Thermal + Shorts

Tee - Socialite / Shorts - J.Crew Factory / Flats (similar here) - BP / Bag - Sole Society / Watch - Wristology / Necklace - Stella & Dot

This short sleeved thermal top is one of those things I saw on Instagram a few times and had to have - I love the buttons and the little tie front, plus it's so fun that it's a thermal but short sleeved, so I can wear it now and feel ready for fall even when it's still 80 degrees outside. Wearing this top with white shorts and pink accessories definitely isn't the most "fall" way to do it, but it looks equally as cute with jeans and booties. We're working our way into this fall thing haha. On September 1st I actually tried to wear a blanket scarf for a hot second before deciding it's still too soon. Maybe in another week or two I'll be ready!

Just a note on this shirt, I am wearing the large which is the biggest size available. I wish it were a little more oversized like I've seen on other people, but I decided it's cute at this size too. But, amazingly, the buttons are functional and they don't gape at all on me, which is basically a miracle. I don't know what kind of witchcraft is at play here, but I'm willing to go with it. If you're looking to snag it, move fast. The only color left is yellow, and when I bought it two weeks ago there were a bunch of other colors available. Here's hoping they do a restock!

I wore this over the weekend, and I swear when I got dressed it was sunny out with just a small chance of rain. Yeah, we walked out of the house half an hour later, and between leaving the building and walking to our car a block away it downpoured. Like the kind of rain where having an umbrella doesn't help. Probably would have picked different shoes if I knew I was going to get soaked!! We were driving down to the Gold Coast to visit Jeff's new baby sister Isabella again and I had grand plans of getting pictures on the cute streets down there, but the rain had other plans. Instead, we literally almost got stuck on Lake Shore Drive because all of the underpasses had flooded, and found that a couple of windows had leaked when we managed to get home. Yay. So, instead of cute pictures on well manicured, beautiful streets, we ducked out onto the balcony during the twenty minutes between storms and quickly snapped these. Jeff was shirtless and shoeless if that helps with your mental image.
