Fashion Find: The Perfect Denim Shirt

I'd been looking for the perfect denim button-up for months, so I was pretty excited to (finally) find it last weekend. As with most specific items I shop for, I came up with a list of criteria my ultimate denim shirt would possess:

• Since most of my jeans are darker washes, it had to be a light denim. That way, I can rock the double denim look without it being too matchy-matchy.
• I want this top to last me for a few years, so no embellishments or distressing that could easily date it.
• 100% cotton is a must for hot Florida summers.
• I needed to spend less than $50.
• Most importantly, it had to fit properly. I'm busty, so finding a button-up blouse that actually buttons up with no pulling or gaping can be a struggle.

Lo and behold, I found a top that met all that criteria at JCP of all places. The department store recently opened up Joe Fresh pop-up shops, which is where I found this shirt:

Joe Fresh Button-Front Denim Shirt

Best of all, it came in under budget at just $29. I can see this top quickly becoming one of my new favorite wardrobe staples!

Here's how I'm planning to wear my denim button-up this summer:

Casual: Necklace // Belt // Shorts // Sandals | Dressy: Dress // Earrings // Wedges

Hot Hue: Coral

Hat // Dress // Necklace // Lipstick // Top // Shorts // Flats // Bag

It's safe to say I'm obsessed with all things coral this season. Not only is this shade bright and bold, but it also has a super-girly vibe that's so perfect for spring! Plus, I love the fact that you don't have to limit yourself to just clothes and accessories-- coral-hued lipstick, nail polish and blush are all fab ways to try out this color trend.

Not sure which colors to pair with coral? Here are my favorites:

5 Under $50: Floral Blazers

I've wanted a trendy floral print blazer ever since I saw this little number from Prabal Gurung's collection for Target. Although I wasn't able to snag that one (the collab sold out fast!), I did find five similar floral print blazers that cost less than $50 apiece. Check 'em out below:
