Today I’m playing with geometric shapes and patterns. I love the geometric eyelet cutouts on this J.Crew top combined with the pastel hue, which softens the look. I paired it with scalloped hem shorts to go along with the scalloped edges of the shirt. I finished the look with gold-toned accessories including a geometric cutout cuff bracelet. The intricate cutouts and patterns keep things interesting and elevate this otherwise simple t-shirt and shorts summer look.
This is the last week of school for my girls and the official start of summer. Hoping for a summer as long as the winter we had.
Have a great week everyone!

Cynthia this is beautiful! So feminine and chic, perfect for summer. Congratulations on the features. They are well deserved. Speaking of features, can I use this post to highlight during our Spring Must Haves on Wednesday? It will be out last week. Since shorts were last week, we are featuring a few this week.

This is so pretty Cynthia! Love the details you chose with the cut-outs on the top and the scallop trim on the shorts. Plus, I’m thinking the cut-outs would provide some nice ventilation for summer heat. haha. 🙂

This is definitely one of my favorite outfits of the week. It’s so feminine, simple, and clean. Scalloped edges are definitely one of my favorite trends of the season because there is something that is still subtle and timeless about it. And I wish that blouse was still available!
Wow i love this look! those shorts are really amazing. this is so feminine and perfect for summer!
