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

No Comments

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.

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.

How to Wear White Sneakers As we Head into Spring

No Comments

So I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge sneaker girl– but I want to be! They’re so comfy and they do look cute. SOOO I bought this white pair off of amazon & I am determined to wear them this spring/summer! It doesn’t hurt that this particular pair is also super comfy.
In my determination to wear them, I decided to style them multiple ways. These are 4 looks I came up with! I’m loving them all & I can’t wait for it to be warm enough outside for me to wear bare ankles yet again.

If you prefer video content, you can see the reel HERE!

My first look is a crew neck, straight leg jeans, and sneaks. I love this look because it’s very “90’s mom.” My crewneck is from Etsy and has my family’s’ birth month flowers on it, but any cute crewneck sweatshirt will do! I also have a henley sweatshirt from madewell that would look super cute with these!

The second look is a classic spring look– a floral dress, a jean jacket, and sneakers. How cute! I love florals for spring (of course!) and the sneakers dress the whole look down a bit (my dress is sold out but I will link similar options!).

The third look is a white tee, straight leg jeans, cardigan, and sneakers. Very casual, but perfect for running errands or for a play date.

My final look is a graphic tee, floral midi skirt, and the sneakers. Add a rattan circle bag & you look perfect for church or brunch! You could also add your denim jacket here too as an extra layer. Cute & comfy. Win!

Are you a sneaker person? If not, have I inspired you? 😉

Three Ways to Style A Shacket (AKA Shirt Jacket)

No Comments

Shackets are all the rage & so trendy– for good reason! They are a great way to layer & add warmth & cuteness to a look. I love the look & they’re easy to throw on. There are a ton of different materials– corduroy, plaid, boucle, sherpa, you name it there is a shirt jacket for it.
The majority of shackets have either a very oversized look or are just slightly oversized.
Today I am styling a less oversized shacket from Style Trolley, an online boutique with so many cute items. If you want to pick up my shacket, you can here (use StyleTrolley20 for 20% off)!
This shacket is a boucle material and heavier weight. I love the neutral colors, the snap buttons, and the oversized pockets!

If you prefer video content, you can check out the reel of me styling it HERE!

Look number 1: a long sleeve top, straight leg jeans, and chelsea boots. This look is super trendy with the straight legs and the lug sole chelsea boots. It’s also very comfy and it would look cute to tie the shacket around your waist.

Look number 2: a hoodie, leggings, & sneakers. This is a sportier look. I love the look of a hoodie with a shacket & this makes the shacket extra cute & cozy! I recently picked up some taupe leggings which would also look super cute with this shacket!

Look number 3: skinny jeans, sock boots, and shacket buttoned up (tucked or untucked). This look is more dressed up because of the shoes, but I feel like you can either keep it more casual with the shacket untucked, or make it look more dressed up by front tucking. Either way, so so cute!

Do you own a shacket yet? Which look would you try?

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

No Comments

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.
