Who doesn’t love the cut-out trend? I am a HUGE fan. It’s such a fun and flirty way to spice up your wardrobe. And not to mention, they can be incredibly flattering. When I saw this cut-out shirt (Nordstrom Anniversary Sale FTW!!), I had to get it. It’s tasteful but still somewhat sexy-I was very hesitant to use the word “sexy” because that is NEVER how I want to look at work. But this cut-out shirt fits the bill. Plus, it’s light and airy enough to keep cool, or as cool as possible, during the hot summer months. It’s been ridiculous in Dallas y’all-100 degrees on repeat. So if you have to walk outside to your car, you will sweat. If you have to walk across the street for lunch, you will sweat. If you go outside for basically any reason, you will sweat. Less so in a shirt like this. I love this shirt. Definitely one of my favorite purchases from the #NSALE. Xo, AL
