I got both of these pieces before it was even warm. Why haven’t I worn them? It all goes back to April and when I had Snapchat. One of my best friends lives in California and we were talking as I was planning outfits. I showed her this outfit and jokingly asked her if we would still be friends if I wore this. I mean, I knew it wasn’t my BEST outfit but I mean, it’s not atrocious, right? Well, she sent me back a “What the FRICK ARE YOU THINKING ALISSA?!” face and I quickly not the hint and forgot about it. That is, until Kansas became a disgusting wasteland with 85 percent humidity, a burning sun and general hell-like conditions. (Not that I am super familiar with hell conditions but I’m guessing Kansas right now is similar to what they would be like.)
Crop Top: TJ Maxx (almost exact) (similar)
Wedges: Target (exact)
Earrings: Hello Cheeseburger
So sorry best friend, but I wore this outfit and well, I lived. I’m going to be expecting a text from you that states the status of our relationship. Just remember that you get random things in the mail from me. Oh and you get my jewelry collection when I die.

It's great that you share outfit photos with you friends for opinions. It's a cute outfit and I am glad you wore it. I can't imagine 85% humidity – that just sounds awful and I would be in a/c all day.

I love this outfit- you look so cute! Light 'n breezy, perfect for summer.
True story- Coach totally tried to talk me out of buying over-the-knee boots back in 2007 before they were truly "back." He was like, "Aren't those for hookers?" WHAT DOES HE KNOW? Nothing, nothing. Know whenever I ask his fashion opinion, I pretty much do the opposite. ๐

Sweet. You must have too many clothes in your closet that you forget what you have! You need a EXCEL Spreadsheet to manage your wardrobe!

85% humidity certainly sounds like what I'd imagine hell to be like. I love the sweet scalloped detail on your shorts!

This outfit looks so fresh, and living in FL I can relate to hell temperatures that make you wish a bathing suit cover up was work appropriate attire, but all kidding aside I do love those shorts.

85% humidity? I'd be in workout gear – indoors. Bravo to you for getting dressed and coordinated at all in those conditions, hehe.
Ashley
Haha your friend is hilarious! I think when you get to 85% humidity you get to wear whatever you want! I have worn some things to work recently that are verging on the line of inappropriate but I'm pretty sure no one cares because it's so freaking hot outside!!
