Denim on Denim

Thank goodness for cutoffs. Although Saturday was kind of cool and rainy, the heat returned in full force yesterday (and it’s only supposed get warmer this week).

This swingy denim tee was a recent purchase from Gap and I just love it. You know that comfort is key for me. I love how breezy this top is and it’s nice that it doesn’t cling to the skin on hot, sticky days (ahhh, summertime).

On the weekends I live in my sneakers and I’m loving my new pair from Converse. Even though they were so popular, I never had a pair of Converse when I was growing up. I wasn’t really much of a sneakers girl at the time. Fast forward a few years: I now own multiple pairs of sneakers, but I was missing classic white sneakers. I like this pair in particular because although they have laces, they’re actually slip-ons!

My friend was in town for the weekend and I threw on this outfit before heading out to meet her for brunch. We went to The Smith, which I’ve wanted to try, but had never been to before. I faced my typical brunch dilemma (savory or sweet?), but in the end decided I was really craving a burger and fries. We sat in the downstairs area, which had racks of alcohol bottles displayed on the walls.

Ahhh, another good weekend that came and went in the blink of an eye. Is it Friday yet?

    I love this – you look so comfortable in the heat but also pretty perfectly pulled together. I remember how unbearable the summer could get in that area so I definitely appreciate how useful an outfit like this is.

    Love this look. I recently got a similar shirt from B.Repub that I’m loving. The only way I’ll wear double denim… thanks Dad!

    I always go for savory at The Smith– the burger is definitely super good! And I am a fan of the steak for dinner.

    These Converse are so cute. I had brown ones when I was younger, although I’ve never been much of a sneakers person. I have been wearing flats a lot lately though!
