Long Striped Dress with a Charcoal Cardigan

A fun day with the kids in the park! This outfit proves that you can be comfortable, yet stylish, even when you’re out with the kids. The stripe drawstring maxi dress I’m wearing in the pictures was a steal – only $9.99 on sale (normal price is $64.95). Currently, you can get it online for $16! When I saw it at the store, I knew that I couldn’t leave it behind. It quickly has become one of my favorite dresses!

The cardigan is very lightweight so I put it on because it was one of those days where you don’t know if it’s going to be warm or kinda cool. It warmed up later in the day so I took it.  Either way, you have to admit that it does complement the dress very nicely!

I like how the dress has the cut outs on both sides. Sometimes a long dress might make you too hot on a really warm day. Because of the cut outs here, I didn’t feel that way at all. And since it was a casual day, I decided to wear simple black flip flops.

White and Blue Striped Pencil Skirt with a White Tank Top

This is the first time I decided to put on a pencil skirt, and because I wanted it to have its moment, I paired it with a simple white tank top to let the skirt take its cake! On the other hand, when you think about it, it wouldn’t go with anything other than solid white or blue top, unless you’re more of a risk taker and love to mix prints and colors.

This Coach purse is my go to bag every summer! Because I wear lots of whites, tans and, in general, light colors, all my red and black purses always go into hibernation mode and wait until cooler weather comes, when I can wear them with the darker coats I have.

Striped pencil skirt and bracelets

I decided to put on a lighter tone of blue bracelet so it wasn’t too matchy matchy and I always have to wear either some gold or silver bracelets so I added this two-tone one (mix of gold and silver) as well. Gold goes perfectly with my necklace and silver looks good with cool white and blue.

This gold necklace is not too showy, but rather extremely elegant and classy. Regardless of if you want a more sophisticated look, or a more casual one, it goes perfectly.

I didn’t want to wear just a simple striped black and white skirt today, so I chose this beautiful yellow tank top that is not simple at all. Not only is it a really pretty tone of yellow, but its embroidery is absolutely stunning. Here is a better view of the tank top:

Little crinkled straps of fabric that form something that resembles little flowers. All in all, it looks really lovely and made this seemingly simple tank top to stand out.

These sandals are my go to shoes this summer, as they pretty much go with everything I put on and are very comfortable.

These gold bracelets go beautifully with the yellow tank top. They also accentuate your summer glow and make you look very classy!
