It's not that we truly minded Taylor Swift [1]'s edgy fashion choices pre- and post-Met Gala [2], but we must admit: we're so happy to see her back to her old, retro-inspired ways. Ditching her choker necklaces [3], grunge dresses, and combat boots, Taylor emerged in Tennessee — with her rumored new boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston [4] — dressed in a sweet checkered minidress, peep-toe heels, shades, and a black Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag.

As fashion girls, we know it's fun to experiment with style, but when something isn't broke — and a specific style looks so freakin' good on you — it's best not to fix it. OK, Taylor? Keep scrolling to see the return of the singer's signature Summer style [5]. Then, shop what you need to steal her too-cute look.
