Knit Sweater & Boyfriend Shorts

Ashley Robertson in Sweater and Boyfriend Shorts

As we transition into warmer weather, I can’t help but reach for a few Summer favorites like these boyfriend shorts and lace up sandals. I recently picked up the Open Knit Sweater from Topshop, and quickly fell in love with the versatility of this simple piece. I’ve always been a fan of wearing sweaters with shorts in the early stages of Summer. It makes for a relaxed, yet put-together outfit (which is always my favorite). 

These lace up wedges immediately caught my eye. And to be honest, I was a little intimidated by the heel height! However, after walking around in them, I realized they are pretty comfortable and not as bad as they look. I’ve actually worn these several times over the past 2 weeks and people will stop and ask where I got these (that’s always a good sign, right?).  If you are looking for something more practical for day to day, I also love these Lace Up Platforms or these Lace Up Flats from Nordstrom.

Thanks for reading! xx Ashley
