Summer ’17 is about the statement off-the-shoulder blouse, and this cactus top is a gem.
I’m still more than a little floored it’s already Augustâ excuse me, Memorial Day was just a few weeks ago, right? No? Because fall is inching closer, I’m milking all I can out of my oh-so-summer pieces. This off-the-shoulder cactus top is just that (and it’s on sale right now for $25). I love the cute print and anything showing off the shoulders (with a ruffle, even) is right on trend. A lived-in pair of Free People shorts (shop this year’s version here) and a cool studded sandal (a Target score!) rounded out this very-August outfit.
Shop the look:
If a cactus off-the-shoulder top doesn’t sum up summer, I don’t really know what does. I’m wearing it super casually here, but this could easily be dressed up for date night. Think black skinny jeans or a denim skirt, maybe a taller pump or a wedge. Boom: dinner and movie, here you come.
A bit of exciting news: the Best of Kansas issue of 435 Magazine is out this month, and they’ve named me best style blogger. Too cool, right? KC pals, the issue is on stands now + you can read the blurb here.
Massive thank you to the team at 435 Magazine for this honor!

That cactus (cacti?) print top is adorable on you. So fun and summery! I can’t believe the summer is coming to an end either. I swear I just got back from vacation like 2 weeks ago (although my tan begs to differ).

I can’t believe how hot off-the-shoulder tops are! When I was in Barcelona and northern Italy, just about every girl seemed to be wearing one. You look so cute in yours. And I love sandals with an ankle strap!
