cold shoulder

hi, friends!

unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably realized that off-the-shoulder tops are trending right now. if you don’t already have one, it’s time to snag one before the summer is over! this is a pretty, feminine trend that can be worn dozens of different ways dependent on your styling and accessories. you may remember last summer i styled an off-the-shoulder dress from reformation, and this season i snagged a cold shoulder blouse from them as well. they use excess fabrics to create on-trend pieces that are also sustainable; they use less water, contribute less waste, and are helping to reduce fashion’s carbon footprint. they also happen to be really fashion forward and beloved by industry insiders, so you know you’re getting a product with staying power.

i wanted to toughen up this feminine top with my accessories, so i chose some leather jewelry, my lace-up sandals, and some distressed jeans from zara. you can easily recreate this with a pair of distressed jeans of your own, and add a bandana or other necklace to show off your bare shoulders and décolletage to keep the femininity.

top – reformation; jeans – zara {sold out}; hat – ale by alessandra; shoes – free people; choker – frasier sterling; lariat – harper made; belt – vintage; sunglasses – ray-ban
