even cowgirls get the blues

hi, friends!

wow, i cannot believe it’s already the last weekend of july! this summer has gone by so fast! next weekend i’m heading to boulder, co to celebrate my best friend from college sarah’s bachelorette weekend, and i am so excited! i’ve never been to colorado so i’m looking forward to enjoying the scenery while enjoying some quality time with my friends! my birthday is also in august, so i have that to look forward to, as well as sarah’s wedding later in the month in chicago. it’s going to be a busy last hurrah before fall, but i’m thrilled to be seeing my best friends while exploring new places.

this week’s look is something you can catch me in on a regular basis – i love graphic tees and tanks, as you know, and will never tire of a good pair of cutoffs. these are re/dones, which are essentially the holy grail for cutoffs and are definitely worth the extra cost. i’ve worn them nonstop since i got them, as they fit just how i like – high rise, a little loose, and perfectly worn-in. i probably could’ve gotten a size down from these, so for what it’s worth, the shorts seem to run true to size (i sized up because i didn’t want them too small). i also scored this mate the label tank on super sale when they ran a flash sale, but have linked it below also on sale at another retailer!

hat – minnetonka; sunglasses – ray-ban; bandana – by way of (local nashville maker, check her out here!); necklaces – lili claspe and consider the wldflwrs; tank – mate the label {on sale!}; belt – b-low the belt; shorts – re/done; boots – jeffrey campbell

shopping tip

if you’re not already, be sure to follow your favorite brands or retailers on instagram and sign up for e-mail alerts. a lot of smaller brands or boutiques use their social media channels and email marketing to run limited-time flash sales that apply to their entire site, and you can likely score an item you’ve been eyeing at a great discount simply by being on top of it! that’s how i got this tee for 50% off, and how i got my belt for 20% off! it’s also a great way to stay update on new arrivals, sales, and styling inspiration.
