An embroidered blouse to do a little sightseeing in Crete.
The top three trends right now: blue and white stripes, embroidery, and an off-the-shoulder feature. So when my pals at Scoobie stocked a number that combined all three, I snapped it up fast and slotted it for Greece. It was a cute + romantic piece to pair with cutoff shorts (I mean, c’mon, of course, I brought cutoffs on vacation), a bandana, and simple leather sandals for an evening wandering around Rethymnon, Crete.
Rethymnon is the combo of a beach town, with its boardwalk bustling with restaurants + bars, and a quaint historical Greek town, with stone streets, boutiques, and bougainvillea dripping from every overhead trellis. We spent a few days there while my boyfriend ran a marathon (up a mountain!) in the middle of our 2-week stay in Greece; I would go back in a heartbeat!
Shop the look:
This striped + embroidered blouse is summer 2017 personified. I love it! It will be so cute with all types of denim– full length, white, destroyed, boyfriend, denim skirts, shorts, etc. Scoobie stocks the best summer stuff, I swear.

What a quaint little town! Your OTS top is adorable! I love the embroidery detail and it looks so cute styled with the bandana!
