Inspired: J.Crew {ikat + shorts}

As I was perusing the latest J.Crew catalog, I noticed this outfit and wanted to create my own version. I just love the pattern and unexpected color combination

{j.crew - $312.50}

Here is how I would do it for less:

Geometric & Jersey Top - Forever 21 - $24.80
Lightweight 3/4-Sleeve Cardigan - Old Navy - $24.94
Twilight Pants - Roxy - $17.32 (Orig. $49.50)
Faux-Leather O-Ring Sandals - Old Navy - $19.94
Wide Brim Hat - Forever 21 - $12.80
total: $99.80

I chose to use pants because I am not a short shorts kind of girl, but if you are interested in some seafoam green shorts, I think these are a good option. I really like the pattern and color of the top I chose but I found two other top options that could also work really well with the outfit. {one + two}

So what do you think? Is this something you would wear? Leave your thoughts below.
