A Genuine Good Gingham Print Mix to Steal Summer

While SheIn can be hit or miss, I’m loving this gingham sleeve tee that I snagged.  In fact, I wore it twice last week — it’s that good.  While it has the potential to be dressed up, I’m loving how it looks when worn casually.

A Genuine Good Gingham Print Mix | What’s the Skinny?

This striped knit tee features the cutest gingham sleeves and is a great dupe for one that J. Crew released earlier this spring.  The tee sold out before I was able to snag one so I was excited when I found this gingham sleeve dupe.  I’m wearing an XS which fits comfortably and paired it with my favorite pair of J. Crew chino shorts.

This exact style {broken-in boyfriend} isn’t made anymore but the material is thicker & the fit is super flattering!  {So flattering, that I’m still holding onto this pair that I thrifted years ago and are a tad bit big now.}

These @jcrew broken in boyfriend shorts are the BEST! Click To Tweet

These Classic Flat sandals from Palm Beach Sandals are easy to slide on as I’m running out the door. To tie in the stripes in this tee, I reached for these striped tassel earrings.  I’m loving how lightweight this pair from the Sugarfix by Baublebar line.  Some new releases just hit online and in-store so be sure to check them out!

To finish off the look, I pulled out this striped crossbody bag from Fossil; the hot pink tassel was a fun pop against the neutral pieces and coordinates perfectly with my bright pink lipstick.  I knotted the strap to wear it as a shoulder bag; the crossbody purse is pretty small with little stretch so keep in mind that you won’t be able to fit much in this little cutie.

Finally, I’m wearing my brand new Kendra Scott necklace that I made last weekend at the Color Bar in Lexington.  I went with a bold colored stone set in gunmetal for a unique look and I love how it turned out.

    Hi Nicole! What a super cute look for summer! I love the navy blue and white stripes with the shorts. I’m always looking for a good deal and with a super busy schedule, there’s not much time for shopping, unfortunately. It’s very helpful that you have made it so much easier to find and purchase these items through your links. Great post and love your style!

    That top is so much fun! It’s totally flirty and cute and perfect for summer. I can see myself tucking it into a button-front skirt and wearing bright white accessories! I love it!

      Completely agree! I feel like last summer it was more 50-50 and this year I’ve found a ton of pieces that I love!
