Lookbook : Striped Ruffle Wrap Midi Skirt

Spring Summer Outfit Ideas, Target Who What Wear Striped Ruffle Wrap Midi Skirt, Gap Striped Off Shoulder Top, Poplin Ruffle Skirt, Danse Lente Bag Lookalike, Danse Lente Dupe, Target Pink Strappy Sandals
Sky blue seems to be the color of the moment and I find myself picking up things in the delicate pale shade of blue (like this polka dot dress). This Target Who What Wear Ruffle Wrap Midi Skirt caught my eye last week in the store and it was like love at first sight 😍😍. Last year J.Crew had a similar skirt but it was sold out pretty quickly so when I found out the similar style in Target for even lower prices, I jumped on the chance to buy it. I had this Gap Off Shoulder Stripe Top from last year and it matches with the stripes of the ruffles of skirt so well. I love pieces that I can mix, match and wear in different ways to get the most use out of, and these two pieces are really good in that regard.
I love the color combination of sky blue and fuchsia. The strappy sandals (Krysten Block Heel Pumps by A New Day) are the prettiest color of hot pink and very comfortable. I have seen similar style and color in department stores for over $100 but these sandals are under $33, look high end and are very comfortable!

I am a sucker for stripes. So when I saw these J.Crew striped sailor pants, I knew they are going home with me:-) I had this frilly sleeve top from Zara (This year is ALL about the dramatic sleeves BTW) and it is perfect with the wide leg pants for a dramatic yet playful look.

Bag - Cult Gaia
Cult Gaia Ark bag has become a cult (doing justice to its name!) among fashion bloggers and street style stars. It is not just a bag, but a piece of art, so much so that is even sold on Museum of Modern Art website!I saw this bag first in 2016 summer but it was sold out everywhere. I had my eyes on this bag for months and luckily it is available again now for limited time. It is guaranteed to be sold out soon so get it HERE while it is up for grabs!

Wide Leg Striped Sailor Pants - J.Crew
These pants are my new favorite. The fabric is thick so the pants are very structured but it is not stiff so it moves with you. I love the wide legs and the high waist with button details. The back has a very cute corset eyelet details. I am 5'8' and the inseam (34 inches) is long enough for me to wear these pants with flats. I am usually size 4 in J.Crew pants but got size 6 in these because the waist is small due to its high fitting style. If you are thinking to buy these pants, don't wait, just get it. You won't be disappointed.

Trend Spin: Striped Midi/Striped Maxi

I am big fan of a midi hemlines. Specially in full skirts and sheath style dresses. Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham (both of whose style I adore!) wear just-below-the knee hemlines so fabulously! Since I am tall, it is hard to find regular dresses (in my budget) that fall below my knee without looking frumpy. I found some great skirts as ASOS (here and here) that fall below the knee beautifully! I am forever looking for a sheath dress or even blouson dress in that style of hemline. So when I saw this Cynthia Rowley column style maxi dress at  TJMaxx, a quick idea came to my mind - put a belt on the waist and pull the skirt part of the maxi over it to create a shorter (well, shorter than maxi) hemline! It works great with jersey knit fabric, as it stays put like that for long wear! The last picture in the post will give you a better idea!!
Bib necklace - Sears, similar from Dillards, just for $15!
Sunglasses - Lauren Konrad for Kohl's, Similar from Nordstrom, for $22
