A striped tee and a pair of skinny trousers in classic khaki is a go-to office outfit for me. Best for mornings when I’m not feeling particularly daring (or awake, let’s get real), so I grab something foolproof.
You can’t go wrong with cobalt blue stripes, and this Zara tee gets a lot of play in my wardrobe. Leather ballet flats in that same shade of bright blue give a nod to the matchy-matchy, broken up by skinny trousers from The Limited’s Exact Stretch line. (These babies stay skinny all day; no bagging or drooping.) A gold tassel necklace and a leather wrap watch checked the accessories box, and a neon coral lip helped camouflage the fact that I would’ve rather been back in bed.
On my weekend to-do list: a run to my hair stylist for a color + trim and a meet-up with friends for Taste of Park Place (someone said food, beverages, and sunshine and I was absolutely IN). Have a great weekend, everyone!
Linking up today with Vodka Infused Lemonade, Stylin in St. Louis, Perfectly Coutured + Everyday Fashion & Finance, Walking in Memphis in High Heels, VMG206, Midwest Bloggers, and Style Elixir.
Oh that necklace is from Bauble Bar? I will have to check it out. I have been looking for one of these.

Gotta love those fool-proof go-to outfits for those lacklustre days. Mine also comprises of a stripe top and black jeans. God bless Breton stripes!

Confession– other than when it was part of my school uniform, I have NEVER owned khakis….and I don’t think I’ve ever owned a striped top either! I just don’t do well in preppier pieces. That being said— you look great, and totally at ease! LOVING the necklace!
Look how cute you are, friend! LOVE it! I am a fan of anything striped, and those flats are too cute. Also, obsessed with that tassel necklace!

I like that khaki colour and I have a lot of clothes in that colour, but most of them are shoes and accessories, such as a handbag and a scarf. Have a lovely weekend, Ashley!
