Ever since I've been old enough to dress myself I feel like my go-to outfit has always been some variation of a v-neck tee paired with jeans and sandals. In middle school it was the Aeropostale graphic tees (anyone else??), in high school I gravitated towards basic, fitted ones, and recently, I've been wearing loose, oversized tees, like this pretty pink one, nonstop. 

This Free People tee was an unbelievable find at T.J. Maxx, and it would be impossible to try to tell y'all how many times I've worn it since that fated day. The light pink has been perfect to wear all summer long, and with blush falling into this fall's major trends, it will be super easy to transition into the coming months as well. I've also tucked this top into a denim skirt a couple times, and I absolutely loved the way that looked for summer, very girly and summery! 

But I really want to tell y'all about THESE SHOES! I had been lusting over the Steve Madden version all spring and summer long, not willing to pay the $70 for a pair of sandals, but one night I was scrolling through Target's new arrivals online when I found an IDENTICAL pair for less than $25! I honestly don't know how they're still in stock because they're the cutest and comfiest shoe ever.

Now before I sign off for the day I thought it'd be fun to share with y'all this throwback picture of me wearing my favorite Aeropostale tee from when I was in 8th grade, and please excuse the blurriness, this was before everyone started taking those ~perfect~ pictures for the 'gram!
