Do you remember me saying that I hate most button downs?
Yeah, I totally forgot to talk about popover alternatives. I love popovers. They’re soft, look like a button down, but fit like a blouse. And they’re so much lighter than button downs which is perfect for the summer months when you want some sun protection without overheating (If you follow me on SnapChat you saw me running from shade spot to shade spot as I walked to brunch in a tank top this weekend. Not fun).
I picked up this gauze stripe popover at Target and absolutely love it. It goes with everything and was under $25.
Top: Target Shorts: Anthropologie Shoes: J.Crew Factory Watch: Kate Spade Bag: Mulberry Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Earrings: J.Crew (similar) Ring: Amazon
An outfit perfect for running errands around town.
The amazing Ashley Nicole took these photos and I could not be more in love with how they turned out. She takes such crisp, clear, bright photos that remind me a lot of my wedding photographer. I’m so in love with her work and can’t sing her praises enough.
If you’re loving popovers too, I wanted to share three of my absolute favorites that are on great sales right now:
JCPenny Orange Strip Popover | LOFT Chambray Popover | Ann Taylor White Popover
I’m pretty sure this orange JCPenny popover needs to find its way into my closet. And with it being on sale for $20, I’m having a hard timing coming up with objections. 😉

Oh girl if I could I would be in sweatpants 99% of my life! haha They’re so comfy!!
I love popovers! I do have some button-downs but, when I wear them, I feel like I’m constantly adjusting them and pulling them down and popovers don’t do that!
Yes! Popovers are low maintenance which is key for me!
Popovers are the best; love the airy look and texture of this one. Gotta love Target! And… major bag envy here!

Thanks girly! I’m obsessed with my bag!
Omg I hate button-downs too! In theory, I like them (especially on other people!), but I never reach for them because I feel like they always look fussy and wrinkled on me! I’ve never tried a popover, though–I’ll have to take it into consideration!
Yes! They’re one of those things that look great on other people but not on me! I really like that popovers give me the look of a button down but look much better on me. (At least I think so! haha)
Okay, I have never heard the term “popover” but this is an absolutely adorable look on you! Love this top (and that bag). Target… I just love that place 🙂
Every time I hear popover I think of the pastry! haha How awesome would it be to eat a popover while wearing a popover? 😀
I love the bag and the shoes! Great summer outfit!
Thanks Miranda! I love a good bag and pretty shoes!
I’m totally crushing on your bag – it’s so cute!
Thanks Stacie! I love it so much!!
I love these type of blouses because, like you said, they are perfect for summer. The color on the one you are wearing goes so well with your hair. You look beautiful. 🙂
