Outfit of the Day: Shopping My Closet (If I Must.)

I haven't really bought any new summer clothes except for sandals and I'm starting to feel it. I should just hit up LOFT soon or something because it's getting real sad up in my closet. Today's outfit is mostly really old stuff that I hadn't worn in a while and I was surprised it all still fit! (Surprised and relieved.) Anyway, here is what I have going on: 

 Not bad! I am actually pretty happy with this. I'm wearing an old Banana Republic tank that's made of some kind of slub cotton/linen blend and it's nice because it's longer in the back and has a light, loose swing. This one by Graham and Spencer is a more expensive version but, honestly, this one from The Gap looks pretty good too. For something slightly dressier, I like this linen blend chevron tank from BR.

My pants are not from Target for once! I pulled out an old pair of skinny utility pants from J.Crew and was delighted that I could still get them buttoned. I love a washed olive green as a neutral and luckily J.Crew has a few good options - this cargo toothpick style and a non-cargo slim chino in the same color. There's also this pair at Nordstrom that are less expensive and look really similar to mine. 

Look, I know my Universal Thread denim jacket is getting a lot of screen time but I literally wear it 3-4 times a week. It's so good that I am contemplating buying a backup. I'm also contemplating this Madewell denim jacket because those copper buttons, y'all. I am really into the copper buttons. I also love this darker wash version and holy crap someone stop me. Look, If you don't have a denim jacket I suggest you start with the one from Target. It's a great entry-level jacket.

Speaking of Target, I basically planned my whole outfit around this chunk of labradorite goodness which is also from the Universal Thread line. Apparently it's out of stock online but you can still find it in stores. There's also a mini version that is still available online. 

I haven't used my backpack lately so I busted it out and then felt dumb for not using it. It's so nice! It's by Aimee Kestenberg and Marianne found it at TJ Maxx a while back. There's one with a gold zipper at Off 5th and also one in a beautiful dove grey. There's also a snakeskin version on deep clearance at Lord and Taylor! It's weird, but I don't hate it.

I love my silver Birkenstock Arizonas so much, you guys. They make me happy every time I look at them. Again, if you have been considering them, just do it. They're worth every comfortable, shiny penny.

PS. Just a head's up that Aerie is doing their 10 pairs of undies for $35 deal which ends today! It includes all styles including my favorite, the seamless cutout boybrief.
