It’s Memorial Day Weekend!  It’s the start of summer and the beginning of many adventures to come.  This weekend, the big brother and his wife are coming into town, so I’ll be playing hostess and tour guide and taking them to all of my favorite spots around the city.  And with the weather warming up, this weekend’s outfit calls for accessories that will keep things cool (helloooo ombre pumps).  Happy MDW peeps!

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.
