Junior Marcy Crouch mixes vintage and modern pieces in this easy and breezy look. The floral top adds cuteness, but its simple design maintains the casual tone of the outfit. The jacket contrasts the floral, creating a balance of hard and soft. The high waisted shorts gives the outfit a powerful vintage edge. Crouch keeps it easy and natural in everything she does in life, including her clothing. She never wears makeup and her style stays authentic.
