Zara Cross Back Top

Printed Cross Back Top – Zara | Short Faux Suede Button Up A-Line Skirt – H&M | Heeled Sandals – Forever21

A good pinstripe isn’t limited to pant suits anymore, nor to stuffy button ups. The feminine touch of this Zara blouse is what initially drew me to it, not to mention the burnt orange and red pinstripe print. Lightweight, breezy, and undoubtedly adorable are just some of the reasons I love the pieces you find in Zara’s Tarafluc collections. With Summer quickly approaching here in Southern California I’m going to be transitioning away from long sleeve button ups and opting for, well, short sleeve ones but also more options in the sleeveless categories. This skirt will also be in heavy rotation, as I’ve learned in my years, pleather skirts during summer are a big NO NO unless you truly enjoy having your waist profusely sweaty. Faux suede however is a great alternative, the texture is just as great and you won’t have the sweating problem. I’d say it’s a win win.

Color palette & textures for summer will consist of: crepe, suede, camel, brown, burnt orange, red, light blue denim.
