Floral Eyelet Button-Down

Before I get in to this top, I just want to preface this post by saying that I never know whether to call it a button-up or button-down. What do you guys call it?

I saw this sweet top at Forever 21 when I was shopping with my cousins in Georgia back in April and I was immediately drawn to it. The delicate eyelet detailing and sweet floral print were the perfect combination for me. It is cropped and has a boxy look to it and although you’d think that would mean it would have an oversized look, I actually sized up 2! I normally wear a small at Forever 21 – sometimes a medium, but this one is a large. If this is a large can you imagine how tiny the small must be?!

I paired the top with denim shorts for these photos and I wore the top to the beach over the weekend and wore it with just my bathing suit underneath and a navy blue skater skirt.
