Wide-leg jeans with a raw hem and a pretty smocked floral blouse.

It’s well established around these parts that I’m a big fan of smocking. Anything that allows me to forgo a bra in the summertime is my kind of situation, so I was all in on this smocked floral blouse. Lightweight cotton, cute ditzy floral, flouncy sleeves– the best features of a summer blouse.
When I shot this look, we were enjoying a temporary reprieve from the KC heat, so I opted for wide-leg jeans rather than classic denim cutoffs. I love the super light wash and busted knees on this pair from KanCan; they were a little long on me (5’5, imagine that) so I chopped off the bottoms and fashioned a raw hem for some added edge.
Finishing touch: a white thong heeled sandal because everything 2000’s is in again. I scored these for under $30 and they’re the perfect summer sandal. I can’t wait to wear them with shorts and dresses next. (They also come in hot pink and I had to snap those up, too.)

Ashley, your taste in fashion is exquisite. I admire and envy it. I want to dress like you when I grow up. 🙂
You are so sweet! 🙂
Oh I love this look with the smocked top I too am a fan of smocked cuts for summer as it is so hot or should I say HUMID. NY is always between 60-85% humidity with the bulk of the summer between 70-75%. Do you know what the humidity level is in Paris? 20%! But seriously this is a great look and those shoes are a great deal!

Ugh- I have definitely heard about the NYC humidity! KC is super humid, too- it can really mess up your patio plans because you end up so uncomfortably hot and sweaty. Paris is onto something… haha. Thanks for stopping by, Allie!
I adore this smocked blouse Ashley! It looks great with the distressed jeans. Stay cool my friend!

Your beautiful smile added a special something to this gorgeous outfit, you are amazing as always and I loved your sunglasses
You’re too kind, my friend! Thank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the top – it’s such a cute floral top!
Thanks, Biana! 🙂
Well, this is sweet as can be! I love the print!
Thank you, babe! Hope you’re having a great week!

Yes! This top will come in handy in September as we start to inch toward fall- pop a leather jacket over the top when it cools down and you’re set!
Genial look te mando un beso.
Thank you!
Did someone say floral? I love florals in almost any form…add in some smocking and I’m sold!! You are stunning as always, Ashley! But, my goodness, your hosta look fabulous…mine all died over the winter. I can’t wait to plant some at the new house!

I’m so here for the smocking! And I’m so sorry to hear about your hostas- these have been with me 10+ years and are my babies! We actually dug ’em up from our old house and replanted when we moved to the current house because I couldn’t bear to leave them behind!
How cute are these jeans and top together? Love this summer look!
I hope you are having a great week so far!

You look great. Love the blouse.
It’s funny how we all have different preferences: I do not like smocking on myself but find it cute on others. Love the contrast of the sweetness of the top with the edgy jeans.
