Sunday Stripes
– Oversized Striped Shirt Zara (New Season) similar HERE and HERE – Striped Culottes Zara (old) similar HERE and HERE – Embroidered Handbag Zara (old) similar HERE – Croc Ankle Booties Zara (old) similar HERE and HERE – Kendra Scott Necklace HERE Weekends are for running errands, being lazy and enjoying your surroundings. There’s no better way to do that than in two easy mis-matched separates that are loose and comfortable like today’s striped set. Breezy pieces are a must as the mornings cool off and the days remain well into the 80’s so loose button-ups and wide culottes have become a bit of a go-to combination.
