Tie Waists and Twice the Stripes!

If you know only one thing about me it should be this…I ADORE STRIPES! Maybe adore isn’t strong enough, I’m all out obsessed with them. I’ve told this story a time or two before but at one point, I counted up how many black and white striped tops I had and the total came in at 12. Since then I’ve pared down my collection a bit but you’ll still find all varieties of striped pieces in my closet. I just can’t stop myself.

Since spring and stripes go hand in hand, I added a few new pieces to my collection lately – a pair of tie waist shorts and yes, another striped top. You can honestly never have too many!

SHORT CARDIGAN + WHITE TEE + STRIPED SHORTS + NEUTRAL SANDALS

Have you noticed that short cardigans are coming back? Yay, finally! They’re such a classic piece and the length is just right on everyone. I got this lightweight bright orange cardigan to pair up with these striped tie waist shorts but I’ve been wearing it even more with the navy and white striped top in my second outfit!

If you’re in the market for the perfect neutral crossbody bag, look no further than this one! The size is just right and so is the price.

This perfect fit open neck tee is awesome quality, I have one in every color.

Navy jewelry is big for spring – these beaded tassel earrings and navy stone bar necklace pair perfectly. The necklace is sold out online but you may be able to find it in store at J. Crew Factory.

STRIPED TOP + TIE WAIST PANTS + B RIGHT SANDALS

This outfit had me at nautical. When I spied the top, I just knew that it had to get paired up with something red. These red basket weave flats are perfect and so comfy too. I’ll be wearing them with shorts and dresses all summer!

This gold anchor necklace sealed the deal on the nautical theme!

Fitted tops are back! The past few years we’ve been filling our closets with loose and flowy but now that the pants silhouette has changed, fitted tops are making a comeback. Pair this striped one up with wide legged cropped pants.
