I’ve had these shorts all spring and summer, but have had a hard time figuring out a top to go with them. Black works, obviously. A white top felt too boring. My navy tops are too heavy for the current weather. (Note to self: Buy a solid navy top in a lighter fabric!) A neon pink tee felt too casual for where I was headed. I finally pulled out this button-down shirt and it worked! The combination of orange and purple never gets old to me. Of course, the shades have to be right, but when they are, I can’t get enough!
Gap Button-Down Shirt / Gap Ikat Shorts (They also used this ikat fabric for a few other pieces – Tote, Dress, Shoes) / Sam Edelman Sandals / Ralph Lauren Aviators / Michael Kors Watch / J.Crew Pave Bracelet / I Spy DIY + Chloe & Isabel Bracelet / Sequin Bangles – one & two / gifted Kristin Hassan Leather Bracelet
Ooo love this combination, the perfect casual weekend outfit for NYC. Those shorts would be killer with a chambray top, too!

I love a bold off color with prints 🙂 I finally got myself those SE sandals (in black) I kinda wanna go back and get the awesome color-blocked ones as well!
I always love your arm candy (<–pretty sure thats the first time I said that "out loud".)

Peach is one of my favorite colors as of late…so perfect for summer, but can just as easily transition into fall 🙂 Oh, and those shorts are adorable. You look fab!
