Since today is the last day of August, I am showing you all the uniform I’ve been living in when not at work. Shorts, detailed top and a belt. I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to be appropriate for me to wear denim cut off shorts (unless I decide to join the Never Nudes) so I’ve been taking advantage for now and wearing mine around all summer long. They’re too comfortable to give up!
J.Crew top (old, but love this one)
7 for all Mankind shorts
Aritzia belt (super versatile belt here)
Hermes bag (similar here)
Banana Republic sandals (similar at a great price)
Do you all have fun Labor Day plans? We have a few separate friends all coming into town and I’ve also been wanting to see the movie The Queen of Versailles. I first read about the Siegels in a Wall Street Journal article here, detailing their journey from building the largest and one of the most extravagant houses in the United States, to having to sell it off still unfinished to pay the bills. Fascinating! Unfortunately it’s a very limited release so I might just wait until it hits DVD. Have any of you seen this movie yet?
Have a great holiday!
We are uniform twins! That`s just what I have been wearing all summer long. I only changed my clothes when washing day came around but other than that…
Anyways, you look great as always! I love the fact that the sleeves of your top are rolled up. I always do this to everything I wear on top. If you look at the shirts in my closet you will spot a bunch of rolled up sleeves. Just not so nice if you suddenly need them straight again – full length – and you need to iron them first.
I hear you on the ironing, Anna!
I love how you call it your uniform Katherine! I’m so jealous that you’ve had the weather to be able to wear denim cut offs all the time, we have had the rainiest summer in the last 100 years here in the UK!!
Have a fab weekend Hun xoxo

I’ve never hear of that movie, but it looks so interesting! Will definitely have to make a note to try and watch that.
xo, alison*elle
lovely uniform! unfortunately we’re socked in with fog here so no shorts for me.
The bag makes the whole outfit !
Hey! That’s my uniform for a couple of weeks when it was warm enough. Gah….I just love that Kelly of yours!
I wear a similar uniform on the weekends, minus the shorts. It has been too cold here. I love your Kelly too!
I absolutely love your pearl embellished J.Crew top!

Oh I love this ensemble. Its so laid back and naturally chic. Especially love the top and shoes:D!
I have not seen this movie… Love this look! And the bag is gorgeous!
I really like the shorts – I’ve just started getting in to denim shorts and the summer that we didn’t have is already over. Drat.
Love your bag!
I heard about this movie on NPR and have wanted to see it ever since. Hoping it’s available online as some point.
Totally! I’ll let you know if I find it online somewhere
i love the tobias reference! you rock those shorts…
Thanks Nancy!! Glad to know there are other AD fans out there reading
I can’t wait for the supposed AD movie to come out… I also just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy reading and following your blog!
Thank you Nancy!
Love the casual look. Denim shorts is always a favorite.:)
Love how casual yet chic this look is!
Yup. I wore (and I’m still wearing!) a lot of cutoffs this summer, too. I like the balance you’ve got here: shorts with with longer sleeves on top.
I always feel like your shorts are too small. They’re cutting you off at the largest part of your leg, which isn’t very flattering. I like cutoffs when legs are miles long. Sorry.
Hi emmi, thanks for your frank feedback and I do feel the same way sometimes, I wish I had longer legs (And was taller in general!). That being said it gets really hot here so I just try and wear what is comfortable. But yes..another wish for mile long legs here!
Love those BR sandals. Really cute!
You look great in those shorts!!

This has me in the mood for denim shorts too (or shorts in general) before summer’s up!
Saw this and thought of you. A little over the top, a little cool.

Thank you Jan! I love it, I wish it was smaller (or bigger and on a tshirt!).
