We’re at the point of summer where it’s hard for me to put any sort of effort into my outfits. It’s just TOO hot to think of and actually wear anything cute and thoughtful, and I end up defaulting to my go-to tee + shorts combination of which I can make what feels like countless outfits. That uniform feels stale after a while, so this outfit is a more elevated take on that casual combination.

Instead of opting for a plain (white) tee to wear with my denim shorts, I wore my white lace tank (or is it crochet?). Mine is very old from the Lilly for Target collection. I’m still very proud of myself for managing to snag this in store! (And now that it’s been a few years, there are a bunch available on Poshmark!) For additional textural interest, I topped the outfit off with my pink velvet baseball cap. While the dead of summer doesn’t lend itself to very interesting outfits because of the heat and lack of layering, it’s fun to mix things up with textures. Of course, the combination of pink, white, and navy is a forever favorite of mine, too!
