & some heels to dress it up.

I’ve been looking for a cute pair of overalls & these are perfect! The filter makes them look green but they are, in fact, a dark grey. They also come in multiple other colors. I paired them with comfy slide sandals, a plain white tee, & the belt bag my husband bought me on our babymoon in Cape May, NJ. I’m looking forward to wearing these comfy overalls so many other ways!

This dress is just a dream! The weight of it is perfect so it hangs & flows so nicely. I love the smocked top & the ruffle hem. Gold is one of my favorite colors & this particular hue is perfect for summer & fall alike–just add a jean jacket! It also comes in black.

4 Casual Ways to Wear a White 100% Cotton Button Up Top (2 for spring, 2 for summer)

A white button up top is a classic item to have in your wardrobe & I realized I was missing one in mine! I found this $20 white linen-like button down from Target & it’s so soft and a lightweight gauzy material.


It is the perfect lightweight layer or top for spring & summer. Last year I ordered it in the yellow/brown color & I wore it often, so I knew I had to get the white option this year! I ordered the xs and it fits perfectly for an oversized fit.

I put together 4 simple ways to wear this white cotton button up. The first two looks work well for spring & the second two are better suited for summer.

If you prefer video content, check out the reel HERE!

As always, I will link everything (or similar options if item is older/sold out) via Liketoknow.it at the bottom of the post. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase something using my links, and it is no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support– it means the world! 🙂

This first look is more for early spring– I find myself wanting to dress in lighter colors and layers but it’s still slightly chilly. This top (possibly with a white tank layered under for extra warmth!), my levi jeans, and my cream Vivaia flats are a perfect casual look!

This second look is monochromatic. I am LOVING monochromatic looks lately. They elevate an entire look, & add my cream Vivaia heels & you’ve got a comfy but great outfit!

This third look is geared towards summer. I love linen shorts for summer. They’re so comfy and feel like wearing pjs! This pair is so versatile due to it’s color & they’re only $15 at Target! I added some sparkly sandals, but any sandals would work great as well (I just ordered this pair & I’ll definitely be wearing them with this outfit)! I left my cotton button down open with a white tank underneath for a more casual feel.

What is a more classic summer look than cutoff shorts & a white top?! I love these Levi 501 shorts (I have them in 2 washes now!) I’d also definitely add a white tank & wear the cotton button down open like I did in the previous look.

Do you own a white button down? How would you style it?

How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.
