Bright Stripes.

{bandeau top: Target (old); skirt: thrifted; wedges: Dolce Vita for Target; sunnies: House of Harlow 1960}


When I first saw this skirt during one of my recent thrifting excursions, I immediately thought of this photo that I had sitting in one of my inspiration folders on my desktop:

The bright colors and striped pattern are so reminiscent of the hot Versace skirt that Ana Beatriz Barros donned in the pages of Elle US March 2011. This skirt also came with a sleeveless top... but since we were going to the beach, I figured I would sport my black bandeau bikini top with the skirt alone. I love drawing inspiration from magazines and blogs, then scouring thrift stores to finds similar pieces that are just as fabulous {and easier on the wallet too}!

I hope y'all have an amazing Labor Day weekend! xo! :)
