Summer Casual Style Guide

A few months ago I looked at my overflowing drawer of oversized, sorority and fraternity college party tee shirts and thought to myself it was probably about time to stop reliving the glory days. When it comes to my casual style wardrobe that is. Going on four years post grad, it is not as socially acceptable to wear tee shirts quoting “in beer we trust” out in the real world, especially ones that are so oversized it is questionable if you are wearing shorts underneath.

Speaking of shorts, I also looked over at my shorts drawer to find two options: my beloved jeans shorts and a bunch of old school nike shorts with the underwear lining cut out. True story. The even more sad part about this story is that I was still rocking this ensemble in public. #fashionfauxpas to say the least!

We are much quicker to shell out money to buy trendy clothes but will wear the same ratty tee shirts and shorts for years. Why is that?! In an effort to step up my casual style, I found Southern Shirt Company to be a one stop shop for all things casual wear! My casual style just got an upgrade and my college tee shirts have officially been replaced by a much cuter and classier option. Hello adulthood, goodbye college glory days. I’m happy to report that comfy no longer means frumpy for this girl!

From the gym to weekend wear, Southern Shirt Company has covered all of my needs for cute, casual clothing that I can still sweat in. The bright colors and pajama like softness are what I love most about my new found casual style. If you are interested in any of these styles, use code INF-SHELBI15 for 15% off of your entire order.

Happy Monday friends! I took a step back this weekend from social media and boy did it feel good. I’m sure none of you noticed because before blogging I sure as heck wouldn’t have, but I felt compelled to let you all in on why! It seems silly to have to think of social media as part of your to-do list, but for me, sadly, it has become just that! I no longer post whenever the occasion arises, instead I try to post 2-3 times a day so I can keep you all up to date on what is currently on the blog and also give you a way to shop my outfit details. As always you can find all of my ready to shop outfit details here. That being said taking some time off from social media is needed for everyone especially when it starts to interfere with your day to day activities. This weekend I had friends in town and then spent yesterday with my family to celebrate Father’s Day with my sweet daddio so being social media free allowed me to spend my undivided time with the ones I love! But don’t worry I will be back in full force now 🙂

Now onto this cute outfit that I wore last weekend for the Pinterest workshop that I attended. Pinterest workshop you ask? It is just want it sounds like! I got to learn from the best, Meg (from Meg O. on the Go) as well as Channing and Michelle (from MWOA), about how to use Pinterest as a resource to drive traffic to your blog. I’m telling y’all it really is crazy how much stuff goes into all of this that I had NO idea about! If this is something that any of you are interested in and would be interested in seeing a blog post about it, please let me know!

My top is actually a tunic that I tied in the front for a more casual look. Tunics are great because they can be worn so many different ways. With pants, leggings, shorts or even as cover ups! Being that I am petite, it can be hard finding a tunic with the right length. You also have the struggle of wearing the right pants so it doesn’t end up looking like a dress. I actually wore the tunic untied for part of the workshop and then decided it looked even cuter tied in the front so I switched it up midday. I loved that it was still long in the back with a little “party” in the front. I added in my favorite summer wedges and pops of red to top off this minimalistic look. I will definitely be recreating this look come July 4th since the red, white and blue isn’t too overbearing and still super stylish! Be sure to check out Lilla P.’s website as they are having their July 4th sale and everything is 30% off!
