I am in love with this funky blue and white bird shirt. I found it a year ago at Goodwill – I came in looking for an ugly sweater for Ramsay and my’s annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party and I found this shirt just hanging by the exit. I didn’t even try it on – I just grabbed it, and it was a great decision.

I love the funky cut – it’s cropped, but is not an actual crop top, it has a high neck, and short sleeves, but the sleeves are even pulled up to the shoulders. So fun! I also love the bird print and the way the bright white contrasts with the dusty blue. Looking at this shirt makes me feel happy and free, like a bird!

To bring out the white birds, I paired this top with a white pencil skirt from Express and my plain white ballet flats from H&M. The proportions of the cropped shirt with the high-waisted skirt mean that no skin showed – perfect for work.

This outfit is so simple yet so fun and feminine.
