Lani striped top, American Apparel tulip skirt, 80%20 Rina boots, Marc Jacobs shades, Marc by Marc Jacobs purse

I know that hardly a week goes by without me posting something having to do with stripes, but what can I say – I’m an addict. I got this top as a birthday gift and while my first inclination was to wear it untucked with denim cutoffs and flowy maxi skirts, I decided to mix it up a bit and pair it with a high-waisted mini. I have to say, though – the whole loose-vented-sleeves thing is way more effective in keeping cool when not tucked in, so I may be reverting soon.
