Can't stop, won't stop

J.Crew 'Tidewater stripe' shirt, ivory top, dark wash denim shirts, neutral flats -- Cotton Cashmere Cat Hair

...wearing my blue collared shirts this summer, apparently. I periodically check my Summer Outfits tab, and I noticed that I wore this striped shirt twice, the linen shirt in my previous post twice, my blue popover, my chambray shirt...and of course, my chambray shirtdress, which also has a collar (and which I also wore twice). I guess you can say I'm consistent!

Even though the high temperature when I wore this outfit flirted with 100 degrees, I decided to wear some light layers anyway. It's not often that I layer a top under an open button-up like this, and it's a look I want to experiment more with in the next few months. This top actually just visited the tailor to have the shoulder straps shortened. They were just long enough that my bra appeared sometimes and I wanted to not have to fuss with it. I figured I would get a whole lot more wear out of it for a relatively minor extra cost. 

Also, remember a couple of weeks ago when I talked about how I don't wear outfits with contrasting pieces that often? What was that about? It's been bothering me because I wear contrasting outfits QUITE often. I mean, case in point right here. I feel like I meant to elaborate more and decided to hit publish anyway. If you read that and I thought I was totally out of it, you were right. Haha. Goodness.
