I always have an extra pep in my step on Friday morning.  With the weekend just hours away, the possibilities for adventure are endless.  Tomorrow, the bf, the pup and I are picking a train and a destination and going on a little spontaneous day trip.  This weekend wear is inspired by our impromptu day date.  So relax, say yes and hopefully, you’ll have a little unexpected excursion yourself!

Still on a floral kick from yesterday, I fell in love with this floral dress for more reasons than one.  Chic floral print?  Check.  The most darling scalloped edges?  Check.  And oh hey, did you see the back cutout on this beauty?  Check!  Put all of these delightful details together and you’ve got an easy summer outfit that’s playful with a side of sophistication.

I have good and bad news.  The bad news is that this is the last round of my style collaboration with Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling.  The good news?  We’re showing you how to tackle one of my favorite trends: mixing florals and stripes!

I’ve been rocking this look so much this spring (last seen here and here) that I almost ran out of pieces to pair!  But fret not, I pulled this gorgeous floral midi skirt from storage and threw it on with my favorite summer blouse.  I raved about this style formula a few weeks ago and I stick by my words: pairing florals and stripes is the easiest and chicest way to mix prints.

See how Amanda, Lynzy and Caitlin mixed florals and stripes and try it for yourself!
