Yesterday, Neil and I took our first visit to the War Memorial in downtown Nashville. It's only about five miles from our house, and we felt silly never exploring it before now.. it's near the courthouse and a couple of other stately buildings, nestled just north of the craziness that is Broadway. Apparently Nashville was big on Greek Revival architecture in its day - with Belle Meade Plantation, the Parthenon, and several others - and I'm not complaining.
This all American Apparel outfit is what I wore for a chambray contest the company is doing among its workers.. fingers crossed, I hope I win some free stuff! But honestly, I love AA button ups. I never seem to find a good enough replica at thrift stores (while I find a million silk blouses, I'm bad at finding well tailored button ups), so I caved in and purchased this chambray shirt a few days back, partly for the contest. The high waisted linen shorts are also something I've been coveting for awhile.. they remind me of trousers Meryl Streep might wear in Out Of Africa, or maybe a late 70s Woody Allen movie. I have mine rolled up high, but the length is actually pretty long and kind of mom-ish in a cool way. Any ideas on how to transition them into fall wear? Would you wear linen in the fall? I really want to, even if it breaks some old fashioned rule.
I also wore the shorts for the HARRY POTTER PREMIERE last night! We arrived at the theatre around 9:30 for our midnight showing only to see a huge line of people waiting before us (and I thought we were crazy for coming so early). But we still got great seats and it was phenomenal. I've kind of grown up reading those books, so it was emotional. And so so good. So good that I forgot to eat any candy during the movie. And I may have cried. And then we got burgers at Steak n Shake and went to bed at 4am - a great ending to a perfect summer day.

The irony of this post is I'm now in bed fighting off a cold (or the flu maybe?), while it's all summery out. Oh well, I guess this gives me an excuse to eat ice cream and sleep all day.
Happy weekend!

These photos are really stunning! I always like your photos, but today especially. I just really love the outfit.
Do we need excuses to eat ice cream all day? :)
Feel better!
at least you got to go to the premiere before your sickness came! i went last night as well!
you look lovely. good luck with the contest...and feel better soon!
Such a sweet outfit, you always looks so good!
This outfit is so effortlessly beautiful...you're so effortlessly beautiful!
Eep! I'm going to see Harry Potter today and I am not ashamed to admit that I am super excited about it. I don't think I'll be wearing any shorts though, it is FAR too cold here at the moment. You look gorgeous!
I love how you've styled the shirt, it's very chic. And your hair - it's so gorgeous!! Very envious haha x
You look amazing as per usual! I hope you win the AA thing. I really don't want to watch Harry Potter yet because I don't it to be over over for me :(
Perfecto! Love the outfit.
I cried like a baby during certain scenes of the movie; after all, my favorite character in the series is Snape! I hope you feel better soon, but at least you made it to the midnight showing. And good luck in the contest, I love the blouse so much!
I love this! I'm always a fan of how you do American Apparel (I know you work there, but you dress a lot better than the neon and leggings brigade) ; D Good luck on the concert, and the midnight showing sounds wonderful!
Great pictures and a great outfit made up of classics! Your outfits are always so understatedly chic. I hope you feel better soon!
I am in love with your shirt, it's gorgeous! I also got a bit teary eyed myself in the theatre watching HP.
So pretty! Love your outfit and your pretty hair x
so simple and cute, i love it :)

Those shorts are lovely! They look like the perfect pair of summer shorts, but I could definitely see them transitioning into fall.
I Love the color of that beautiful velvet hair bow!
I have some high-waisted linen shorts very much like those! If I had a cute striped top like that to tie up with them, I would. You've inspired me to look for one so I can replicate this outfit because it's so super cute!
Also, how awesome was Harry Potter! I loved it so much!
I may have cried as well. :) Harry Potter was amazing, wasn't it !?!? Ahh I'm so glad other folks think so too!
You can definitely wear those in the fall. Just layer them over some warm wool tights.
