This weekend, Tracy and I ventured down to Prospect Park for a major change of scenery.  And while Central Park makes for a quick escape from the urban life, this Brooklyn gem feels like a completely different continent.  Wide open lawns, tree-covered paths, and far less tourists — it’s a trek definitely work making.

I’m usually all about my mixed prints, but today, I decided to pile on a single print: stripes.  The fundamentals are the same: make sure that the prints are similar in color (here, navy and white) and proportion.  It’s a fresh take on one of my favorite ways to dress up prints — a little more streamlined, but still just as fun.  What do you think of the stripes on stripes action?

Remember when I told you that I have a J.Crew problem?  Well, that addiction extends into J.Crew Factory and more recently, Crew Cuts.  Spotted from across the outlet store, in the girls’ section, was the most adorable skirt in a polka dot print.  A similar skirt had recently sold out in adult sizes, so I knew I had to make it work.  I had no shame squeezing into a skirt meant for a fourteen year old, but I did away with a trim white tulle that was peeking out from underneath.  The final result: a spring skirt that I know I will be getting plenty of wear this season!
