i’m wearing: gap elephant print blouse (check your local store or here it is in a cute horse print!), jcrew shorts (similar), jessica simpson wedges, michael kors watch, marc jacobs aviators, various bracelets and my mixed metals ring c/o inpink.

i bought this shirt a few weeks ago while shopping for basic tee’s at the gap (btw, do you call it “gap” or “the gap”?). i saw this shirt in the dressing room on a go-back rack and i grabbed it. it was the last one in the store and the woman that worked there said they sold out like immediately which then of course made me panic and think i HAD to have it. but i did get it at 30% off so i think it was meant to be mine. =) then through instagram i found out that my friend meggy of chasing davies had the same shirt so we decided to both wear it on our blogs on the same day (see below)! don’t you just love seeing how other people put things together? i never would have thought to pair it with mustard and now i totally want to try it with my mustard skinnies!

    I would have nabbed this shirt, too!!! I love it with the crisp white shorts. Gorgeous!

    Also, I think I alternate between “Gap” and “the Gap” – never really paid attention but both feel normal rolling off the tongue. πŸ™‚

      So clearly I’m loosing my mind (or it’s just too early!), um…. you don’t have the shirt belted! Maybe it’s a sign to try it?!? Looking great either way πŸ™‚

    LOVING this shirt. I’m all about fun and quirky printed shirts lately and super bummed I missed out on this one especially since I love elephants. Maybe I’ll be lucky and find it this weekend. I agree-I wouldn’t have thought to pair it with mustard but it works. Loving it with the white shorts-perfect summer look.

    I love this top! Jen, I call it “the gap.” Does this age us?? Is it a dead giveaway that we call it the gap? In any case, I am glad you got it, this shirt I didn’t even see it! SO it must have been a hot buy.

    Cute shirt! I think I say just “Gap.” lol I really love the store but it seems wherever we move, the local store closes. πŸ™ Great clothes though, they last forever.

    I did a photo shoot for my blog recently with a fellow blogger where we styled graphic tees together, such a fan challenge – thats a very cute shirt for Gap, I don’t imagine them doing this kind of print for some reason. Definitely worth another look!
