Candy Striper

I found this fantastic Alice + Olivia stripey shirt at Houndstooth Boutique a couple weeks ago, and fell in love with the candy colors.

Fresh off a vacation, followed by my family reunion, it’s an easy throw on item – and very forgiving of my overindulgence the past week.

  • Sometimes it’s the little details that make the outfit. The flutter sleeve. The ombre earring. A super tall pair of shoes. And my little four year old daughter capturing it all on film.
