sandals: KORS by Michael Kors; tee: J. Crew; skirt: Club Monaco; bag: J. Crew; necklace: Whistles; sunnies: SEE
The genesis of this outfit began with the thought ‘EGADS…only a few more days to wear my beloved KORS by Michael Kors sandals’. They have been my summer go-to when a dose of FABULOUS has been needed but given their bareness, I just don’t think they can go past Labor Day. As much as I am looking forward to Fall in all its sophistication, the thought of bidding adieu to such a stalwart staple is giving me pangs of panic.
Today I made the most of the time I have left with these darlings by playing up their horizontal straps with the horizontal stripes of the skirt, paired with a boatneck tee which also emphasizes the horizontal line. My little owl necklace provides a touch of vertical balance. The result is an ensemble that has hints of Autumn but is still grounded in Summer. To my beloved shoes I can only say au revoir until next year…so sad.
As summer winds to a close, are there items that you are loath to relinquish or am I alone in my neurotic attachment?!
I love a striped skirt and that owl necklace is so cute! The shoes are so lovely, I would hate to pack them away too:)
Thank you…coming from a fellow stripe-lover that means a lot
You’re beautiful and so is your blog – amazing job! maybe we could follow each other?

Ohhhh, and be my guest and join my giveaway!!
I love the owl necklace as well, it brought a playfulness to your outfit. You are not alone in your neurotic attachment; I have a dress or two that really only work for the summer.
Saying goodbye is always a little sad but then just this morning I started thinking about next week and all the garments that are back in play with the start of fall…so exciting, I just don’t know where to start!

It’s hard not to be when there are so many great things about stripes from their playfulness to the way they flatter. Thanks for commenting!
