I love wearing a necklace over a buttoned-up collared shirt. It's like a girlie version of a bow tie and it's so much fun to wear. I like Alexa's plain black bottoms, but I've been missing this old favorite stripe skirt so I paired it with that instead! I'm wearing it a couple inches higher than usual, because the shirt has a big peplum seam through the middle and it looked funny with that showing. I also didn't realize that my bra was showing slightly until after I looked at the photos. When I wore it, I added this Kohl's seamless day bra (previously featured here) over my regular bra to eliminate that problem completely!

 Also - when did Banana Factory add online shopping?! I discovered it while searching for similar striped skirts for this post and almost fell off the couch. A lot of the sizes are already sold out, so I'm guessing it's been online for awhile now. I am all for shopping in the comfort of your own home and it looks like shipping is free in both directions, so let the shopping begin! I ordered the giraffe tank above, and this tank.
