Today, I thought I’d share another one of my fail proof style formulas: stripes and florals.  I’ve been wearing this combo a lot lately (last seen here and here) and as you know, when I find something I love, I stick to it!  If you’ve been wanting to get into mixed prints, this is definitely the playful pairing to get you started.  Take any thin-striped top (like this) and pair with different floral prints for a variety of summer savvy looks.

I never really liked the phrase, “Working for the weekend,” but it’s kind of the story of my life right now.  My weeks are jam packed with work, events and errands, but when Friday finally rolls around, I make sure to savor every free moment.  So I thought I’d start a new series on the blog and ring in the weekend with casual/cool outfits that scream TGIF. Cheers!
