OFF THE SHOULDER BOW TIE TOP AND PEEP TOE BOOTIES

TOP BLVD, SIMILAR | DENIM JOE'S JEANS | BOOTIES STEVE MADDEN
BRACELETS DAVID YURMAN X & CABLE | RING DAVID YURMAN

Seeing as it's not quite autumn weather yet, I'm squeezing extra wear out of as much of my "summer wardrobe" as possible - this outfit is a perfect example of that and better yet, it's super transitional as the days cool off.

It's no secret that I have broad shoulders. Growing up, people used to say, "with shoulders like that, you must be a swimmer..." I was. I never really paid much attention to it until I took my senior portrait in college and realized that there were certain clothing styles that were not flattering. I have met plenty of people who are not self conscious about their shoulders....I say, hats off to you! Anyway, the "OTS" (off-the-shoulder) trend is one that I have been weary about. I used to think about how cute every other girl looked wearing these summery tops until my mom told me, "just try one on, and see how it goes." So, I did. And, I loved it! I've linked a few different styles above and below for you. I've also linked the bra that I wear with this top. 

Oh Paige Denim, how I adore thee. This specific pair is called the Legacy. Stretchy, comfortable for all day wear, and definitely worth the money because they are durable through the washing machine without fading instantly! Y'all know I loved a good pair of distressed denim. 

These Steve Madden peep toe booties have been on constant repeat since I purchased them. I wear them with jeans, shorts, and dresses. I am always getting compliments on them and I highly recommend them for two reasons. 1. Booties are a trend that will not be fading any time soon - they're a great transitional piece. 2. I can wear them all day and my feet do not hate me after. I work in a corporate buying office which means I am running around ten to twelve hours a day, every day. I only wear shoes that I am comfortable in (okay, and that are cute, too!) These fit the bill and right now, they are....drum roll please....ON SALE! 
Is there a fashion trend that you were skeptical to try? Did you end up trying it and loving it?  Let me know! I'd love to hear about it in an email or in the comments, below. As always, thank you for stopping by!
