Menu bar with outside border - css

Question

I want to make this menu bar. I already managed to do the ghost buttons, but how can I make this outline border for the menu:

This is my code: https://jsfiddle.net/ivailo/3q6ej7cc/
.button {
position:relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em 1em;
font-size: 18px;
font-family: Arial, 'Arial Unicode MS', Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
border: 1px solid rgba(122, 112, 82, 0.2);
color: #877B5A;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
outline: none ;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 7px;
}
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
color #fffff;
display: block;
content: '';
width: 15em;
height: 15em;
border-radius: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transition: all 0s;
}
.button:hover::after {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 10em rgba(242, 189, 99,.2);
}
.button:hover {
color: #000000;

Check the code below, I enclosed the 2 buttons with a div and styled it to act as a border :-)
.button {
position:relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em 1em;
font-size: 18px;
font-family: Arial, 'Arial Unicode MS', Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
border: 1px solid rgba(122, 112, 82, 0.2);
color: #877B5A;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
outline: none ;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 7px;
}
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
color #fffff;
display: block;
content: '';
width: 15em;
height: 15em;
border-radius: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transition: all 0s;
}
.button:hover::after {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 10em rgba(242, 189, 99,.2);
}
.button:hover {
color: #000000;
}
.button1 {
position:relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em 1em;
font-size: 18px;
font-family: Arial, 'Arial Unicode MS', Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
border: 1px solid rgba(122, 112, 82, 0.2);
color: #877B5A;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
outline: none ;
overflow: hidden;
border-radius: 7px;
}
.button1::after {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
z-index: -1;
display: block;
content: '';
width: 15em;
height: 15em;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
transition: all 0s;
}
.button1:hover::after {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 10em rgba(242, 189, 99,.2);
}
.button1:hover {
color: #000000;
}
.theborder {
text-align : center;
width: 600px;
padding: 20px 25px;
}
.theborder:before, .theborder:after {
content: "";
height: 1px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(160,160,160,1) 50%,rgba(0,0,0,0) 100%);
display: block;
margin : 10px 0px;
}
<div class="theborder">
<a class="button" href="#"> Button </a>
<a class="button1" href="#"> Button1 </a>
</div>
