Formulaic

Wearing: Vineyard Vines dress c/o (similar, similar), Urban chambray (lighter wash), Rebecca Minkoff bag, Comme Des Garçons x Converse sneaks, vintage Sunglasses

As it's completely  obnoxiously obvious by now, stripes are my favorite print to wear. A stripe dress can become your best friend when it comes to weekend dressing. Having it be a classic item, it can be challenging to mix it up and put your own personal spin. I tend to go with an overall blue and white palette (with a pop of red... 'Murica). A dark wash chambray cinches the waist and adds texture which is most definitely a win-win. Tousled hair and minimal makeup finish of the formula for weekend dressing.

A few other combinations I love for a stripe number:

 denim vest + slip on sneaks

cinched waist + open trench + hi-tops

white blazer + bandanna style scarf + d'orsay flats

Cricket & Comebacks

 French Connection sweater c/o // Zara playsuit (similar) // Clare Vivier clutch // Chanel ballet flats (similar) // Catbird ring // Bauble Bar midi ring // Vintage sunglasses (similar)

Though I don't know much about the game of cricket, I can tell you one thing- they created a great sweater. As a person who used to over wear sweaters (circa 2007-2010), now I tend to only stick to classic sweaters borrowed from my brother's closet. I definitely surprised myself when I picked out this sweater from French Connection. Just like what they say about karma- what goes around comes around. Perhaps it's the same when it comes to clothing.

Instead of pairing the sweater a normal way (in my defense, I never said I was normal),  I wore my favorite playsuit underneath. Easy layering, I must say. Even though I will never play cricket, I will be happily sporting the sweater on the regular. Maybe sweaters are making a comeback in my wardrobe. I'll keep you posted on that.

Weekend Whites

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! In New England, the weather was cool and crisp with clear blue skies. It was the last summer weekend. I spent my weekend outside as much I as could soaking it all in. Even though it's after Labor Day, I'm wearing white. Because style rules are meant to be broken. So, don't put your whites away instead pair them with riding boots and chunky knits. I love dressing very classic in the Fall for some reason- check out my Pinterest for some inspo.
