american living for jcpenney: "10 ways to wear it"

sometimes you just have to kick off your heels and feel the grass in between your toes :)

top: american living, skirt: indian vintage, earrings: vintage, turquoise ring: from mexico, green ring: f21, shoes: charlotte russe, nail polish: opi shatter

i'm so excited to be one of the ten bloggers wearing this american living for jcpenney top today - it's made for summer with it's comfy denim fabric and puffed sleeves (btw - i laughed out loud when i looked at the photos because my outfit kind of reminded me of a quinceanera)! don't forget to check out all of the other fabulous bloggers to see how they styled the top: Adored Austin, Color Me Nana, Eat Sleep Wear, Love Lace Luxe, Profesh Style, See Jane Work Play Live, Trop Rouge, Viva Fashion Blog, and Wit & Whimsy.

btw - i'm heading out to cape cod this weekend! my best friend lives there and it's like my home away from home :) let me know if you have any recommendations for the cape cod/boston area!
