Simple in Stripes

(Forever21 top, UO jeans, vintage bag, Dolce Vita shoes, BCBG necklace)

Thought I'd share one more quick outfit post with you guys! Today my sister and I had our last sewing class for our "Beginners Sewing" 8-week long course. The classes were pretty awesome and our instructor taught us quite a lot in such a short period of time. We were able to get the basics down pact, take on a few mini sewing projects, and each sew our own skirt with the pattern and material of our choice. I'll share my finished product in an upcoming post.

I wanted to stick to just a few simple pieces today. I'm wearing a new striped top I picked up from Forever21. That store is the best go-to to hunt down some bright pieces to gradually introduce (or re-introduce) into one's wardrobe. I keep finding such great stuff. Paired with my comfy BDG skinnies from UO and fave booties that I'm sure you guys have seen me wear many many times on this blog. I LOVE them. I'm thinking of getting the black ones. And finally, to add just a bit of 'chic' to the outfit, I wore a gold BCBG necklace.

Have a great week everybody!

xoxo Ally
