My monogram necklace is by far my most worn piece in my closet, but today I decided to switch up where I included the cute, personalized touch in my outfit with this darling top! 

Trendy and, for lack of a better word, preppy are two styles that I love but are typically very difficult to blend. Although, this top did it seamlessly! The off the shoulder neckline and tied sleeves are huge trends right now. Then the blue and white striped pattern balances perfectly between trendy and classic. It's a color combo that has become really popular this summer, but I'd argue that it has been a classic in any girl's closet for years now. Finally, to top it all off, the monogram is an unmistakably preppy detail! I never thought of wearing a monogram on my shirt before I saw this top, but I have to say I am loooving it! 

I decided to keep the balance of trendy and preppy throughout the rest of my outfit by pairing the top with simple scalloped shorts and then block heel sandals and tassel earrings to spice it up a bit! 

I've always tried to keep a balance of classic and trendy looks here on the blog, but I have to say this look is one of my favorites! It incorporates both sides of the spectrum, making a look that perfectly encompasses me and my style!
