Stripe Crazy

 I'll officially be back in the states 6 weeks from today and the knowledge of that has me thinking about weekends in the warm weather - maybe even a trip to the coast.  I have been loving stripes lately because it's so easy to dress them up from casual/preppy during the day to chic for a night with the addition of a few accessories.  I would wear this outfit for a dinner at the beach or a relaxed summer get together.  I love the distressed bermudas with the gold wedge heel - it gives the tomboy vibe of the shorts a little dose of glam.  I also love adding the layer of sparkle in the necklace on top of the striped tee because it also helps add an element of "dressiness" to the otherwise plain top - and the necklace is perfect because it is a complementary, but not overpowering color.  The bag and the sunglasses round out the outfit with a little more style and another layer of color.
