Y’all, stop the presses! Two of my favorite trends combined into one, gingham print and the cold shoulder. Of course I am in love with this gingham cold shoulder top for summer.

I actually first saw this adorable top on my friend Carly, of the blog C. Style, and knew I had to have it. On trend and under $100, what’s not to love?

I actually accidentally bought a size bigger than I needed (honestly, I never know what size I am in Topshop), but wanted to wear it so badly that I decided to keep it. I’ve been tucking it in to shorts lately and that’s worked best.

Funnily, my fiancé, Rick, actually told me it looked like I was wearing a picnic table cloth the first time I wore it… all I could do was shrug that one off and laugh. Maybe I’ll surprise him and wear it to a summer picnic! Ha, ha!

I don’t typically wear wedges with shorts, but loved the look these classic cork wedges had to offer with a little extra color on my legs from the summer sun.

Cork is one of my favorites for summer because it goes with virtually anything and can be dressed both up and down. I’m really loving this low wedge pair too.

In case you’ve missed out on my love for cold shoulder tops this summer, checkout these past posts here, here and here.

P.S. – don’t forget to enter the amazing giveaway I’m hosting with fellow blogger gals. Enter here for a chance to win a $1225 Nordstrom gift card, just in time for their annual Anniversary Sale! Good luck!

    So glad I got to check out this look today because I totally love your top. Funny thing is next week on the blog I’ll be wearing a top that also came a size too big, lol. But I made it work, too. 🙂
