Oh, this Club Monaco striped top. If my summer wardrobe were to have an MVP, I think this sale rack find from Boston would have to be it. I've already worn it tucked into a ladylike midi skirt, with white eyelet and black accessories, with black skinny jeans...it's the quintessential, no-brainer, throw-on-and-go summer top, especially when paired with khaki shorts and espadrille sandals. Perfect for a weekend of Jazz Fest concert-going, evening strolling, and solstice adventuring.

Of course, the devil's in the details when it comes to keeping a basic outfit from feeling boring. I like the small pops of colour courtesy of the coral lip gloss, orange wristlet, and bright pedi, as well as the baby blue/cobalt mani and purple lashes. Shades and a statement necklace help too, and I like this half side-braid so much I'm itching to re-create it soon.

Another busy week is upon us, but somehow with the extended daylight hours, it doesn't feel so bad. Happy Monday, everyone!

  1. That striped top is certainly a winner! It's like a neutral as in it goes with everything, but it's striped so it's not ordinary! Love how you paired it with the shorts! So summery!

  2. Sounds to me like your striped top is the new "basic white tee". A must-have for sure, and now that I think of it, my wardrobe has several striped tops!
