Tank: American Eagle || Flannel Shirt: Urban Outfitters (old, shop similar) || Shorts: American Eagle || Sandals: Madewell
If you girls are like me, once September hits you're eager to start wearing the latest fall trends. The only problem is it's still 85 degrees outside. What the heck?! I mean, it's definitely still shorts weather. I'm solving the problem by making subtle changes to my wardrobe this week as I transition from summer to fall. I think this 90's grunge look is a good example (aka one of favorite trends this year). That's right ladies, 90's grunge is back in a big way! And that includes tying your flannel shirt around your waist. (Who is picturing Clueless right now!?) At first I thought I wasn't cool enough to pull this off and that I needed to be in a Nirvana cover band or something! My husband might have even laughed at me when I was trying to rock this last summer. But like wild fire, it's caught on and you're seeing this trend all over the place (and now my husband thinks it's pretty cute!) So for any of you who are hesitant, I encourage you to give it a try! You can do it!
The plaid adds a touch of fall while the tank top and shorts keeps you from being a sweaty mess before the cool weather hits. And bonus- the shirt around your waist is very flattering because it covers you up in all the right places. Opt for lighter distressed denim shorts (or jeans when the temperatures drop) to get the full 90's effect (if they're higher waisted, even better). Now I just really need some Birkenstocks! If only I'd held onto mine from middle school. I would like to point out, however, that this particular flannel shirt is a few years old (I'm sure you all have one of these in your closets, even if it doesn't fit...it doesn't matter because the shirt is around your waist!). So give yourself a high five if you just created a new look out of old clothes!
