When I saw “7 Fresh, New Ways To Wear An Oxford Shirt” on Refinery29, I thought I had nothing to learn about button downs. We all know that I wear them constantly and in what I thought was every way imaginable. Was it possible that I could be wearing them with even more? Bam! First slide: a sweatshirt over an oxford. Why didn’t I think of that? For my spin on this combination, I layered this cutoff sweatshirt over a sheer, pale pink oxford. I absolutely adore this look; it felt edgy but soft at the same time. 

The jeans were the result of a DIY project from a few weeks ago. I was inspired by Beth of B. Jones Style and her DIY Acne Pop Trash jeans, so I used her post as a guide to slashing and shredding this pair. I’m a bit of a DIY newbie; I mostly stick to DIY manicures, which isn’t much of a DIY at all, is it? I’m really just saying, “I painted my own nails”. It took me hours to slash up these jeans, and after one wash, they weren’t quite as I had hoped. This isn't easy! A bit more slashing and another wash should do the trick, but in the meantime, I decided to wear them. And, I actually got quite a few compliments on them…
