Apparently it is cool to tie a shirt on your waist again. I know this because I read lots of cool blogs and all the cool bloggers are casually slinging their chambrays around their middles (see Exhibits A and B). And when I see Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, I want to get army pants and flip flops.
So I tried tying my favorite chambray shirt around my waist with this outfit on Saturday (not really a business casual look), and it did NOT look right, you guys. I mean, what do you do with the collar? It made my butt look lumpy when I tucked it under, but if I didn’t tuck it under it looked equally ridiculous. Even from the front, I just looked like a mess. It was too much fabric for my frame, I think. I just looked like I had a denim cape on my ass – the saddest super hero ever.
Not one to admit defeat, I thought I might have better luck with a long-sleeved t-shirt. I was right! Less bulky, and more fun. It was even functional because I went to the grocery store later that day, and we all know grocery stores are minus a million degrees year-round. So this cool kid threw on her extra layer and stayed warm. See what I did there?

This literally made me LOL. “I just looked like I had a denim cape on my ass – the saddest super hero ever.” It’s all about making the trend work for you! 🙂
Cute outfit!

Good to know I’m not the only one considering packing a jacket when heading to the grocery store in the summer, because seriously. Minus. A million. Degrees.
I remember seeing that outfit on Kendi earlier this week and doing a double take because…is that…yes, that’s a DENIM JACKET tied around her waist. I’m not even sure how she managed that. It must have been a super lightweight denim? Anyway, you look totes cool.
