The Perfect Plaid

plaid boyfriend shirt (40% off!! I’m wearing an XS) // ripped white jeans, similar here
I love easy, comfortable plaid shirts in the summertime. This is more of a “dressed up” look, but I posted a more casual look with the same shirt yesterday on instagram. This plaid shirt is super soft – it runs a little bit big too and I actually love that. I’m wearing the XS but it’s still pretty roomy! You could even wear it as a bathing suit cover up, but I think my favorite look is paired with white shorts. Easy, effortless, and comfy too!
Today is my birthday and it’s also my last day at the beach! My family has a really fun day planned – starting with cinnamon rolls this morning, lots of beach time, and (hopefully) some ice cream cake later on 🙂 
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

  10. I am loving that plaid top! It really is the perfect plaid. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Also, ice cream cake is the best, I always request one for my birthday even though it's in October. How can you resist that crunchy goodness in the middle?!

  30. Sometimes those extra large shirts are the best! (and perfect for a summer BBQ so you can eat a little too much!) Great outfit!
