I was wearing this shirt last weekend and a lady said “I just bought that same shirt! Isn’t it the cutest cover-up??” I was in denial that she was talking to me because I wasn’t wearing a swimsuit cover-up, I was wearing a tunic. I agreed how cute the top was and then ran to my phone to look up to see if this was a tunic or a cover up. Surely I wasn’t wearing swimwear out like a real top… turns out it’s actually a tunic cover-up. So techincally we are both correct. Well played, Old Navy, well played.
All that to say, I’m wearing swim gear today with heels. Things I never thought I’d say.

Kendi, kendi, kendi, you silly girl. What ever are you going to do with all those clothes you have. You are a born consumer.
Bathing suit cover up for the short, cute tunic for the tall. 🙂
Love the tunic, simply gorgeous!
This is a magnificent day look. I love the easiness of the tunic. Basically anything could be a swimsuit coverup! If it covers, it’s a coverup! :] // itsCarmen.com ☼
We love how you turned a great structured tunic and created a cohesive outfit! The slightly distressed denim plays up the casual tons of your top and the structured bag a great wedge give it an elegant feel!
Sometimes who cares what it is if it looks good! Love the tunic on you!

Well, I love it! And growing up in Hawaii, people (including myself) would wear the oddest/greatest mixtures of swimwear and everyday clothing. It’s kind of my favorite style. 🙂
Your subj line cracked me up!! LOL. Another cute oufit by Kendi ftw! 🙂
love that tunic!

This is so funny because literally a minute ago, I was reading a blog that was titled “Summer Coverup” and I see…. photos of my dress…or what I thought was a dress! Hahahaha I’m a little sad now because now I’m confused. 🙂

hahaha awesome! it doesnt look like a cover up but it doesnt hurt anyone, right?
Love the wash of the jeans!!

hahah what a funny little story. I always switch an item back and forth between a tunic and cover-up. That top is fabulous, I think I might need to head to Old Navy this weekend!
Love it! How great to have such a fun and versatile top! You’re rockin’ the blue, girl!
I really like those jeans. You look beautiful!
I will never get tired of looking at the beautiful coloring on your photos. Love.

Oh well I love that top tunic! Well now you know that it can do double duty for the pool.

That cuff is beautiful and I totally understand the tunic/blouse predicament. And honestly that could be a coverup, but a little short for tall girls like us, huh? Especially after a wash.

I love this story!!! I was in Target yesterday trying on a white tunic & the thought crossed my mind if it was wearable without my bathing suit underneath!! I am on the hunt for versatile pieces to bring to Europe this summer. 3 weeks in 1 suitcase that weighs no more than 50 pounds is a major challenge for me!

I am short, so I experience tunic issues fairly often — sometimes shirts can easily be tunics or dresses on me. That said, swimwear or not, it’s a cute & versatile top.

That story made me laugh – but cover-up or not, you look so effortlessly classy and put together in this outfit!
I just bought the same top too – I’m using it as a tunic, but now I might have to use it as a cover up as well!

Well when you really think about it, all clothes are cover-ups. I mean that’s why we wear them – because we have to cover up our nakedness. Just an extra reason that it’s OK for you to wear this.

Hahaha, i adore the way you write! Nice outfit, and bonuspoints for the tunic because now you can wear it to the beach as well 😉
That’s such a cute tunic. (Cover up? Whatever!) Old Navy is really upping their game this summer.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy that ‘tunics’ are shirts on you too. Swimwear or not.
