I don’t own a plain white button-up. I know it’s a staple and all, but they just end up looking grungy so fast that I feel like it’s a waste of money. That said, I loved the details of this top so much I couldn’t resist. What can I say? I live on the edge. Plus, it was on clearance for $15. Also…it has pockets! How cool is that?!

We made a quick outing in the morning, so I took my new white shirt for a spin. Then I changed into my white bikini (again, the edge – I live there) and spent most of the day relaxing in the pool and working on my tan sunburn. Vacation…who’s jealous?

After Monday’s somewhat daring ensemble, I kept things simple and classic for Tuesday. When I was a kid, I remember thinking that high-waisted pants were for nerdy middle-aged women. But that’s probably because my middle school librarian always wore these hideous floral pants with an elastic waist up so high that her boobs literally hung over the top.

Now that I’m older and wiser (and nerdier), I realize that as long as you’re not too short-waisted and you keep your pants under your belly button, high-waisted pants actually make your legs look longer and your waist look smaller. From what I’ve learned from What Not to Wear, these are good things.

P.S. For those who don’t get the reference, the title of this post is from the movie version of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Shortly after the movie came out, I found this scarf and couldn’t resist, but unlike the girl in the movie, I didn’t have to max out 3 credit cards to get it (not because I’m rich, but because this scarf was under $20).
