Bow Back Top for Spring

March 27, 2017

I don’t want to be unfair to all my other shirts, but thisย bow back top is the best shirt ever. Like you need to buy it now. Button front AND bow back in one top?!ย I mean, come on. Plus, it is only $58. It pairs well with these fun paisley shorts. I’ll be honest, I am not usually a shorts wearer. While I have noย basis of rational thought for this, I just don’t feel as comfortable in them as I do in jeans or dresses/skirts. I have to admit, for a pair of shorts these fit really well and have a flattering cut. Shorts do have their place in a wardrobe too, especially in a climate like Oklahoma with 100+ degree summers. Ugh.

I was so excited when Banana Republic asked me to participate in their “what movesย us” campaign. To be honest, so many things move me. My faith, my precious little family in Russ and Ivy Jean and my broader family, and my community of friends here in Tulsa are of course the key aspects in my life that move me. I’m also motivated my being healthy.

Beyond that getting to be creative really moves me, and a lot of that creativity comes out in fashion for me personally. I love getting to dress differently depending on my mood or the day and try different styles of clothing. I love that I have gotten to connect with amazing women through this blog (who would have guessed?!). Women and feminism have had a big presence in the media lately, and I just feel so dang proud to be a woman. YOU all move me. You are brave, and strong, and talented, and creative, and intelligent, and you wear so many hats while juggling so many things. You are inspiring. I feel incredibly fortunate to get to have this little space on the internet, and it moves and motivates me everyday to be the best version of myself. I’d love to know what moves you?

    What a cute outfit, Amy! I love that tank, it’s super cute with the banker stripes and bow details on the back! I love that you can dress it up with a blazer on top for the office and dress it down as you’ve done here with a pair of shorts. Speaking of, I love the blue paisley print, it creates a nice pattern mix with the stripes and perfect for spring! I loved reading what moves you, most of which moves me too. My faith and family are the biggest motivations for me and of course connecting with amazing and inspiring women like YOU everyday! Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

    Ok, I love everything about this outfit, from your perfect print mixing to those adorable mules! This look has me SO ready for warm weather! You should wear shorts more often because they look fantastic on you.

    How funny that you don’t want to be unfair to your other shirts, Amy ๐Ÿ™‚
    But I tend to think this way on every new piece I get—it’s my favorite for the moment!
    I really love how you mixed your prints in this outfit. I’m trying to remember to try it more and more because it looks so sophisticated to me!! Of course, I’m just a little jealous that you can be wearing shorts right now!! LOL
