Outfit Post: Shades of Blue - My Highest Self

Outfit Post: Shades of Blue

This week, I did some much-needed shopping for shorts and Summer jeans.  I did not find any shorts that I liked (no surprise there) but I DID find the perfect pair of ankle jeans at Kohl’s!  They were exactly what I was looking for, fit just right, and are so comfortable so I picked up two pairs: light wash and dark wash.  When I find a great pair of jeans it always pays to get more than one pair.  They were on sale for $27.99 and I found this simple top for Summer at just $11.00.  Score!

I added some Target sandals from a few years back, my newest cobalt blue clutch from JustFab, and new jewelry from Rocksbox.  Can we talk about the tassel details on this clutch?  I love the bright blue against the light blues in my outfit!  It actually comes with a very cute chain link strap.  I keep it in my purse for those times when I need my hands free.  This very comfy outfit is affordable and great for every day.

    Pretty much summer personified! Got tickled at myself when I was so relieved that you carry your little clutch in another real bag … I am stunned and amazed that there are women who actually get by with tiny little wee clutches .
    Looking very much into your higher persona here!

      Hi Jan! Oh actually I do use this as a purse in a pinch but NEVER as my every day bag! I need to many things for both myself and my kids so my every day bag is BIG :). Thanks so much for the compliment, much appreciated!

      Thanks, Sarah! I love that I can turn it into a crossbody purse in a flash too. I have definitely found myself wearing leggings in the summer as well. I just cannot see myself wearing these extra short shorts that are in stores everywhere :(.

      Thanks, Sharon! It is definitely an easy top to wear, I was so drawn to the denim blue stripes I couldn’t pass it up.
