I got this shirt on sale for $9 and it’s only purpose was for my Pitch Perfect Halloween costume (I was a Barden Bella) because it was too big for daily wear. But I liked it enough that I took it to the tailor. It can be worn in many different ways so I’m glad I spent the extra money to have it taken in. I love the way it looks tied in the front.

The shorts remind me of one those puzzles that ask how many triangles you can count. There seem to be a lot… not that I’ve tried counting. And chambray wedges? I don’t think it gets any better than that!

Old Navy was trying to hide these wedges from me on a high shelf but I made Nick fish around until he found my size. They can’t hide pretty things from me that easily!

Classy casual is a thing right? Because this outfit feels classy to me, with the polka dots and pearls, but it’s also pretty casual with the lighter denim. Ohh, I like the sound of that; I should change my blog name to polka dots and pearls! Don’t steal that (and if it already exists, just kidding, I won’t steal it either!)

I’m really feeling these loafers because they’re the perfect combination of cute and comfortable. Too often during the colder months I struggle with what shoes to wear because I want to look put together but I also want warm feet. When my feet are cold, my entire body gets cold. These are the perfect solution.

What makes you feel classy, yet casual?

Today I’m linking up with Bri of Work Clothes, I Suppose for her Third-Thursday Thread series. It’s my first link up so go easy on me! This is my first interpretation of menswear. I think it’s because of the cardigan and loafers. And the button-front under the cardigan. What is it about layering button-fronts and loafers that automatically make you think “menswear”? I guess Chambray also says menswear to me because I think of rugged cowboys/ranch hands when I think of chambray.

I mean, these shoes are adorable! Especially with the gold dot details. I can see why both men and women would want to wear them. Hey, I’m all about freedom of gender expression.

By the way, I’m only slightly embarrassed to realize that this entire outfit is put together of Old Navy pieces. Only slightly.

What do you think of when you think “menswear”?
