Denim Shorts and Button Up Tanks

My five year blogaversary is coming up at the end of the week. I'll have a special post on Monday to celebrate the milestone and say thank you. In the meantime, since I was lucky enough to win this beautiful case of makeup, I have a mini giveaway over on youtube!


I've shown some ways to wear button ups (or button downs or sleeveless shirts or button detail tanks etc) in spring with cardigans and jeans before, but below I've worn them for warmer weather and paired them with denim shorts.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Kimono: Kmart striped maxi cardigan

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tank: Jeanswest Helene sleeveless textured shirt in berry
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (currently on sale, 40% off!)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in navy!)
Nail Polish: OPI Koala Bear-y

Why I wore it:

While I like the colours and the individual pieces of this outfit, I really wasn't too happy with it when I put it all together. The tank is quite long so I should have tucked it in.  I felt it looked a little off with the length of the shorts. Usually I love wearing this top, and I really like the pink with the purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB Tote bag.

I had just put this on quickly when I was running late in the morning, if I'd had more time I might have tried the tank tucked in.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, striped duster, pink button up tank, denim shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB Tote bag.

Other ways to wear: striped duster in winter, pink button up tank and pencil skirt, denim shorts and green tank, purple Mini MAB Tote bag and a neutral outfit.

Why I wore it:

This was a pre-Christmas rushing around for last minute pressies and a hair cut for toddler T. Simple and easy outfit of a printed top and plain shorts, perfect for a hot day. Unlike the first outfit above, I really liked wearing this combination. I felt much more comfortable.

When I last wore these sandals I was suffering from really bad swollen feet in my third trimester, over 10 months ago. This time around they were much more comfortable as I carried baby around in his Ergo!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), printed tank, OneTeaspoon shorts, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed tank and leopard print scarf, denim jacket and OneTeaspoon shorts, studded sandals and a maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and skinny jeans.
