Hey everyone!

It's been quite a while since my last outfit post, and I just wanted to share with you this simple, casual summer outfit.  This is a perfect outfit for just hanging out with some friends or running errands

I designed this outfit with the Black Center Flower Buckle from Belt Buckle Boutique as the centerpiece.  I decided to pair this belt with a pair of white jean shorts and a bright mint-colored v-neck t-shirt.  The white jean shorts are perfect for contrasting with the dark color of the belt and buckle.  Also, the rough texture of the jean shorts complement the texture and weathered appearance of the brown belt.  The mint shirt is really great for this casual summer outfit because it's such a fun and bright color.  I chose to do a twist on the usual green and brown earth tone combination by using the mint green color.  The belt really helps to separate the light colors of my shirt and shorts from each other.  Also, the flower buckle is perfect for adding a touch of femininity to this outfit.

Of course, the main accessory in this outfit is the belt and buckle.  So, to avoid competing with the belt and buckle, I chose more subdued pieces for my jewelry.  I put on a pair of gold and pearl flower studs to further the flower theme from the buckle.  Also, the studs work well with this outfit because the gold color coordinates beautifully with the mint-colored shirt.  I have on my silver butterfly pendant necklace that I always wear.  The necklace really adds to this outfit because the buckle is an antique silver color.  For my wrists, I chose a simple brown faux leather wrap bracelet with gold studs to imitate the look of the brown belt.  I finished off this outfit with my glittery gold and brown t-strap sandals.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!
